i have like a list of six people i wanna punch in the eyes right now and in general i feel angry towards a certain personality type so i make sure ppl don’t talk to me for too long or sit near me bc some ppl dk when their presence is too much (like stop talking and pay attention to the interactions around u)
but today i find brynda randomly on the street and we do our check-ins on each other and we hug and we do our usual affirming exchange of words and i feel better bc she has such a good sense of picking up on cues and responding efficiently in few words and in smiles and in actions when i feel sour
and today jliu and i run into each other outside the library and he asks “are you ok” and i say “no” and he gives me a hug and leans his head onto my unwashed hair and when we pull back we talk about the rest of our weeks in just a few words and he hugs me two more times before saying it’s gonna be ok
i will never in my life wanna punch brynda or jliu
