sorry for being weird and evasive. i was raised to believe that having wants and needs was a moral failing

“Once, at the height of COVID, I dropped off a book at the home of Werner Herzog. I was an editor at the time and was trying to assign him a review, so I drove up to his gate in Laurel Canyon, and we had the briefest of masked conversations. Within 30 seconds, it turned strange. ‘Do you have a dog? A little dog?’ he asked me, staring out at the hills of Los Angeles, apropos of nothing. He didn’t wait for an answer. ‘Then be careful of the coyotes,’ Herzog said. ‘The coyotes will come and eat it. That’s what they do. They hunt for little dogs.’”

i also told him that sometimes i feel like i grew up to quickly and i'm tired now. that i was thrown in a pool and now i'm getting tired of swimming.

and he's so insightful and always has nice things to say... "but you learned to swim at least, you just have to rest for a little while"

also i said to him 'good boy' thru text the other day and yesterday he made me sit next to him at a chair and said 'good girl' when i did lmao

nvm i met my friend yesterday and we recreated those long hangouts that we used to do in cali

we had so much fun, it was such a nice day! finally met at the station at half past one, the sun was out and the sky was clear, utrecht was very very crowded and we both come from small towns so it was a bit much. we walked to a shop and i bought a tarot card deck (special edition of the raider waite) and then we went for a coffee while sitting outside. afterwards we went to a book store and i made him read a section describing piranhas of a children's book on the amazon region. he listened to me and bought a book on stoicism. we bantered with each other so much, it was so fun....

while at a shop he saw an acquaintance and introduced me too :-) and afterwards we went to see the new robbie williams biopic where he's a monkey, stopped to get döner, he ate half of my döner box. we had to bike there so he was guiding the way and i was behind. but we were playing with each other, racing or pushing each other. he almost falls. we played hide and seek and i laughed a lot.

after the movie we biked to the city center and went for some drinks. i told him i almost ghosted him because i felt confused. he said i could talk to him and tell him that, that he knows he was lacking in planning and that his communication skills are also not great but he will work on it. i also told him it wasn't necessarily his fault, but that i've been hurt before and when i feel unsure i run away. that when i texted him i rewrote the message like five times because i didn't want to seem needy. it was nice to clear the air and he's very sweet.

after drinks we walked to the train station and i was shivering, put my arm around his arm and covered myself from the wind. he dropped me off at the gates at half past eleven and we said goodbye. he's so sweet, i like him a lot and i'm really happy i have him as a friend!! we enjoy each other's company and it's so easy. we have bits and it's so funny.

he brought me the gifts he gave me for my birthday! and it was tea from china and a little dragon pet.
