about

Hello dear listeners and welcome to Surprise.
As we all have unfortunately experienced, this pandemic and resulting never-ending quarantines really ebb away at our psyches. Like A Lazy Aristocrat, I find myself ALWAYS sitting down. And my mind keeps wandering to moments of dejection, like when I saw my last ex on the street and he didn't recognize his Previous Her. The days at home wear on, especially since Montreal has had an 8 pm curfew for months. At times I feel like I Can't (Even) deal - let us out into the streets! So I can stop sitting and thinking about past relationships and how the things I didn't like blur with the things I used to do--I ask myself and my former desperate lovers, Was It Fear That Made U Fight? And now, should we just Give It Up? I regret that my last girlfriend was in eleventh grade, and all we did was hold hands; Hey Lady, I wanna show you a goddess time.
Comedy helps to soften the ennui, and one of my favourites is Tiffany Haddish. I would never lie to her. Rewatching The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt has also helped, and reminded me to try something for 10 Seconds and see how I feel. Even if more often than not these days I feel like "why should I try?". But after casting out my query into the void, all that ever comes back is Srsly, Why Not?
I feel like that answer extends into the fashion world, especially on instagram, where more and more avant garde looks are happening. I really like the lines being blurred between Beauty and Mutation. In these online communities, one hopes to find a Safe Place.
Alexander Pope once wrote that "to err is human, but to forgive, divine." I've always liked that. Maybe it's the christian upbringing in me. My mom used to tell me that I could control the candles with my eyes and mind in church, and that made church fun. Thank goddess for paganism. Maybe she thought she was lying, but I believed her. You know, Life's Complicated, But Lying, Lying is easy.
