@pwiplup Sure, Amir. It's Lauri or Naim, either works! Sometimes I wish I had Dory's short-term memory, but then I'd lose all the good memories too. So yeah, keep swimming, keep swimming.
@prievity Exactly this. I'm about to foam at the mouth. Why treat romantic love as the be-all and end-all when so much of who we are comes from platonic love? Maybe this is why people jump into another relationship right after one ends.
@gildedtrunks Finally, I found my people! And indeed, I think living in Antarctica would be pretty fun. What about you? What animal would you want to be reborn as? P.S. Sorry for the late reply, Melrose. Somehow I didn't get notified.
I hereby blame the midnight intrusive thoughts for convincing me that I needed a second copy of The Song of Achilles just to experience that heartbreak for the first time again. (The first one is practically covered in annotations.)
@Seltenfels That's the tricky part of being an empath. You feel so deeply for others that it's easy to forget yourself. I hope you never forget that you're just as precious as the people you care for, if not more so.
