Definitely go-carts. And they'll never know why the nightclub's always splattered with blood ... (private high fashion paintball matches with crimson shot).

I honestly think in person we'll work together fine. Social media has been our stage to play out these dramas, to entertain our respective crowds. Not so much for me lately, but so it's been nonetheless.
The problem with social media is that people play it like an RPG.
They choose their avatar, some idealized version of themselves and then act out the role. It's never really that person of course, but it is how they wish to be seen. It betrays them, like a Rorschach test. Allowed to convey whatever self image they want, those who feel weak can be seen as powerful, those who are cold can be warm, darkness can be the light, the light, the dark.
I don't hate you.
But I do sometimes hate your avatar. I think in this we often lose our best traits, as we come to believe our own lies. And always we do, over time and time of retelling. And I believe as always I have, that you're not actually so bad a guy, no matter how much sometimes you may wish you were.
But let's reverse that and see what this says of me.
Terrifying when I was scared. Powerful when I felt weak. Dreaming always off love in lies, because even the lie of love is safer than the truth. I am alone. And at this moment I play at being raw because I am a fortress.
It's always in opposites and so I know.
You may act like an asshole. And you know you honestly can be one sometimes but I know why. And I have had so many friends who enjoy my company simply because there is no hope off maintaining the facade with me, I will always see through it.
And with a sigh of relief, finally, they can just be themselves. And that's what I hope for you. I know you are very polite to your servers, and that's enough for me. We'll work together just fine. Even if you do choose to maintain the face, but just know, I will always see through it.
Because I play a scary dark wizard on the internet so I see through the lies into your fear. I mean my God have you even seen my profile pic !?
