and right now it's hurting a lot. and i won't tell you that because 'it's the most wonderful time of the year' as they say. and i don't want to hurt you.

...i hope... you enjoy my company...
...maybe you don't... not like i enjoy yours... but...
i know... we don't get to hang out like real people... and there's nothing we can do... and nothing we have in common outside of this...
...but... you know...

...i yearn, and it hurts sometimes.

I guess morning wakeups aren't for me? I started feeling more okay as the day wore on but I felt horrific during those morning hours

It's genuinely upsetting to me. I'm distressed all the time every time that something I see might be AI. I liked the Birds feed because I didn't feel like I had to be hypervigilant all the time but then I noticed that the feet were off and lo and behold, AI poster.
And now I'm paranoid!

just. better for everyone.

I dunno, I just feel... sad. I don't think it's the heat, I think it's... I just don't feel like I'm worth anything.
