Purpose-built for wrong

thousands are sailing
the same self the only self

self willed the peril of a thousand fates

a line of infinite ends finite finishing
the one remains oblique and pure

arching to the single point of
consciousness

find yourself
starting back

This is a hang-up I realized I have that I don't think I've ever seen anyone else express, even as someone who spent a lot of time on Tumblr while it was still thriving.

I do not like sending anonymous messages to people, like at all. I don't even mean the idea of sending someone "anon hate", which of course is utterly repulsive, I just mean that I cannot bring myself to send someone even a positive anonymous message, on Curiouscat or Retrospring or through Tumblr's own built-in ask system. Something about the idea just feels wrong to me. It feels like crossing a line, somehow?

I think in all my time online I have managed to send one singular anonymous message to someone on Curiouscat, which was just to tell an artist that I really like their original characters. I've never done it before or since. I dunno, it just feels weird.
