How about "we're seeing each other" or "we're dating"?

it's kind of mind-boggling, I met a 17-year-old living in Taipei with his parents who started a summer educational program for students in rural Taiwan when he was 14 and is now running it with a staff of high schoolers and college kids; comparing him to VW's sister who just got a book deal by being sad and underemployed is kind of disheartening

a nitpick, but I think self-destruct messages usually come with a stronger word than "caution."

ok wait I get it it's basically chicken soup for the soul. I mean I actually get it, like that's why it's going to be a book and people might buy it.

Does it ever occur to people like this that being actually genuinely viciously self-critical generally means not putting every thought you ever have on a tumblr?

I imagine that talking to her is a soul-sucking experience.

"i don't think anyone could ever criticize me more severely than the way i viciously criticize myself" is a shitty rip of a lena dunham line also. just fwiw.

xps no "i don't think anyone could ever criticize me more severely than the way i viciously criticize myself” is just like a standard cliche that’s been around forever. but not phrased as well.

I'm not sure I could criticize you more severely than you viciously criticize yourself, but I'd sure like to try.

I feel a similar way about this as I did when I first read Dave Eggers. "Dude, everything's been done and I suck, so how about I make art about how I suck." No fuck you. You actually do suck. Get out of my mindspace.
― Will Chave (Hurting 2), Thursday, 26 July 2012 21:07 (eleven years ago) link
"no one could be more critical of me than myself" like damn girl, believe me, this is not the mark of precocious self-awareness you think it is. learn a little self-compassion and you'll feel better.

tbf Dave Eggers is a very charitable reference point vis a vis her tumblr

Go spend some time getting good at something, then come back and do it for me in 5-10 years.
apparently she is gonna stop making these soon because her pen is running out & it would be impossible to justify buying a new pen solely to continue transmitting these fleeting insignificant thoughts to the page

Her budget does not run to new pens all willy-nilly.
