the art of human connection (learning how 2 dance)

dont u love meeting someone new? having all the neurons connect faster than ever... filling up all the infoholes in ur brain with new little tidbits writing and rewriting like water rushing through a dense, branching pathway of pipes, or a brute force password hack finding the correct combination, or solving each step of a rubiks cube... when their voice cements itself in ur mind and u can finally make them say things to u in ur head that u wish they would say irl... love and friendship. so tender

dont u love learning the things that make them laugh, the dialect that u must speak in in order to be tuned into the same exact frequency... u will know when ur there because ur waves will be perfectly in phase, no longer dissonant, just one pure tone that pierces like a laser through each of ur hearts and bounces off every satellite back into earths atmosphere, adding another loveparticle to the worlds zeitgeist

even learning what to avoid, the spots where fresh wounds still lie, and some scars not yet fully healed, which words land with a little too much weight, is fun. learning the steps of the choreography and where to tiptoe, is just as much of a part of the perfomance as knowing when to join ur hands together, and when to take them for a spin

and every second u are both logged onto each others minds is adding to ur shared katamari ball, with all ur hopes, dreams, fears, traumas, preferences, mannerisms, all glued together a little sloppily (but it does the job), and it keeps growing and growing and growing

the loading bar slowly fills up and it never ever quite finishes, the volcano never quite erupts, the flower never quite blooms. but there would be no game with no goal. it is meant to motivate u

enjoy the time u have and hug the people who deserve it
