oh hi n.. this might be very.. very long and please make yourself comfortable first yaa while reading my answer :>

i think the only person who can decide whether it’s “too much” or not is you, since you’re the one choosing to send these messages. as for me, i’m simply the one receiving them, and i’ve genuinely been enjoying our conversations so far. the thought of “this is too much” hasn’t crossed my mind even once.

and yes, i do write. i’ve always found comfort in putting my thoughts into words, especially through poetry. i also enjoy reading quite a lot. most of the books i read are either self-development or books that explore different ways of looking at life. ikigai is one that i genuinely enjoyed!

lately, though, i’ve been trying to finish the bridgerton series. i have a soft spot for period romances and stories set around royalty. reading them has also become a little exercise for me to improve my english and expand my vocabulary.. :>

since you mentioned hamlet, i should also mention that i really enjoy watching plays and theatre performances. i don’t get to watch them as often as i’d like, but i’ve always loved the feeling of seeing a story come to life on stage. i’d love to watch more whenever i get the chance!!

i suppose i made it a little obvious through my reposts, didn’t i? but yes, i think you probably understood most of what happened from those alone. thankfully, i’m doing much better now. thank you for your kindness. i really appreciated it.

really? that’s quite funny, because my parents and friends would probably describe me the same way. they often say i have very strong principles and that i’m a little stubborn too. once i’ve made up my mind or found my own way of approaching something, i tend to stick with it.

but honestly, i don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing. if anything, i think it’s quite comforting, and perhaps even something to be proud of. it means we know ourselves well enough to stand by what we believe in.

i’m not trying to say we’re exactly alike, of course, but i do think it means we’ll probably have interesting conversations and different perspectives to exchange. from what i’ve learned about you so far, our personalities don’t seem all that different. so i understand why you wanted to do things your own way, even if it might seem unusual to other people. i’m quite similar in that regard.

and thank you for saying that. i appreciate you being so clear about your intentions. sincerity is something i value a great deal, so hearing you say that gives me a little peace of mind.

as for exchanging contacts, i honestly don’t mind. i’m not very active on my x account these days anyway, so if you’d ever like to exchange another contact instead, i’d be perfectly happy to. though talking here is just as nice. i think we should simply go with whatever feels most comfortable for both of us!

as for my favorite genre… i don’t think i can settle on just one. my taste changes depending on my mood, so it’s quite varied. but i always find myself coming back to artists like the marías, tom misch, daniel caesar, and men i trust. i have a feeling that if you listened to their music, you’d probably get a pretty good sense of the kind of sound i’m naturally drawn to.

i’ll give satisfaction another proper listen tonight. i’m already familiar with both the rolling stones and the song itself, but i’ve never really sat down to appreciate it attentively. perhaps tonight is the right time.

and now i’m curious—do you have any other songs you’d recommend? i’d love to hear more of your favorites.

until next time, don’t let the bugs bite! 🐞
