confession:
whenever someone new tells me they love me it feels like success, because I can count one more person who will care when I die.
it's not that I want people I care for to suffer, but I'm so deeply scared of people not knowing me/caring when I'm gone, that it offers a comfort to me.
it's always one of the first things I think, like ticking off a little box on an ever-expanding rsvp list. even if they grow to hate me later, I figure they'll still turn up to get some closure. 🫢
