every relationship is either a soft shell or hard shell fruit

  • soft shell, soft inside - fuyu persimmons - burst at the seams
    • aka you make me feel so much and i feel so close to you i will literally overflow with conversation
    • raspberries - the most tender fruit that still needs to be hand-picked
  • hard shell, soft inside - pomegranates
    • harder to crack, but when it opens its jolting and surprising
    • bananas - also burst at the open, but the hard shell makes it mushy and leak out weirdly
      • regardless of a hard shell, if my feelings are left to rot inside, they will inevitably spill out
      • i am embarassed when i hold in my emotions too long and they inevitably ooze out

forgive me, the mess i reveal of myself at ripening.
