Together
You’re different
With all of us
Versus just me.
You’re different
With a whole crazy friend group
Than you are when it’s us chilling in your basement watching Stranger Things -
People
People want things from me
This incredible group of people
They want me to mediate
To laugh
To help them with x, y, and z
They want me to come with them
Pulling me in different directions constantly

Childhood obsession
A childhood obsession, sure.
That's how it started.
But it's all I am -
It's who I am -
It's the deepest
Truest
Version of myself I could possibly be.
The notebook.
Stats and tracking

College and other future plans and maybes
When we talked about college
Four years away for you
Five for me
You want to go to MIT
"Math", you said
4.7% acceptance rate
Buddy, trust me, if anyone can make it it's you and that's not even bias,

Punching waves
My therapist told me not to punch waves
I think it was supposed to be a metaphor
I don't punch waves
I throw myself into them
Relentlessly
Until I can't feel the pain

If I called you
If I called you
Right now
In the middle of the night
If I called you in tears
And said I don't know
I don't know how to do this anymore
Maybe I never did
One second I'm fine
The next
Loves

I Just Want Something I Don't Want
There's a rope swing
all the way back in the woods.
I forgot it was there.
I took you there,
do you remember?
Yesterday we read quotes my mother kept from when my sister and I were little.

Dear Rigby
the road turns slow past the fields
stone crackles under the tires like a voice i forgot i missed
i lean forward in my seat holding my breath
because there you are
just past the trees

A Hug of People
We didn't know the guy
in the truck
who's that guy?
my sister asked,
and I wondered if city people
expected to know everyone
they saw around town.

"I Love Whatever Is Wrong With You"
A mini opinionated rant/essay of the new, popular phrase of Gen Z: "I love whatever is wrong with you."

First Love… Unrequited
You’re my best friend
You’re always there for me
You support me constantly
And understand
In ways no one else could
We met in 8th grade
Introduced by a mutual friend
Whom we now both despise

How do I help
One of the things that hurts me most
out of everything
is when I see you stressed
frustrated
upset
about things that I agree with too
and you're going through pain
and I don't know how to help
