I typed something somewhat long, and it cleared.

sigh.

I typed everything and felt a little disgusted at how emotional that was.

a part of me is glad it cleared out.

but in summary, when pieces of writing are so good they hurt, I feel the ache in my chest.

would you believe me if I told you this one made me tear up too? weird.

probably cos of what's been happening to me.

but still.

reading this gave me words for why I've been this way, why I am this way, gave me words for what it is.

thank you, for writing.

may art never die!

I feel like what I imagine art enthusiasts or history nerds feel when they walk into a museum. This is a work of art, and it took my breath away. I'll never think of 'primary colours' the same way again! Thank you for this experience.
