The Joy Scribbles

The truth is half the time we’re not telling the truth or hearing the truth or seeing the truth or feeling the truth. The truth is we’re spineless scum. We don’t like each other. We lie and we search for everything even when we know we’re nothing. We’re nothing important. You’re nothing important. Who am I to tell you that? I’m nothing. But you’re still reading this.

And you’re still here. Don’t date a writer if you’re private because she’ll write about the first time you plunged into her and describe it as a 15year old girl’s first time. When it sells, you’ll read it and know because of intimate details like the birthmark on your thigh, and your sisters will laugh because they’ve seen it before. They’ll know it’s you. You’ll always know it’s you, she writes that way so you never doubt. Don’t date a writer cause you’re not her first love. She values the world inside her head more than you, but it doesn’t mean she’ll abandon you. Ask her to invite you in. Ask her to show you, through ...
