feeling called out today

i haaaate when iris by the goo goo dolls comes in when i’m in a store how am i supposed to act normal when you can’t fight the tears that ain’t comin or the moment of truth in your lies when everything feels like the movies yeah you bleed just to know you’re alive

some of my favorite fake scenarios and tropes!!

half of these involve secret dating, and i could probably write a whole other post on it. help me.

- person a showing person b their favorite song/artist and freaking out when they enjoy it

- eye contact from across a room (especially in social settings)

- person c (who doesn’t know person a and person b are together) points out how cute they would be, and person a and person b laugh knowingly but look away in an attempt to hide their expression, with person c left all confused.

- mutual pining: the classic “one is head over heels in love but the other is teaching them to do something and they are only focusing on them, not the task at hand”

- or, in the realm of mutual pining: two people who are so clearly into each other being put into a space together alone, and a confession ensues. especially on floors at parties? for some reason?

- two members of a band dating and keeping it a secret from the public (or secret dating in general, toxic trait much?)

- two exes who are still very much in love with each other having to room together (not by choice) on a trip of some sort... one bed trope ensues... second chances?! (#makesecondchanceromanceshealthyforonceplsandty)

- making dinner together and being all cute and person a drags person b to the living room to dance to some cheesy music, and person b isn’t really into it at first but slowly starts loving it

should i make a part two?

i will defend improvised storytelling till the day i fucking die i think stories told by people under pressure to do it fast, stories told in collaboration…. that shits gorgeous and ALIVE. have you ever gone to a writing workshop and someone writes the rawest shit in the entire world during a ten minute free write? playing dnd and some dialogue is so moving it makes you wonder how it came from your dumbass friends? got really into one of those ‘one sentence at a time’ campfire story games and ended up making something— totally unrecorded, lost except to the people who were there— that should have been in the fucking moma?

people are full to the BRIM with stories and honing that storytelling into a specific practice (ex. writing) is for sure a learned skill that takes tons of practice to do effectively but…… it’s there. it’s there and anyone can tap into it if they’re given opportunity and an audience to say it to.

look, the point of telling stories is to connect with other people. and all we’ve ever done throughout human history is connect connect connect so is it any wonder when you put a human being in front of an outlet and you say ‘tell me a story’, no one stays silent? 

first draft/attempt at tension

(this is new, please use constructive criticism)

She stared longingly at his lips from across the room. Her stomach was aflutter, her heart was racing and her head? Spinning. She needed his lips on hers. It was a desire so deep in her chest that she couldn’t bear to even look at him. She gazed at his lips anyway. She couldn’t keep her mind on her work. I mean, it’s an unlikely event when he was right there. He was deep in thought, tapping his pen on the desk in their bedroom. She was working on the bed with her space-grey MacBook on her lap. He bites his lip in concentration, making her desire intensify. He looks up, somewhat confused, and smiles. He’s looking at her. Her heart stops. Her cheeks glow red. He just caught her staring, and there’s nothing she can do about it.  

“What?” He says, looking at her with his dark brown eyes. 

“Nothing” She responds, looking away.
