ugh write kelsey
stop letting yourself
get distracted
you need to
appear less eager
maybe take
a few minutes
before responding
but i know
you can’t help it
because your mind
fires at a million miles an hour
whenever you’re talking
to someone who really
challenges you
there it is again
that phrase
that phrase that
has defined
so much
of this relationship
all because you
challenge each other
is that the secret
do you have
a favorite artist
like if someone asks you
what would you say
like
fuck i need to
learn about art
if someone asks me who
my favorite impressionist is
i would definitely be like
umm
remind me who
those guys were
i can’t with
this year
i’m already overwhelmed
bye
over it
in the fault in our stars
they say
falling in love is like falling asleep
slowly and then all at once
well
if that’s falling in love
then i’m doing everything in my power
to stay awake
i am kicking
and screaming
and slamming espresso like there’s no tomorrow
because i cannot fall asleep
i’m too smart to fall asleep
i hated falling asleep
when i was a little baby
i would kick
and scream
and work myself up into such a fit
that i’d eventually pass out
from sheer exhaustion
i did this
every night
for at least
my first two years of existence
true story
you can ask my dad
stay awake kels
will this be
the real challenge
