interview the writer
would you hug your muse?
I would hug the hell out of Blaine. Oh my god. You might need a crowbar to pry me off.
how are you and your muse alike?
Oh boy. We’re different in so many ways. I guess we have the same passion in things we love and people we care about? We’ve made some serious screw ups along the way in life but learn from them. Sometimes it just takes us a couple times. We both love some of the same hobbies. We can be cheesy and nerdy and embarrassingly dorkish occasionally. He has a lot of the same internal doubts I have? And the same process of working through them. Or not. I guess those are the biggest similarities!
describe love
I think love is unique to each person you love. But! The ultimate definition for me? It’s that feeling you get inside where that other person becomes part you because they’ve made an impact that changes a little bit of your DNA to match theirs. Without them, whatever part they become inside of you, doesn’t work right. You’re willing to learn, forgive, compromise and find new grounds for both of you and just experience the world with that person in it and see from a perspective that’s yours, theirs, and one you share together. And grow and evolve and share this weird, unplanned, unpredictable thing called life. You learn how to live a little better, a little freer, and a little bit safer knowing someone is there who sees you for you (in all your strangeness) and that’s just all they want. For you to see them and for them to see you. And for the both of you to just be. Does that make sense?
