    I’m told by a close friend to go explore my interests in order to better pursue my own dreams and happiness. That’s what they did and it’s worked out great.

    I tell them about that stuff in my own life updating them on me and suddenly it’s deemed as escapist and childish.

    Guess I gotta do what interests them not me. Does so. They’re happy for a second.

    But that’s being subservient unless I express genuine interest. But if I do then I’m just interested because of them.

    What the fuck.
