I miss writing. It’s been almost five months since I left Twitter, and far longer since I’ve felt like I’ve truly scratched the itch that pushes me to write. The other night I watched Bo Burnham’s 2016 “Make Happy” comedy special, right before he stopped performing for five years, and I was utterly captivated by the themes he was exploring about art, the ability to speak truth, the relationship between performer and audience, narcissism, and self-respect. There was an obvious level of anxious tension he displayed between the platform he found himself standing on, the self-judged value of the message he was providing, and his feelings about his own need to be seen, understood, and liked.
missed you Lim! glad to see you're "back" and looking forward to reading more 🥰🙏🏾
