can't stop thinking about how friends really decided my top 5 favorite movies with total accuracy. *I* didn't even know my top 5 movies like they did. makes me want to cry a bit, in a way,

seems really fucked up that the moment i think "i'm probably aromantic" all i get are posts being 'chronically single' and 'a third wheel to your friends' as if i'm not having enough problems coming to terms with being Alone for the next 30+ years

the worst part about being [gestures to All Of Me] is that i know i'm never going to get married and i'll never have my dad walk me down the aisle even though i have the PERFECT song picked out for it

i'm still emotional like. my job truly tests the limit of of my patience BUT sometimes i get to see a Flow Naruto concert for cheap while my company pays for my hotel and all my meals and my airfare. and suddenly all the shit i went through in middle school was worth it.

i was so nervous about going to a concert by myself but i ended up having the absolute time of my life. like all my little 12 year old trauma is healed. that was the best night of my life.

Again, I know in the telling it sounds like I was on top of this situation but really, I was still just thinking, Oh shit oh shit oh shit.
