I love how u refurbish romance tropes like the meet-cute with this mix of high and low registers, this blend of 21st century internet bro speak vernacular with rhythmic, emotionally charged prose. Easily one of ur best, tender and with so many details (like the span of time, the reference to the 50s) that make it more than just a highly effective mood piece. Great great stuff

I’m wondering what you might think of this? I would add an attachment, but I’m not allowed too.

It’s a paper I wrote in college, it’s titled “Imaging Difference”. It’s maybe half way down my posts.

There are three parts to it.

My phone is too old, can’t access messages on here. Otherwise, I would. Shit! It let me after all.
