To me, Twitter often feels like shouting things into a two-way mirror that I know has people behind it, maybe even people I know, and they are definitely listening, but mostly remain perfectly silent.

For reasons that I don't fully understand, Twitter is a place where I don't feel ashamed to say my most shameful thoughts.

I often get asked by people 'Is your Twitter real?' and things of that nature. I'm never sure how to respond to that. My Twitter account is completely 'real' in that everything I tweet is something I have earnestly thought or something that has actually happened to me.

I often tweet things that I would feel too horrified/embarrassed/ashamed to say to a friend or loved one, even though most of my friends and loved ones read my Twitter account.

I really like when people do 'stream of consciousness' tweeting, or when people's tweets come across as sort of manic and mostly unedited.

I will sometimes post tweets that are about a specific person or people, in which case I will imagine the people I am tweeting about to be my audience.

I feel comfortable tweeting things that I would never feel comfortable saying in a real life conversation, or even in other places on the internet.

I think my most shameful thoughts are the things people relate to the most, because everyone has questionable thoughts sometimes, and it's easy to feel incredibly alienated and lonely when you feel like nobody else is having those thoughts too.

In the space between our bodies there is a cup holder filled with pennies a distance which can often take years to cross.
