also: first time a hair dresser has cut my hair too long, I could've kept going "shorter" but I felt like I wasn't quite cool enough to waste his time since this was a super hip hairdresser in Shibuya and I already felt gravely out of place

no honestly I'm the same. Everyone I know sees how hard it is for me to be moving new places all the time and insist I ought to stay somewhere/settle down etc. but I'm just as obstinate I'm like "okay, then explain to me where exactly and why?" etc. while I let time do its magic on my apathy myself

I mean I do 100% but it's like everything, proximity strengthens the friendship, distance weakens it. We keep in touch but sometimes it's few and far between each call etc. and some people just straight up drift out of one's life.

That said none of this is making me any less mentally ill, I just get to be mentally ill all over the world and be more confused about where I really belong since it's possible to find friendships in all these places yet real meaning eludes me.

Wrong. The stuff u do is art. Also I literally don't feel connected to anywhere outside of my childhood home which is now owned by different people so I can never truly go home in any sense. All the residencies I've done have been on account of comics work.

Or maybe it's not so much about the images but more about the feelings. When I have the feelings the urge to draw them out is so strong, but then they leave me by chance or by processing them differently and suddenly the urge is barely there.
