Thoughts on ‘Selected Tweets’ by Mira Gonzalez & Tao Lin

Reminder to self: view life like it is a book that is already written that I’m allowed to read once without stopping from beginning to end

I agree with Mira. Adding to her answer, haiku is another form with strict, limiting rules, and people don’t seem to argue much, that I know of, that haiku isn’t art. Tweets are especially interesting to me because each tweet is timestamped and automatically included in a linear chronology, confined to whatever Twitter account, and there’s interaction with other people.

Desire insane amounts of validation from people. Never actively seek it. Never express any desires you have, then become upset when people don’t fulfill them. Become disillusioned with the world, with relationships and with humanity as a whole when you are treated poorly by someone you foolishly thought had enough patience to love you. Feel wronged when they don’t do the things you wanted them to do, even though you never told them what the things you wanted them to do were. Wonder why every person in the entire world seems inevitably separate from you at best, and in some kind of malicious plot against you at worst.

you will roll around in an empty parking lot with him until you lose circulation in your limbs and forget your own name (everything is okay)
