What Do Celestial Bodies Do?

what do celestial bodies do?

they orbit, but on occasion, they collide in a symphony of chaos and beauty. a catastrophic genesis of a new reality.

delusional wannabe author

i have deluded myself into believing that scrolling through Pinterest, in the ambience of soft lighting, in the hours past midnight, accompanied by iced shaken espressos is equivalent to the act of writing

yet somehow, i awaken, surprised and mostly disappointed that my writing projects have not grown

alone alone alone alone alone alone alone alone alone alone alone alone alone alone

It’s sickening.

fav trope (if it even counts as one):

the nerd v. jock, brain v. flesh, beau v. smarts dynamic

in which one tries to impress the other by reading up on stated favorite literature or research on area of interest/specialty. then they try to candidly weave in what they've learned during conversation, only to accidentally misuse field lingo.

at which point the smarts character blushes, smirks, recognizing the flesh character had been declaring their interest in their own subtle way; paying attention.

"she's just so smart. i can't help but get all nervous around her. i worry i'll say something stupid and she won't think i'm cool anymore."

I’ll be like “It’s only light flirting” and then they are all I think about, both consciously and otherwise.
