  • Mozart died broke in 1850. He was a genius, the greatest musician who ever lived. No one learned how brilliant he was until people studied his work for centuries. Now we realize that his contributions weren’t just pleasing, acceptable, they were profound. They weren’t constrained by the rigid laws of classical music, they filled them. He took strict rules and made them beautiful. He was a master of his craft.

    You are a mozart @Trollivier@sh.itjust.works. I see you. I hope historians look at your work centuries from now and realize that they are beholding ai-generated perfection.










  • You did escape it.

    I don’t know any long-term couples who have not been cheated on. Straight people especially.

    As a culture we are expected to find a partner, and feel like failures if we don’t.

    Because people are fucking idiots.

    As a culture we used to expect angry people to use leeches to remove blood, or perform exorcisms on people that were mentally ill.

    Fuck those expectations. Cultural attitudes can be wrong.

    You didn’t fail, you avoided anguish. Being single is far, far better than being stuck with someone because you felt like you had to.
