I don’t really know what this one is either but I devoured it, thank you! As for the subject ranking, I’d put Art as closest to the truth. Every time.

Haha thank u :) + that's an interesting way to interpret truth it rlly does come down to the way we define words + language sometimes

So deep, and relevant. What is truth really? If we have a truth and call it feelings, is it still truth? Maybe there is a black hole of truth out there that draws all of the inconvenient and otherwise uncomfortable truth we like to avoid. Wow, thank you.

Thank you so much for reading :) + it's so fun to think abt bc u can argue there's a degree of truth to feelings but then we have to start thinking abt what it means for something to be more true vs less true... thank u for commenting too!!

Yes! And how others perceive or validate your feelings.

wenyi, i am always left here in the trenches after reading a new post of yours. And this time it is not different in only that i am now a sobbing mess and i don’t know what beautifully crafted sentence of yours that started it. But i KNOW it’s all of it

“But when he says I am kind enough to be loved, I think I understand why physicists are so desperate to be the first to discover something new. I write: I think you know me in a way I want to be known.”

Mind you this is only my second impression of your work. I can’t believe I’m crying over this right before I meant to go to bed. Scratch that. I fully believe this made me cry right before going to bed. I’m still crying.

wenyi xue's avatar

Ahh thank you so so much <3 it's only fair bc I cried while writing this too
