Men who think deeply appear as comedians when they traffic with others, because in order to be understood they always have first to simulate a surface.

Someone fuck me on the counter before you cook me dinner

I HAVE FUCKING NO ONE. I STAY IN MY FUCKING ROOM AND JUST PRETEND. PRETEND THAT MY LIFE IS DIFFERENT, THAT IM DIFFERENT, THAT THINGS ARE DIFFERENT. I DONT WANT TO PRETEND ANYMORE. I JUST WANT TO BE HAPPY. I WANT TO HAVE FRIENDS. I WANT TO HAVE PLANS. I WANT TO HAVE MEMORIES. I WANT TO HAVE FUN AND LAUGH AND HUG. I NEED A HUG. I NEED HUMAN CONTACT. I NEED SOMEONE TO CARE. I NEED SOMEONE.

I became good at pretending. I became so good that after a while, the lines blurred between my truth and fiction. And sometimes, when I did a really good job of pretending, I even fooled myself.

colin joking about so-and-so being "his" is lowkey so real because at a certain point in the closet, idk if anyone else was like this, but hinting at it and no one picking up on it gets somewhat addictive. like, "how far can i push this?" at the same time as hoping no one picks up on anything. like ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
