We all need someone to look at us. we can be divided into four categories according to the kind of look we wish to live under. the first category longs for the look of an infinite number of anonymous eyes, in other words, for the look of the public. the second category is made up of people who have a vital need to be looked at by many known eyes. they are the tireless hosts of cocktail parties and dinners. they are happier than the people in the first category, who, when they lose their public, have the feeling that the lights have gone out in the room of their lives. this happens to nearly all of them sooner or later. people in the second category, on the other hand, can always come up with the eyes they need. then there is the third category, the category of people who need to be constantly before the eyes of the person they love. their situation is as dangerous as the situation of people in the first category. one day the eyes of their beloved will close, and the room will go dark. and finally there is the fourth category, the rarest, the category of people who live in the imaginary eyes of those who are not present. they are the dreamers.

Day 27: a person you wished lived closer and why
Tie. Ashley and Missy. Girl needs her best friends, simple as that.
Feeling pulled in way too many directions right now. Is it possible to be 3 people at once? Because that’s how I’m seeing myself. Maybe even more. Not split personalities or anything, but just showing very different sides of myself. I used to be skeptical love even existed, and now I’m trying to figure out if it’s possible to love more than person at once and be fair about it. I’m really not any good at moving on.
