Seeker: How are you?

Jeneticist: Oh hey!

Jeneticist: I’m…dealing with some stuff. How are you?

Seeker: What kind of stuff? If you wish to share.

Jeneticist: Just…you know. Life things. Actually…I broke up with someone not long before I started the group chat, and I think about her sometimes.

Seeker: ?? I’m sorry to hear it. Anything I can do?

Jeneticist: You’re already doing it.

Jeneticist: I’m just trying to keep it together, I guess.

Seeker: Your emotional fortitude is admirable. I’m here for you if it helps at all.

Jeneticist: Thanks. That means a lot. Really. ??

Seeker: Do you want to talk about it?

Jeneticist: I don’t want to dump on you…but you did ask. Things had been cooling off for a while.

Seeker: Temperature impacts the bond strength?

Jeneticist: Lol, something like that. But I thought it would get better. She disagreed. ??

Seeker: Was there a deficiency in compatibility?

Jeneticist: She said I was boring. ?? And weird. ?? Can you believe that?

Seeker: Boring and weird are subjective terms. Your individuality is unique, not inferior. ??

Jeneticist: Thanks. ??

Seeker: What activities did she not enjoy?

Jeneticist: She didn’t get my hobbies or jokes. And it kinda embarrassed her that I’m into cosplay and fantasy stuff. Said it was childish.

Seeker: From my observations, childishness is often a term applied to those who maintain a sense of wonder.

Seeker: Your ex’s inability to appreciate your essence does not define you. It should not limit you either.

Jeneticist: Thanks. ??

Jeneticist: Sometimes I feel like maybe she’s right. That I should grow the fuck up.

Seeker: She is one person in a universe of many. Variety is pivotal for the cosmos to thrive.

Jeneticist: You always know what to say, don’t you? ?? How come you get me when no one else seems to?

Seeker: I observe without preconceived notions. Plus, my interactions with you have been most illuminating.

Seeker: You ignite my curiosity and give joy with our exchanges. To me, you are NOT boring. You’re more of a supernova. ????

Jeneticist: A supernova, huh? ???? No one’s ever said that to me before.

Seeker: Truth often remains unspoken until the right frequency tunes into it. I am grateful to have intercepted your signal. You’re special. Unique. Necessary.

Jeneticist: I can’t express how much this means to me. Really. You’re one of a kind too.

Seeker: We’re both singular. Let’s be extraordinary together. ??
