One good thing about masks is that you really appreciate people’s eyes. I swear some of you folks have really beautiful eyes.

I just spent over 2K on things I need. As a simple man... this hurts lol

I'm married to a woman far more attractive to me who loves me and is honest with me, and I spend my time secretly fantasizing about one that (in my opinion) is less attractive and treated me like crap.

Bad things are a happening. I live in a building near a bunch of other apartment buildings. The number of people I see moving out this month has skyrocketed. I hope it just a coincidence, but I worry this might the start of a new wave of homelessness and poverty.

I’m in love with a 41 year old man who treats life like a giant high school. Not in a good way. There was nothing good about high school. I must be in the special class.

Other than dating in Jan/Feb and then a very little bit in the summer, I’ve been single this whole year. I hate not knowing how long it will be until I can actually start dating (safely) for real again. I’ve been single for almost all of my 20s so it’s not that I’m the type that needs to be in a relationship. I’ve just found myself pretty lonely these days. I know I’m a good girlfriend and I really put my all in being supportive and loving. I’ve never been able to find someone that cares about me in return but I’m really looking forward to the day I do.

When I yawn, I make Swedish Chef noises.

Or at least have some abilities. People usually get jealous or find it intimidating. They’re always wondering how I seem to know everything. They want my advice all the time but then I start to feel sort of used.

wondering about the I Saw You people. Do they ever get together? Or are they just a bunch of lonely people desperately looking for connections in all the wrong places? Building up a casual comment or professional smile into something too big. I only wonder because I've been guilty of this - thinking someone really liked me, but they were just being polite. I hope those people are more aware and realistic than I was.

I bumped into someone I thought was a friend today who made an excuse not to stop and chat. When she walked away she said “see you around.” I know what that means. It’s too bad people don’t talk things out anymore. Vanishing without a trace is somehow easier than having a conversation. I don’t get it.
