Tag: night in the woods

Just because that online test said that your best chance at being happy is a situation where everyone already likes you, but they mostly leave you alone except when they’re delivering food to you… that doesn’t mean you can hide in your room and wait for that to happen. That’s how hermits are made, Mae. And they die alone in the middle of winter. Waiting for pizza from friends they don’t want to see.

Do you know why I beat down Andy Cullen six years ago? I was really into this video game. Played it like 24-7. Until this one afternoon, and suddenly, like, something broke. It was just like…pixels. The characters onscreen…they weren’t people anymore. They were just shapes. And that realization dumped out of the screen and into real life. The tree out front, I looked at it every day, it was like a friend outside the window. Now it was just a thing that was there. Growing and eating and just being there. Like all the stuff I felt about the tree was just in my head. And there was some guy walking by, and he was just shapes. Just like this moving bulk of…stuff. And I cried because nothing was there for me anymore. It was all just stuff. Stuff in the universe. Just…dead.
