I don't usually dabble in realism - but this was a gift for someone very meaningful in my life. And some things just deserve to be painted as they are.
Why do we say âslept like a babyâ when babies literally wake up screaming every two hours?
I want to sleep like a middle-aged dad who ârests his eyesâ during a Marvel movie and wakes up refreshed, confused, and ready to barbecue.
so my apartment building got a notice board to post fire alarm tests and maintenance announcements and such. the building is pretty well-maintained, so we rarely get notices. the board is big and grey and to think it would be empty like that 99% of the time was a bland boring sin i just couldn't bear, so i vandalized the corner of its empty canvas with a teeny tiny Guy
and within a few days, there was a sudden addition from my one of my neighbors along with a Bunch of thumbtacks. this was an unexpected, but welcome surprise!
well there was still so much space, i figured i'd add another crumb to the art hoard. i'd been playing genshin that day so i drew my favorite grandpa
and like clockwork, new art manifested!! this person is gonna grow to be a great artist i know it. the detail in those stones? hell yeah that's cool.
we're two weeks into it. more neighbors have joined in with their artwork. who knew there were so many artists in my building?? we're onto somethin great here i just know it.
âthey were flirting with youâ and how was i supposed to know such a thing when everyone speaks in codes and puzzles
i finished the assignment
geometry is some next level bullshit đ

The bright-pink silhouette flickered in the front of the train leaving. Before I could scream out anything, Iâve already run out of time. She demanded promises from me, but never wanted to give me one, not even one. I was a child too; I didn't know how to do anything right too. Why do I still wear these gloves? I've long grown up, I've got no grudges, no regrets. I understand. The one who's older and keeps a calm face can't be helpless. Here's a riddle for you, a puzzle: who will you save when two people are drowning? The one who you love, or who loves you? The correct answer is, I can't swim. ⌠Art supplies broke on the floor with a loud thud; I asked, what is her surname? I checked the age again, trying to pull out memories of the year we met, the year she left, my birth year, counting the birth year of âherâ that I remember. She lied to me. No matter how much I pleaded, I could never become someone to tell the truth to. She lied to me. Even after leaving me many years ago, she's been lying to me this whole time!Â

Hey. Going out of your way that much is gross. You need to make an effort to care, for sure, but you need to make an effort to not care to this point. Text me tomorrow morning You're not sleeping. It's not the time you go to sleep at. I was busy [Quoted message] What for? 9 a.m., right? If you don't text me before that time, I'll think that you're dead. <...> I'll find you either way. Now this is a threat. Everything I tell you is supposed to be a threat. Did you forget? [Quoted message] It's not fair I really couldnât ever become someone to tell the truth to

I couldn't fall asleep all night. Well, it might be because I woke up too late, but being unable to fall asleep when I'm upset and exhausted is the most annoying. I think I'm going to suffocate. The average temperature is around 8 degrees. A fog will be occupying some areas first thing in the morning. While it's expected to be thin, itâs going to disrupt visibility. There is a high chance of rain starting around afternoon and continuing until evening. I started preparing at 7 hours 3 minutes. The weather was chilly, but because it was hard to breathe, I put on only two shirts. It happens sometimes. I need to freeze to wake up properly, or maybe it's a form of self-punishment, either way, the train station isn't too close to where I live, so I needed to have enough time. Are you seriously listening to all that? I left my house at 7 hours 16 minutes. Looking back at it, why did I take so long? I always took too long to get ready⌠That's one of my traits that made me impossible to deal withâŚÂ Maybe because a few days before it I asked you to please not leave me alone, no, it's not the way I worded it, so no wonder you hated it⌠There's too much of me, but when my presence is actually necessary, I flee from the scene... I still don't know who, when and where are appropriate, so I get myself in trouble all the time. I have no idea how to do that, even though I make my life revolve around it, I haven't learned such things to this day. 5 minutes before arriving there, I looked at my phone and saw 8 hours 13 minutes. I didn't have anyone to talk to, so I simply stared at the screen. Though my collar is unbuttoned, I keep choking, what an annoyance. You might wonder, how do you remember the time so precisely? Well, everything is possible in a dream, no? I arrived at the station at That's the honest way to put it. Might be a bit too honest? I'm tired of small talk, so I throw around love confessions. I think of getting your attention all the time, can't help it, but you can't imagine it. Hm⌠That's right. I'm the type to observe from the sidelines. Those âlove confessionsâ⌠might be too empty to make any change, I cowardly cover my face and become all alone once again⌠the time that I ran out of. At -1464 hours -87840 minutes, I suffocated.
*kisses you directly on the lips* That doesnât mean anything. *tries to walk away but my ankle rolls and i break it so now you have to put me down for ethical reasons*
