It takes skill, to balance all these Weirdos’ needs! And how do I get more skilled at anything, DR? I practice. I practice a sh#t ton… until I am happy with the results.
But it always pings My SB when I see Other People out in this World – other Human Beings – pulling out all the stops to Plant Seeds. To change the perspective of OP. To “open One’s mind” to the Possibilities.
These are My Soulmates. The criteria for this label, for Me personally? If You, DR – by whatever Your actions or whatever Your words – can give Me [N: My SB, PASSION, specifically] the much-desired ‘dopamine jolts’? Then congrats! We (You & Me) are both “on the same wavelength.”
[N: seriously, it feels just like an orgasm in My SB to Me loll]
One Conceptual Other Person on this List for Me? This punk-@$$ Kid: Noah. And His Bestie… Cheetah. [N: Insta handle goodboy.noah] Note: I perceive Noah as ‘Conceptual’ to Me, not because He’s not a living, breathing IRL Person, but because I am not physically Connected with Him in My IRL-Life. I could be – in another multiverse – but not the one I’m in, in Current Day.
I think – the first Reel I ever watched from Noah & Cheetah – was shared with Me by Another Person in My Herd. And at that Meet Cute? It was Love at First Sight. Now? I will always put My Life on pause – set down TECH’s constant & never-ending To-Do List – to give PASSION a few hits of that dopamine bong.
The Reel that inspired Me to scurry over here & post this Story? Cinco de Mayo, Baby!
Here’s TDiiTD: the date is when I watched this Reel, not technically when Noah posted it to Insta. [N: that’s actually 3 days prior] It’s the Reel about making Hot Pockets from scratch.
Specifically? Here’s what hooked My SB: the line about Diddy.
This one piece of data got slid in there – silently, like an underwater sea monster or a missile shot from an enemy battleship – while PASSION was completely distracted by the visuals, the catchy music, etc. etc. F#cking genius, if You ask Me.
Okay okay! TECH’s calling it: “Noah, Dude? You Are A Visionary. Truly.”
That’s how I think of You in My Own SB, anyways. Now, I can guess that I’m not the only one who thinks this, or feels this way… But TBH? I care less about what Anybody Else thinks.
“I only care about Myself, right? Isn’t that the Rule?”

Conner’s Comments: And You, DR? Reading this Story right this second? You are the Exception to the Rule. *mental grenade explodes*
