hope can be such a fickle thing

ive lived my life without it for years and it chooses now of all times to barrel its way back in
but none of that makes it fit in the environment
its only like an ice cube trying to enjoy a summers day

even when im staring at it in front of me i cant seem to conquer the idea that it isnt mine
that im not the one who gets a happy ending its only being borrowed from someone else
another me from another timeline who things progressed more happily for
another me who could look at this and actually feel like shes earned it

i dont know what to do with this feeling
except to know its made a fool of me

im going to be a mother after all

ive known too many humans to trust any example they give as "tall"

[dicktate]

well he is still a baby but when he is fully grown he will be even taller and handsomer than now

[glowsferatu]

and how tall are you exactly

[ I mean, he said it himself, he's small. ]

[dicktate]

i am very manly

[ There's lifts in all his shoes. ]

[glowsferatu]

and im both the most feminine and the tallest woman i know
at the same time
but how manly you are isnt what i asked

[dicktate]

with or without shoes

[glowsferatu]

i typically wear flats

[dicktate]

how tall are you

[glowsferatu]

i asked first

[dicktate]

is this important

[glowsferatu]

i will need your measurements if im going to work on your clothes

[dicktate]

[ Argh!! ]

180cm

[ Yeah, okay. ]

[glowsferatu]

i thought you said you were small

[dicktate]

172cm

[glowsferatu]

that isnt too terrible
only a bit below average
i mean im only 11 centimeters taller

[dicktate]

you are right it's the perfect height to be
but my junseo is only a little smaller than you and he is 16

[glowsferatu]

you say that as if you expect me to be ancient by comparison
im only 18

[dicktate]

you are very young

[ Not what you want in a master seamstress. How can a child tailor his clothes properly?! ]

[glowsferatu]

[ Only two things she's been learning her whole life, how to be a mother and how to do clothes. Everything else came after. ]

but im very old for my age

[dicktate]

is that something your mommy told you

[ Because she's a kid, and that's clearly something a kid would believe. ]

[glowsferatu]

[ Those three years are an eternity. ]

my "mommy" was a thirty-foot tall moth
and i was much younger when i started providing for myself and others
dont underestimate me because of my age

[dicktate]

[ Oookay... She sounds high, but he needs a tailor, and the one that lives on his street is ugly, fat, and old. ]

okay then i will give you a chance and if i am happy then you are my personal tailor
if not i will go and you will never see me again
and that will be a shame for you because i am very beautiful

[glowsferatu]

i believe that fact has been noted already for the record
but the only shame i think is likely will occur should you not be happy
because my work is brilliant and if you arent happy it will be your own fault

[dicktate]

oooh you are confident i like you
okay i will hire you you are my tailor

[glowsferatu]

good
we will set up an appointment so i can take your measurements and determine what exact work youll need done
which city are you located in
