for the past couple of weeks i've been seeing people around the city that look so much like people i used to know---i got on the subway with a guy who reminded me of an old teacher and i sat across the bar from someone who looked just like a roommate from college and i saw someone who looked like an ex-fling in the audience at my friend's show tonight. comforting in some ways that we're all more or less the same and that there will be pieces of us scattered everywhere by the people around the city.

where are they going? what's in their bags? are they looking for an old friend, a distant lover?

I saw someone I haven't properly spoken to in over a year and still got along with him like we hadn't missed a beat, which was a nice reminder that no matter how much I've changed the person I used to be is still recognisable and lovely

if the text requires more than 3 sentences it’s a voice memo! the efficiency of just getting to speak! the intimacy of sending your voice and the process of gathering your thoughts in real time! the presence of tone and vocal inflection! i actually aspire to only ever communicate via phone calls and voice memos. texting is such a menace in my life.
