on hiatus

where i come from, our culture (traditionally) doesn't really encourage makeup. it's seen as a somewhat pretentious thing to partake in, and women only do makeup for special occasions like weddings. men simply don't wear any makeup.

“I was fascinated by strangers, wanted to know what food they ate and what dishes they ate it from, what movies they watched and what music they listened to, wanted to look under their beds and in their secret drawers and night tables and inside the pockets of their coats.”

Do you understand? When I am done telling you these stories, when you’re done listening to these stories, I am no longer I, and you are no longer you. In this afternoon we briefly merged into one. After this, you will always carry a bit of me, and I will always carry a bit of you, even if we both forget this conversation.

We make burnt cakes on sunday evenings and take bad selfies, we dance to offbeat music and leave the dishes for tomorrow- a little life, million little lives. We're okay, I think.
