“I wrote you a letter, and then another letter, and another, and another, until I wrote you a word.

So I wrote you a word, and then another word, and another, and another, until I wrote you a sentence.

So I wrote you a sentence, and then another sentence, and another, and another, until I wrote you a letter.

I hope it finds you as I found you.

Yours truly, Yours, truly.”

okay so i went to bo burnham’s website bc i was rewatching make happy and he mentioned it (shameless self-promotion works kids don’t give up on your dreams) and when you go to boburnham.com you get this screen

and if you click yes then it goes to his about page

so okay sure cool but if you click no?

it goes to a webpage with a bunch of pictures of his dog with the caption “this is my dog bruce and i love him”

like this page isn’t linked anywhere on the main headers for his website it’s just accessible if you know the url or if you answered “no” to the question “are you happy”

- Apparently singing “Kill yourself” in school repeatedly in school is not socially acceptable

- Emotionally screaming “But I’ll blow my dad before I eat a burrito with a fork”

- “Dude what’s your problem with Pringle cans and burritos??!”

- Constantly pissing people off with “A perspective of God”

- Obsessively learning all piano pieces and when people ask you what are you playing: “Um… You know, the classics? Straight white man?”

- People thinking you’re edgy because you keep rapping “I am not not one of you, I am not a human being”

- Then judging you because you’re not supposed to make a rap version of i’m a little tea pot and baa baa black sheep

- “Please stop being gay for jesus”

- Bringing a chime with you and every time you hear poetry you ring it
