Sketch
doomed by the narrative but not to death. doomed to survive. doomed to stay alive inside the story. doomed to never escape the narrative, not even through death. you are allowed no exit. there is no way out for you and there never was. you couldnβt die if you wanted to. the narrative has a hold on you and it wonβt let go. death is too sweet a doom for you. the story has something much worse in mind. there is no way out.
It's him. Your beautiful scurvy riddled wife.

Tfw you'll live forever but only in fragments πππ
β from Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson
"[...] Revising the perceived sad ending of the entry, Geryon again borrows from βRed Meat,β this time its final fragment, writing, βAll over the world the beautiful red breezes went on blowing hand/ in hand,β shifting away from self-centering and instead highlighting redβs continuance without him and its propensity for connection, despite Geryonβs own alienation. Redness is not exclusive to boys but can belong to breezes too."
β from Anne Carson: βRed Meat: Fragments of Stesichorosβ by Kristi Maxwell
But I am afraid; I have a nameless fear of that transformation. I have not yet grown accustomed to this world, which seems a goodly one. Why should I move on to another one? I should dearly like to remain among the meanings I have grown fond of, and if something really does have to change, I should at least like to be able to live among dogs [β¦]
from The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge by Rainer Maria Rilke
I must retire to my chamber now that you've turned on the biggie big head light but lament no more for I shall be vocal stimming very loudly from there so you could still enjoy the abundant warmth of my company
writers and artists will go "this isn't good enough." my brother in christ, you're creating something new out of nothing and expressing yourself creatively. your productivity and unrealistic standards of perfection do not define you or the worth of your art. you're doing great.
