Energic, haunted, passionate, incantatory, ironic, obsessive, earnest, pain-drenched, at once sensual and spiritual, and profoundly tender.

Of course nothing says the description is truthful.

Me on the right.

>> No.13801400

Detached, long-winded, and probably overwrought as well. I get saddened enough from reading it back to myself that I eventually grow to resent every project that is ever started.

Prosaic

>> No.13802229

Tryhard shit, at least trying, more than as might be said of a whole slew of things, prone to omission of articles, perhaps in imitation of So and So. Delighting in sentences started with of- also derivative. Meandering and arrogant, full of pride and sudden shame that announces an awareness of the self speaking. Struggling to find voice, desperately desiring admiration, striving for honesty in a hackneyed and confessional manner; occasionally beautiful by pure accident.
