The night before was hazy but as she stared intently at the ceiling of the room she was in, she noticed it wasn’t hers. She stood up and looked around. The place was halfway between a mess and organized chaos. Another detail she missed as she woke up was that she was naked.

She found her underwear by the bedside cupboard barely hanging on the edge. Her dress was hanging over the room’s door like it too was drunk last night. Her purse was just outside the room. She hurriedly collected all her belongings and began to dress up.

As she was figuring out how a dress works, soft hands traced her waist and they explored further south. They caressed her leg and went back, as slowly as they could, to her waist while her dress was halfway over her head.

And then soft lips pressed at the small of her back, slowly they moved up charting every curve, muscle, and bone on her back. She pulled the dress off and turned to find who it was. It was one of the girls she met the night before.

I really thought you were one of those girls.

Which girls?

The catholic-schooled types.

Sometimes I’m that, sometimes a freak.

I've been subscribed to this channel for a while and her aesthetic always distracts me from the philosophy.

Can't believe Jamie Tartt is a professor now.

It feels like the purgatory of human senses. It’s like you’re becoming a bland biscuit about to go bad in few days (which you’re not supposed to do, you’re a biscuit damn it!). It’s the paralysis demon of senses. I don’t know how to describe it further.

I don’t have a particular coping mechanism whenever this happens. I just lay down and look at the ceiling or plug some music on to distract my senses, or to release it for something else. I think this is why I have sour gummy worms and a couple bottles of lemon juice concentrate on the fridge. The hard texture and the sour taste deliberately distracts my body and forces it to a “reset”.

I don’t know, I just work here, I suppose I don’t care You can burn it down as far as I’m concerned

I tried Victory Liner's sleeper bus recently and it's kinda underwhelming but definitely good for kids who are a little (maybe more) introverted. The heuristics also works but space is a bit lacking. I'd say about 6/10 because of the price (but I think it's worth it for longer haul trips; 8+ hours).

Working away from the city in the meantime. I hope you have great plans for these next few weeks. Enjoy!
