Should I mix my songs in stereo?
I ask myself this question because you reminded me recently that your left ear wasn’t hearing as well as the other. As this is the only way to reach out to you, I want to make sure it gets to you in the best possible configuration without any loss in the clarity of everything in put in there. (I say this as if music wasn’t already limited to hints and insinuations to begin with but...

queerella answered your question: Hey!
Most romantic thing you’ve ever done for anyone?
I’m not quite sure if I should be the person to ask about this, as at the end of it, whoever was the subject of such acts would be the ones to call whether they were romantic. In any case, I think you probably already know the things I did for people I was grossly infatuated with in university: a...

Around this time, two years ago.
Christopher Hitchens once talked about a very important difference between remorse and regret, namely, that the former is what one feels for bad things you’ve done, the latter for those you didn’t do but wish you had. Now that I have the lenses of time to examine the situation back then more closely, it becomes clear to me now that perhaps what I have now is just that: the voices that...

Inadvertently opened an old wound from 2009.
Discovered saved chat transcripts from that time. This should explain much.

Conception.
It has gone around: that perhaps, you really are not in love with her but merely infatuated with the idea of her. This may arguably be true but not because it’s convenient. Rather, such is the case because you’re cornered into making this concession and offering this surrender: what else is there to hold when all that can be done is to conceive?

Today [as a monologue in my head].
You know these things, these objects you create —- they’re all like messages in the bottle: they very rarely end up in the hands of people who are supposed to read them.
