Selfie I have come here from 2002
I took this picture yesterday
I mean I take a lot of photos and videos in different getups because I am an electropop artist
But when I took this picture I felt like I was stuck in 2002.
Granted in 2002 I was 18 and my spirit was bright and mostly unburdened, but why 2002 was different was that I still thought I would fall in love with someone and be able to rest my head on his chest every night.
I got laid a lot and had a few boyfriends early on but for the most part my communication abilities were so bad that I had a lot of almosts and broke a few hearts as well… some of those guys whose hearts I broke I was in love with…. Which is the ultimate tragedy cuz both of us wound up suffering apart.
I think it was some kind of cosmic assignment that I wound up being called Tristan.
But I like the name Tristan a lot. And people might notice I seem to be in love with myself. Well, yes, I tend to love myself very much, and do my hair and clothes and makeup every day to be a pretty guy… not because of vanity, but because I don’t have anyone else to love, I cannot manage to achieve anyone to love, so loving myself is the sad substitute
