i crave meaningful and honest conversations with people but now everyone’s so fucking dry. i can get someone not wanting to open up and i respect that, you don’t have to. but it genuinely does matter to me when people talk to me about literally anything, even if i just have to listen and nothing more, it means the world to me. talk to me about your day, or your hyper fixations, or your passions, your thoughts, feelings, anything.
