☹️❀️ what you are is rare, Jack. This is honestly one of the sweetest things I've ever read, no matter how short and simple it is. It's earnest and adorable, and the world needs that right now. It's like hot chocolate. Going really soft on you, this isn't good

Jack's avatar

Omg Marie 😭😭 thank you ily I won’t tell anyone about going soft dw

your heart is special, Jack. as a natural born yeaner, you have such a way with words and the imagination. i’m jealous of those who get to know you in person, because i think we’d be the kind of best friends people write stories about

sending my love 🫢🀍

Jack's avatar

Omg 😭 that means a lot because i often don’t feel understood even by friends. I hope you know how much I want you to be in my life even if it’s not irl 🫢

emma πŸžβ‹†Λšκ©œ's avatar

i feel the same way. we shall be best friends long distance through the screen because i want you in my life too 🀍

A philosopher, a renaissance man, an explorer of the heart and mind, an absolute poet. I’ve only read one Dostoyevsky, so maybe don’t read too deeply into this, but this piece reminds me of what he’d write if he was essentially a joyous and hopeful yearner

this is so beautiful and i completely feel the same. i love wondering what people are like even if i don’t even know their names and i truly just want to get to know someone so well that i see them in everything. i haven’t gotten that chance yet but i hope that someday, we both will!

Jack's avatar

did you ever read the book stargirl when you were younger ?

Jack's avatar

Hmm not that I remember but that name sounds familiar

✧ brooklyn 𓆏's avatar

there’s this part in the book where the main character has this game where they try to imagine the lives of the people that pass them. super cute. reminded me of this. lovely writing !

Jack's avatar

Oooo cool I’ll investigate, and ty!!

as a yearner for a lot of things… i feel seen. sometimes i wonder too much about a singular person, which isn’t healthy whatsoever. i really just want that personal, friendship connection with them. sometimes the outcome won’t always be what you’d hope for. sometimes it works out. fate has realities for a reason. this was adorable, jack. really really loved reading this.

Jack's avatar

Thank you this means a lot
