Respectfully.

i always think about the bird test and the gottman institute’s research on bids for connection.

when i see a post about cats it takes everything in me not to send it to them anymore.

it feels like i’m a baby in the still face experiment too, and while they’re only in front of me in my imagination now, they’re unresponsive even there.

it feels like we’re looking at the same moon and connected somehow when i see we’ve liked the same tiktok or instagram post. the other day i was so neurotic and desperate to feel connected to them that i scrolled through reels and only watched videos i saw they liked. it’s almost like we’re watching a movie together then.

the bird test matters to me because i like experiencing life alongside a partner and getting confirmation that we’re seeing the world together. the same way we used to go on twitter during historical events. like yall seeing this???

i think this feeling is emphasized knowing i won’t have a community on tiktok to witness history with anymore either after this week.

i didn’t eat enough today and got crazy. i just ate a hoagie but i’m still waiting for the glucose to hot my brain so i’m still crazy.

i really haven’t caught up that this is my new reality yet. i miss having my person.

for reference this is the bird thing

Took a test to find out what kind of bird I'd be. Now I feel bad. Trumpeter Swan You are the elegant Trumpeter Swan. Swans are known for their grace and elegance. A little known fact is that when a trumpeter swan hits you with one of its wings, it's like being hit with a major baseball player's bat. Ouchies. You are a swan because you have very refined tastes. You are very elegant and graceful like a swan, but you have a tendency to look down upon others. You are very protective and dedicated to those you love and would sacrifice yourself for them. You probably excel at athletics like swimming and dancing because they take prowess and control which you certainly have. You are beautiful, but you need to remember that a person's disposition and habit's are what make them valuable. You are sensitive and emotional, but you rarely let anyone see the tender side of you. You can do anything you want to and others may envy you for that, but don't let your head get too big or you won't be able to fit it through the head hole in your designer shirts. Chances are you've had things handed to you on a silver platter since you were young so you probably believe you deserve everything you get even if you don't. Just try to appreciate and be thankful for what you have every once in a while okay?
