i honestly thought i was just nosy, but i think your explanation really captures it. this also explains why I have a difficult time connecting with people who insist on only showing the curated, mistake-free version of themselves. how can i love you when you won’t let me know you??? such a lovely piece and I’m superrrr jealous of the air guitar class you mentioned

My mother is Dutch-Indonesian like the Van Halen family. Those songs are literally etched into my DNA. You have good taste! Your writing is so rich. Keep asking these questions. Never stop writing!

I think maybe I’m still broken from being so close to people for so long, sharing every detail when maybe I shouldn’t have…. and now I’m afraid to share anything with anyone. Because what if I do, and they leave again? Even this feels like I’m over sharing.

that’s understandable, and i think it’s a shame that people have used your vulnerability against you. the only solace i can offer is that i think you will find people, eventually, who will listen to all of your oversharing and vulnerable moments and love you despite of it

This is a perfect description of everything I feel all the time 😭 I feel so damn nosy sometimes digging for details but it’s because I just really want to know my friends on as deep of a level as I can without living in their brains 🥲
