I sleep better with someone next to me


it’s just a fact. A human, breathing presence is the only thing that convince me to get off the internet, stop doing writing, not smoke that last cigarette, and decide that I can hold off eating until tomorrow. I thought a puppy would help, but she’s attuned herself to my natural rhythms of not giving a shit. But I don’t want to be attached to anyone (yet! give me a bit! i’m sure there is someone perfectly nice for me to obsess over but it’s been a couple months now and the pickings are winter-slim) so I’m thinking about getting one of those human-sized body pillows? And then putting a wave noise machine in it and sewing it into where the heart would be? PERFECT BOYFRIEND right there. Oh god, how quickly I can turn from 4:00 am quirky to 4:30 am “it puts the lotion on its skin.”
