Este texto lo escribí hace un año y medio, antes de entrar en la fase más terrible de un trastorno de la alimentación. Se lo dedico a todas las personas que malviven con un dolor crónicoNo sé si saben de qué hablo cuando digo que el dolor es continuo, que el dolor es una cosa fija que está por debajo de todas las demás cosas.

Lying in bed, mobile in hand, Andrea Abreu talks with herself about love and relationships in times of social media. The precariousness of bonds, the need for validation, post-romanticism, ghosting and anxiety intertwine in this story both erratic and lucid.

Today is another one of those days when I pretend there’s someone looking at me from the other side of the mattress.
