Dude Wearing a VR Headset at the Rec Center
When they say vulnerability is ****,
I always feel awkward about wanting to argue the contrary.
I tell people I'm a hipster before I'll ever admit to being a poet.
Seems like a less pretentious compromise.
I can handle being disliked for my personality-type better than being loathed for my hobbies.
Self-centered hedonism is a good defense mechanism against social awkwardness.
The people who are always so adamant about not giving a **** always trip me up.
If you really didn't, why are you trying so hard to project that narrative?
The people who really don't give a **** are so preoccupied with escapism to even recognize the social consequences.
Those are my people.
That's a lie. My people are the ones watching it all go down, only to spew out scattered thoughts about it later that night.
