How far do you take your persona? Do you dress like them every day? Are you consistent with your personas through all social media? Do you listen to music that fits how they look? Do you pretend to be cold when you want to be nice? Do you know who you are? Are you insecure? Are you happy? Is this what you want to look like? What did you want to be as a child? Do you remember what you used to act like? Are all your friends just like you?

its weird that even tho i was the one who was super distant at first i’ll be the one who’ll still be thinking about you in a decade or more while you’ve already stopped thinking about me...i feel like even when you look at me you barely even remember my presence in your life but i still think about you every night and i have so many regrets over something that might not even have worked out
