wellalright:

i think one of the worst things about people is that you can’t just openly admit to wanting to know someone. like i guess you can, but unless you want to be “that guy” you can’t just be like, “i want to be your friend.” because it’s just so not the norm of luring someone to you with your personality. i can’t even imagine what the world would be like if you could go up to someone and be like, “don’t you want to be part of this? because i think we could make it happen. let’s just experience life together. let’s get right in that middle part of the venn diagram and pool our info.”

like i’m positive you could take any two people and force them to interact and on a long enough timeline they’d eventually just bond. i mean it’s hard to hate anyone once you learn even just one human thing about them. it’s happened to me and it’s the most frustrating thing. you hate a guy in class and then you have to work together on some project for nine hours and then you find out he’s hopelessly in love with someone who doesn’t even know his name or something and you’re like, “fuck, am i really relating to you right now?” and all of a sudden it’s like this pocket dimension forms where you’re just two entities detached from reality. it’s like you’re floating in some timeless void where everything you say makes the other person think, “i feel that too and i love that you’re even acknowledging it.” but it’s sad because you both sort of know it’s this connection that’s going to fade away the second you leave the room. because it’s a thing that could only exist under those circumstances. on any normal day there would be too many other factors in play, even shallow shit like, “do i think this person is too ugly for me to want to hang out with? do i think the sound of their voice is annoying? are we just from two different circles?”

whenever i see birds sitting on power lines i kind of assume they all know each other. just based on the fact that they’re all birds and they all do the same bird things each day and they’re physically close. but then it’s like, people are all people who do the same people things and i’ve never looked at a group of them and thought, “yeah they must all be in it together.” i guess what i’m getting at is that everything is separated, even things that you don’t really think have to be, and it’s weird. also you shouldn’t assume birds know each other, because they could just be like two birds standing on the same thing.
