my friend believes all body disorder originates in the psyche, so if anything is even slightly wrong with me he takes out a huge book, looks it up and asks “did [specific event] just happen to you?” and the answer is always yes. 10/10 the most annoying thing ive ever experienced.

if you have a space like this, you eventually stop going upstairs and just sleep on the couches. soon you go upstairs so rarely that weird spiritual energy pools up there. very difficult to dissipate. starts to feel like a forbidden zone. ominous. its not yours. few discuss this.

just thought about the girl who, in her 20s, tried on my glasses as a joke and realized she needed glasses. she thought architectural details on buildings was a purely artistic "to please God" type thing, that people would just think about, but like her be unable to actually see

when i first started as a cashier, i had a person get furious at me. kind of rattled me. guy i was working with said, “its not you. if you interact with 600 people in a row and its normal 599 times, its them”. true. so thats when i started intentionally enraging 1 customer a day.

the truth is that if you're not world class in the very competitive stuff by the time you're an adult you're never going to be, and you should stop trying to compare against that tier and do something useful instead

the turkish word for “owl” is apparently literally “mr. bird”. could never be comfortable in a place like that

i used to teach an art class for little kids. we had a unit where each kid drew “someone powerful”. 99% of boys drew: a tank man made of tanks with tanks for arms and his head is a tank. 99% of girls drew a princess. everyone i worked with hated this and it happened every time.

Friend had terrible acid reflux for months—was sleeping upright, taking meds. Disappeared the night he told his wife he wanted a divorce.
