 I didn't forget your birthday.
 
 I forgot to message you on your birthday, but I texted you two days before and
 two days after asking about it.
 
 I asked to plan something to celebrate, you didn't want to.
 
 I made you a gift and everything, that I never got to give you.
 
 I didn't forget your birthday, you forgot your friend.

 I live through the moments where I find a folder of stuff I made that I forgot
 about and I can go back and see it for the first time.

 I personally would love to have my friend's messages saved on my computer
 account. it'd be like a little time-capsule of them that I could randomly
 scroll through or maybe display a random message they sent whenever I opened a
 new terminal
 
 sorta like words, only applied to a message archive. that of a friend or loved
 one.

 I just thought your post was iconic and was made better with the full
 screenshot so you can share it if you want or keep it on your hard drive to
 find sometime in the future and be like "oh ha I remember that"
 
 I didn't keep the post, I just made it for you

 An important aspect to friendship is "loose" time together - like, at a party,
 you might interact with a dozen people, or you might spend it all with one
 special someone - but the time is "loose" you can do with it what you will.

 I'd like to apologize to everyone I've ever interacted with in the past. It
 was unfair of me to interact with you, and I will do my best to not hurt you
 again in that way.

 Rice has been eaten. I threw a cookie on-top for good measure. I think that

 I don't know who needs to hear this, but if your friend sends you a paragraph
 you don't have to respond with a paragraph.

 did you forget to be for something when you set yourself against your foe?
 
 (if my girlfriend reads this: I'm not referring to the conversation we had

 some people prepare for revolution like a boy gets ready for a party
 
 others do so like a girl packing for a weekend trip to vegas
 
 I do it like a kid who forgot the paper was due on monday in 7th period and so
 spends their entire lunch period writing it (missing 4th in the process
 because the conclusion paragraph was giving me difficulty)
 
 but I think no matter how you do it, we're all just waiting for something to
 happen.

 one of the greatest gifts LSD gave me was the ability to look in the mirror
 and see a person beyond me.
 
 your reflection has all the same emotions as you, and if you look at them like
 you'd try to parse the feelings of a friend, you can learn a bit more about
 how you're thinking.

 but they're special to me, as all people are, and I think she takes notice.

 Dear my future self: I'm sorry for all the things that I do. I hope you
 appreciate the gifts I leave you. Thank you for never giving up, and I trust
 you to take care of me and the things I care about. I'm proud of what you've
 done with me, and I'm hopeful that one day I'll be just a bit like you.

 @user-95 one of the most empathetic people I ever met on VR chat was consoling
 me with their mic off while I was oversharing about some stupid things people
 did to me in the past. things that stupid me thought were okay and actively
 encouraged because I was stupid. anyway when their mic was off their body
 language spoke for them. I'll try that next time.

 for every "I was there. I helped make it happen" we need at least a couple "I

 believe a belligerent, even if they're on the defensive.

 I don't think I've ever appreciated a notification Steam has sent me about my
 friend's playing games. If they wanted to play with me they would text me.
 
 It does, however, make me think about video games more. And seeing their name
 makes me think of them, which makes me feel closer to them without actually
 interacting. Which is kind-of an anti-behavior, like facebook stalking
 except... paying attention to what your friends are playing and when and how
 much and... not good.
 
 I know a lot of people who are permanently offline on Steam because of reasons
 like that. But, of course, they can still see everyone else, which feels like
 an anti-pattern...
