Apparently, I'm In An Unironic Polycule Too. Seems Very Tumblr 2014 Of Me. Shout Out To Us.

I still think about you, by the way.

How could I not? We grew up together. You can see in our cadence, in our mannerisms. We are permanently intertwined to an extent, whether we we'd like to be or not. You shaped me, and I shaped you.

My father still talks about you too. We were products of our environment. And it was not fair to us. I hope you know that. How they spoke to and about us affected us in ways intangible.

I hope you are well, wherever you may be. I think I will always love you, in my own way.

Yeah, I work out ;)

(I carry up all the groceries in one trip because I am too stubborn to come back)

you ever smell a smell and then be 15 again?

There are few things I love more than lightning at night. It's so raw, so powerful. Nothing makes me feel smaller than seeing the night sky lit up as if it were noon.

WAIT!

Before the semester ends, would anyone like to admit they have a crush on me

I love living alone because I can laugh as loud as I want

Wait. You mean to tell me they named a animal "pee cock?" 🤨

It is a luxury to have a parent whom you will one day mourn

Fun fact! It costs zero dollars ($0.00 USD) to be kind :)

I know what you did.

You give me one of those terribly awkward side-hugs. You comment on my town, and how you'll have to come visit sometime. You are not welcome in my home. I smile and reply politely.

But our eyes don't lie. In yours I can see pity. "What ever happened to her?" "It's s shame, really. She used to be so sweet." Perhaps a hint of fear. You know that I know. You know that I remember.

In my gaze hangs only hatred.
