[00:17.933]January 1st, 2018 [00:21.904]I'm writing you now, Annika Norlin [00:25.822]From the remnants of a New Year's Eve [00:30.628]The fog that slithers through the streets [00:35.252]I'm trying to remember how [00:39.510]You made friends when you were young [00:43.951]What were those friendships based on [00:48.366]And what made them so strong? [00:55.262]Francisco was my first friend [00:59.598]He lived 'round the bend in my neighborhood [01:04.013]He came up one day and asked, "Are you a turd?" [01:08.375]I said I was not, he said, "Then you're good" [01:12.660]He had post traumatic memories [01:17.388]I didn't have any friends [01:21.802]We based our friendship on our non-turdness [01:25.930]At the time, it just made sense [01:32.983]Remember the first time that we met? [01:37.293]That fall in New York that I want to forget [01:41.812]You asked if someone had a show for your band [01:45.887]I surprised myself when I reached out a hand [01:50.302]I was feeling so alone back then [01:55.004]Vulnerable and heartbroken [01:59.184]Despite that people used to call my name [02:03.546]As I stepped off the Q train [02:08.222]As I stepped off the Q train [02:28.624]I joined a program where you meet refugees [02:32.594]To feel a bit better 'bout myself honestly [02:36.931]I met Nazir, once a week [02:41.424]And we ended up good friends eventually [02:45.525]He said, "Thanks for taking the time to meet.lt's really nice of you" [02:54.563]And I wondered who should be thankful to who [02:59.213]And who really needed who [03:03.784]Who really needed who [03:14.991]lt's a miserable, sad and lonely life [03:19.510]You're a slave to your fears and then you die [03:24.264]Once in a while the skin becomes thin [03:28.679]You stand there by the door saying, "Can I comein?" [03:33.564]l just want someone to talk to [03:38.449]Well, maybe not just anyone [03:43.517]I've always liked what goes on in your brain [03:48.036]So would you like to correspond?
