I'm not just talking about an attraction, holding a little flame for someone, not even simply caring for someone, but a connection that only comes from a deeper understanding.

My trend tends to be that I develop really intense but short-lived feelings for people. It's a very shallow way of going about things, which is why I typically avoid relationships. I lose interest easily and become bored, and then withdraw and can't understand why I've upset the other person. But I don't think that's love. I don't think it's even lust or a genuine
like for people, in fact at times I think I've been spoiled by that deep connection that I have felt, because I just can't be bothered dealing with anything less.

Yes, this precisely. I don't feel that I'm missing out on anything at the moment, it's not something I long for, but when and if it does happen I'll appreciate and devour it. I've always said I'm not looking for someone to complete me; I'm looking for an equally complete person to have beside me.

I've never done that.

The narrations were largely similar to the style of this journal - I would talk between tracks about why I choose the songs I did and what I hoped the other person would get from them.

That's exactly what happened, and that's what I'm doing with each of the tracks from the EP. Cheers, thanks for reading.
