do we only fall for perfect people. is the absence of flaws what makes the desire, be they hidden from us by the object of our affection or by ourselves
‪the realisation that i could be perfect if i really wanted to, but i just don't, i wear my heart on my sleeve‬
‪a dream is always built around some kind of precious lie‬
‪ethylene glycol‬

ethylene glycol.
@hikari i think we fall for people who exude fatuous meaning
but i also think perfection is worth striving for, even if it may not be worth attaining
(that ship had sailed for me before i had even confirmed its existence)
@hikari i recently met (and, admittedly, experienced some limerence for) a person who told me something like "i learned a lot from my journey, most importantly i learned how much i don't know about the world - and now i don't want to learn more, i want to be happy where i am"
but for me to stop learning, improving, empowering oneself, means complacency, unfreedom, and slow dissolution. i may not wear my heart on my sleeve any more but i still wear my mind on my collar
