Desperate for a followup diary from the icon who insta-dumped this weeks NY mag sex diarist after realizing he was cringey and pretentious

DAY THREE 

4:08 a.m. I wake up mad early because I love my corner of the city when it’s finally quiet out. I prop open a notebook and capture some stray thoughts.

I’m a Pisces artist writer boy. Which means I’m a 36-year-old 6-year-old whose eyes spill like the ocean over things that do not warrant such reactions. And I fucking love writing it all down.
During a break, we talk about art and freedom and sex and love, and she bristles at my use of the word “normie.” A conversation about artists versus non-artists follows. The moment feels off. It rattles something in me I try to ignore. We eat peaches in her kitchen, naked, but for the first time at our parting, there’s no kiss good-bye.

"We eat peaches in her kitchen, naked..." Sorry that's weirdo behavior

If he were 10 years older, I'd swear this is one of the many exhausting guys I dated back when I lived in NYC.

"We eat peaches in her kitchen, naked" I don't know if this is more upsetting as a euphemism or a direct accounting of the event

It’s people like this who give the rest of us Pisces a bad name.

I can't imagine writing that tiresomely at 36.

Where the delusions begin: "I think of myself primarily as a horror writer. (I have a newsletter in that genre.)" Then you are not a horror writer. You are a blogger.
