On loneliness

There’s so much on the internet now in the cultural wave we live in that urges us to get good at being alone. To set boundaries and cut people out of our lives who are toxic or draining. To write journals. Wake up earlier. Be sober curious. Meditate. Tone our bodies. Tone our minds. Arrive on time. Sell our old clothes. Wipe down our walls. Not text our ex. Write back when we’re ready. Be grateful for the small things. Use serums on our skin. Pay our bills before they’re overdue - all these micro little moves to make life more bearable and living feel less lonely.

The thing is though, I think the experience of living is innately lonely. We’re born alone, we go on our journey through the world alone, each on our own missions to reach some kind of stage of calm, equinox, understanding, and above everything, connection.

There are moments when I feel envious of people whose lives look so effortlessly less lonely. They have close families who call each other often, traditions, cultures, rituals — threads that pull them together to the people they’re closest to with the gentlest of tugs.

I’m jealous of that simplicity. So I’ve spent my life setting out to make my own. My girl friends who feel like my bones. My colleagues who send me cute design shit to look at on the weekend. My friends who go to weird back alley gigs with. Fellow poets who want to sit on their balcony and drink instant coffee at nine at night. My sports friends who want to get me into watching the Warriors. My older friends who invite me to their four-bedroom homes and make me expensive cocktails. My yogi friends. My surfer friends. All these different people moving me into different well-lit rooms. The more I let them in, the less alone I feel.

Reminder if you’re pro Hindu, you have to be pro Palestine. It’s a conflict of colonization, if you were against the colonization of Hindus by the Mughal empire and against the colonization of India by the British then you need to be against the colonization of Palestine.

Sincerely,

A Hindu

ynbarzalofficial: hi guys. it's come to our attention lately that there's been a lot of speculation in the media about our relationship, so we just wanted to pop in and clear some things up. first of all, mat and i have been together for eight years now, which was something we did not choose to disclose to the public immediately -- the irony is that that privacy backfired on us, because no, we did not break up; i do not have a boyfriend -- he is in fact my brother's friend and was helping us out with our new house. secondly...we may have been fucking around with you all and purposefully posting all those angsty cringey stuff to our accounts because we thought it was funny (and i am sorry about that), and that (big shocker)(take a deep breath) we have been married very happily for three years. third: watch this space for a surprise soon.

barzal97: it was all my idea, and i have to say it went quite well; we got the privacy to enjoy our relationship without worrying about the pressures of the media. i can finally say that i am a very VERY happily married man. gosh i love my wife. that feels so good to say. and you wouldn't have a complete playlist of our relationship without the final song: daylight by taylor swift (and because we love it so much, add cowboy like me on there too). i can't wait to spend forever with you ynofficialbarzal and i'm so excited for the future. it feels so weird saying you're my wife on social media after we've been married for years already.
