~essentially a rant abt a pet peeve~
To me the act of smoking cigs if ur not already addicted to cigs is wildly goofy…
*the obvious :they’re addictive and a money pit
*the look: it can be painful watching someone bum a cig from me and A) puff at it/ theyre clearly in pain B) they light it and effectively let it burn away C) throwing half a cig on the ground
*vibe: I know one girl who will always ask to bum at parties which would be and recently she started buying her own SHE WILL NEVER SHARE W ME AND SHE DOESNT EVEN ACTUALLY SMOKE very much the kind of person who lights a cig just to take an aesthetic photo with their coffee or a cocktail and their brand new copy of The Prophet
not good for your health but good for your soul. meeting up outside after my shift and this one guy wordlessly offering me his lit cigarette because he knows. we are connecting and it’s the ‘casual intimacy of sharing something that touches your lips’ or what have you
