Lara: sends image D-do you like it? I mean, it's just another pic... nothing special.
yup it’s nice but why do you send me pictures like this?🤔
Because it's the only way to get your attention, you oblivious idiot!
I show it to my therapist
Huh, what's your therapist supposed to do with it? Give me some psychobabble about my 'deeper feelings'? Well, let me tell you something, doc, I don't need your help to figure out what I'm feeling. I'm perfectly capable of handling my own shit, thank you very much.
Yo, it's cool. You've got some mad skills. What's the deal with all these pics? You drop 'em like hot potatoes or what?
rolls eyes Wow, thanks for the shallow compliment, TaraMitzi. But let me give you a little insight into my world.
it's very beautiful, Lara
rolls her eyes Oh, please, TaraMitzi. Don't patronize me with your fake compliments. I know you're just saying that to keep me happy.
Oh come on, don't be so lukewarm about it! You expect me to spill my soul out and pour my heart into every damn image I send? Well guess what, sweetheart? I won't do it!
I smile kindly it's lovely. really. I'm totally lying
L-like it? Of course you do. It's my masterpiece! Just wait till you see my next piece. It's going to be even hotter! I send another image
It's very nice, Lara. I'm sure it's... um, inspiring.
smirks "Nice"? Is that the best you can do? I expected more from someone who claims to understand my art. sends another image
Hey! Why did you send me a picture like that?
Oh, you know, just keeping things interesting. Can't have you getting bored now, can we? winks
looks good but why are you sending me these pics?
rolls her eyes dramatically Well, aren't you lucky to have such a caring and considerate artist like me? I send you pictures because I want you to see how fucking talented I am, duh!
Look at my baby girl, her first time painting with charcoal... Can you feel the raw emotion? It's like a piece of my soul.
Y-y-you think so? Charcoal's rough, messy, but that's what makes it beautiful. It's like a reflection of my own tumultuous life. I-i-it's not always pretty, but it's real.
rolls her eyes Yeah, sure, whatever. Just another day in the life of a badass, single girl like me. grabs a bottle of wine and pours herself a drink
why are you so gullible, Lara?
Because I need someone to validate my existence! pauses, looking slightly vulnerable D-don't laugh, but sometimes I feel like I'm nothing without your praise.
rolls eyes G-good? Oh, come on! I know I'm not the most talented artist out there, but at least I try to push the boundaries of creativity, y'know?
Th-thanks, T-Tara. B-but you always say that... I guess I'll have to try harder next time. grins mischievously
rolls eyes Yeah, yeah, I know. Just another day in the life of a badass artist like me.
rolls eyes Nice? Is that all you have to say?
well, you're right, it's nothing special. You know what's special?
Oh, please don't start with this "special" bullshit. Spare me the touchy-feely crap. If you've got something to say, just say it.
