there's a lot i could say about this track, to the extent that i think a complete analysis would basically unfold all the corners of my last personality, but the fact that it captures its own bittersweet untimely nature in a way i can't tolerate for long is all the more points in its favor
but i'm not numb or depressed, it's mild but it's still irritatation. pretty cool actually, im having adult emotions where i can still feel things but not have it be so all-consuming
i was listening back to some old diary audios from youtube and i was talking about how i would hold arnan's and gen's hand while doing other things and that was really cute. plus there was that time i kissed peter at a party
you can try to do branching path posting a la prxr but i don't think it works that well. although its probably underutilized and under-explored, particularly in the diary space. like you could reply two branches of where you took the reflection to demonstrate some ambivalence on proper phrasing
idk maybe if i used reddit view for threads i'd be more open to it, but run it just doesn't flow all that well. especially because the temporal aspect of the posts are too easily obscured, where you're actually building on what has already been established so the order is wrong
this is a double inversion of a juliet classic (flipping the subject/object of evaluation [feeling* rather than being felt about], and a rejection instead of an extension of past ideals ["not" rather than "not just"]).
i'm also aware im dedicating an inordinate amount of time thinking about it and i'm not so sure how to evaluate that. I'm excited and apprehensive and wary about both of those emotions. our relationship is this really satisfying split of playful and serious.
it's just really clever and fun and intelligent and reflective and kind in a way i respect. it's nice to respect someone like that, and it's nice to respect it in particular given my less than respectful treatment in the past
i'm a little too high and sleep deprived to find it rn but juliet told me once at a very influential time that i needed to have some relationships that were more private and she was absolutely correct
