What is Authenticity?
I was having this argument on Medium with a woman I like and I can tell we are close to breaking up on Medium, but I am trying to hold on for all the silly reasons men hold on to women who do not like them and they have never met.
We are just two average writers pushing our Truths in different different directions from parts of the country, at different ages, swimming in the internet ether for a few bucks, a few laughs, a few absolutely TRUTHFUL and GRATITUDINAL moments that make us feel additionally, partly, alive parallel to what we are doing for work and sustenance to keep us alive…to help us feel we exist. People on Medium connect and fall apart just like people do in real life.

I admit I got lazy. Can’t we just talk?
In my real life I am making a grilled cheese sandwich as I am typing
