I want a named, holy thing to fuck my brains out, to turn my need to be filled up and spread out and hungry into some kind of Grace.

I want to cuss my lover’s name in ecstasy and have it be the prayer I always hoped it was

“I just want to be kind in a world that isn’t”

When Jaun Elia wrote:

'کیا ستم ہے کہ اب تری صورت

غور کرنے پہ یاد آتی ہے'

And when Taylor Swift said:

'And though I can't recall your face

I still got love for you'

I realised that sometimes even if our brain wipes out some people from our memories...the love we have for them still remains intact in our hearts...

Vladimir Mayakovsky, Volodya: Selected Works; from ‘I love’, tr. George Reavey

Be who you are, even if it kills you.

It will. Over and over again, Even as you live.

Break my heart, why don’t you?

wheres that quote from a letter melville wrote to hawthrone that always manages to makes me insane

(Favourite female characters: Holly Golightly.)

Yes, I think that she was aromantic or at least in the aro spectrum. She was only with the man at the end of story, because it was 1959 and her character was kind of problematic itself. I love her so much. She is endearing and while a traumatised character, Holly was goofy and perceptive enough.

Grown men preying on young women:

‘If I was some paint did I splatter on a promising grown man? If I was a child did it matter that you got to wash your hands?’ - Taylor Swift, Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve

Tell Me Something Good, Ocean Vuong

I was once foolish enough to believe knowledge would clarify, but some things are so gauzed behind layers of syntax and semantics, behind days and hours, names forgotten, salvaged and shed, that simply knowing the wound exists does nothing to reveal it.

I don’t know what I’m saying. I guess what I mean is that sometimes I don’t know what or who we are. Days I feel like a human being, while other days I feel more like a sound. I touch the world not as myself but as an echo of who I was. Can you hear me yet? Can you read me?

—Ocean Vuong, On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous

Too much joy, I swear, is lost in our desperation to keep it.

this December i refuse to be sad this december i will wake up and read this rilke quote every morning because damn he’s right life has not forgotten me it holds me in its hand and will not let me fall

Again with the “can’t.”

Thomas Bernhard - Drei Tage(1970) dir. Ferry Radax

something else i've been thinking about lately is how much more alive houses are to people who experience domestic abuse. some things in the house are protectors - the door to your room that swings shut behind you without you pushing it, the stairs that always creak loud enough to let you know that someone's coming before they get there... whereas other things are alive with malice - the cabinets that slam and the dishes that break, the vacuum cleaner that always manages to sound angry and accusing. the whole house listens, and the whole house remembers, and everything takes sides.
