when you’re attempting to sex talk with a french guy, who, while luxuriating in a frothy bubble bath, suddenly goes on an impassioned rant about how saturday night wrist altered the very course of his existence

connections are difficult to grasp; i find myself reflecting on the triviality of existence when certain events arise unannounced. so unannounced that i’m compelled to pinch a part of myself, hoping to confirm whether i’ve wandered into an oniric zone or if this is truly the unfiltered reality. a part of me knows i often seal away fleeting emotions, erecting barriers to shield my fragile self from the gaze of others. yet, some dust stars have flashes too luminous and rare for me to justify such selfishness. in their presence, i recall ancient vows made under moonlight—to unburden my âme and let the winds carry the pieces i’ve kept hidden. so, from this day forth, i vow to be freer with myself, to slowly loosen the chains that bind my heart, or at the very least, to make a true and earnest attempt.

so ancient is the desire for one another that it is implanted in us, uniting our original nature, making one out of two, and healing the state of man
