I'm Normal About The Magnus Archives

everything is all too much sometimes

Passage from The Magnus Archives

[Thanks Ruth]

* * * * “The secrets of evolution are death and time—the deaths of enormous numbers of lifeforms that were imperfectly adapted to the environment; and time for a long succession of small mutations.” ― Carl Sagan, Cosmos

Bernhard Schlink, The Reader (translated by Carol Brown Janeway)

I say this with the utmost sincerity, but I hope you have the courage and space and freedom in the upcoming year to be the nasty little freak that you are. I hope you can find a place to realize that the things you think make you unlovable and disgusting are in fact very lovable and not disgusting in any way. I hope you find sincerity beyond your ability to even comprehend.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I thought I was fine.

I thought I could handle this but I can't.
