  • Whenever you find such a person, hold on to them.

    In most relationships, I have some role to play, someone’s expectation to meet or whatever strings attached.

    There’s this one person though that I can only describe as a soul bestie.

    We can communicate without speaking.
    I need to explain things to normal people, whereas we can just be on the same wavelength and connect, so much so that the line between the self and the other sometimes seems a blur.

    We can simply be… raw and without concern.
    It’s not that we see each other as perfect, that’s just dumb, we are well aware of the quirks and flaws, yet we see each other and we simply accept who we are.

    It’s a feeling that I sincerely wish for all people to experience.







  • Do we know of it’s specific to this microwave, or just something that happens to be grounded?
    Is it just a static shock or something a bit more spicy?

    Grounded things that would discharge static:

    • The screw that holds the face plate over an electrical outlet.
    • a metal PC case

    I’m trying to understand if you’re

    1. accumulating static charge and discharging it by touching something that’s grounded.
      Or
    2. if your microwave is defective, leaking current on the chassis and you become the ground when you touch it.

    You mentioning you’re barefoot, kinda maybe point to #2, which isn’t fun (or safe).

    I imagine neither would happen wearing shoes, but I dislike shoes in my own house.
