“So tell me about yourself!”
“Ahhhh, you don’t wanna hear about me. There isn’t much to it.”
“Oh come on, we’re on a date I’m obviously interested.”
“Mm. Okay, fair. Let me think.”
*Thinking, as advertised.*
I have a profound respect for every human being I meet. I find every person to be definitively terrified of an unyielding lack of meaning, and I don’t think they know what to do with it. So, I try to be insightful without being overbearing when meeting new people. So much so that I feel at complete peace when seeing a face. Now, some are ill intentioned, so I look at how they respond to breadcrumbs. A truly solid human being will discuss their point of view with a childlike quality. They are not trying to be right, they are trying to be accurate. But this takes time to uncover, and I am in tune with the slow pace that life tends to reveal itself.

“Yeah I know it sucks doesn’t it? Born a fan.”
“So what do you think about Tua Tago-“
“Oh is that the waiter with the check?”
