Imagine if we didn't have "Like" buttons, but instead, we had "There's a good boy" buttons. Would you rather have 110 Likes or one voice resonating so deeply in your Self that you feel, even if only momentarily, alive

thank you for the kind offer to “hang out”sorry it didn’t work out. it turned out there was a vast library of music available to all and an empty room in which to listen to it by myself for as long as I wanted without having to “catch up” or “have a conversation”
