Beautiful. Reading this I feel seen.. and I feel I can see myself (who I am and who I was). I love the concision, the flourishes, the bite, and the care in your writing.

"love is where we belong":

1. wherever it is that we experience belonging, that is love

2. love is a place & we belong there

3. .....maybe something about how all of us need to belong somewhere for it to truly be worthy of the name "love"?

I'm curious how you'd point at the third one

this is all so delightfully expressed that i almost reflexively want to flinch away and stop reading because it resonates so intimately with me that it feels like a stranger is touching me gently directly on the butthole and it feels weird and parasocial and one-sided to receive and not give, to see and not be seen so now i’m a weird little comment on the internet talking about my anus to a stranger Very cool many apologies

I don't know why I smiled and my heart filled with compassion after reading this.

I seem to see myself in your writing. I never look at people when talking. In the past months, the only things in my life are reading papers and watching videos and porns. When I was 17, I spent almost the whole year playing a mobile game. Every day what I did was only eating, sleeping and playing games.

Last year I started eating antidepressants. They do help me. Maybe they could also help you.
