Hi. Welcome to Seattle, etc.
Now that you’ve been here for some period of time that is more than a week and less than a year, there’s something you should know: The emotional intelligence of the city you have chosen for your new home is fucked.
The “we” that is currently processing your application will cancel plans without notice and never speak to you again if you complain. It will talk shit about you behind your back while being nothing but warm to your face. It will ignore your texts for months and then send you one that’s like “Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, we need to hang out it’s been too long.” It will promise to come to your show and forget all about it before their coffee is cool enough to sip. It will borrow the shirt you like. It will not return it. It will fuck your boy/girlfriend immediately after and possibly long before your relationship ends. And it will do all of these things while swearing on all it holds sacred that friendship is the most important thing in the world…
