A few times I would see a post that sounded like me, but then I realized I wasn't wearing a yellow hat, or I was not reading Kerouac. One day I was on the long and crowded train home, waiting for someone to fall in love with me, when I saw someone across from me reading one of my plays, and I decided that this was enough, this was the right kind and right amount of love that I needed, and I think it was then that I stopped checking.
