nr it's over 200726
...
nr but not quite? something is over but maybe something else is new. or maybe things are different yet also the same yet changing. i realized it bugged me a bit when you said certain things weren't specifically for me when i'd kind of assumed they were. maybe i feel more comfortable when you're where i want you to be, even if i don't want to be there. 200826

nr i’d only potentially be ready to know how you feel IF it’s exactly the same as i feel, but i don’t know if i ever will know that, so... i guess this is a realization in itself. 200826

tender_square today, i overheard a guy at the dmv say that his birth year was 2000. let that sink in for a moment: the beginning of the millennium was twenty-three years ago.

later, a friend and i texted about teeth grinding and i mentioned that i wear my grade school retainer as a mouth guard. that's right: i have a retainer that's older than the dmv dude.

(wouldn't that be the best insult? "i have a retainer that's more mature than you are!")
