this is so well-written. i also hate how tied i am to the internet, and here i am with a substack feeling validated in some way because i write things and people read them, but why do i have this longing to be seen and liked by strangers?

Such an irony that I feel like I‘m fulfilling that parasocial receiver role right now!! I‘m always waiting for your next essays, always excited once they’re published, and each time I‘m shocked at how you manage to put my exact same thoughts and experiences into words to the point I end up wondering if that person on the other side of the hemisphere is living the same life as me, even though I don‘t know you. But I‘m so happy I get the chance to explore your beautiful writing, I think it‘s super alluring and unique, your style truly impresses me! Once I marry rich I‘m absolutely sponsoring your book of essays lmao
