From Catching The Big Fish By David Lynch

Right here people might bring up Vincent van Gogh as
an example of a painter who did great work in spite of—or
because of—his suffering. I like to think that van Gogh
would have been even more prolific and even greater if he
wasn’t so restricted by the things tormenting him. I don’t
think it was pain that made him so great—I think his
painting brought him whatever happiness he had.
Some artists believe that anger, depression, or these
negative things give them an edge.They think they need to
hold on to that anger and fear so they can put it in their
work. And they don’t like the idea of getting happy—it
makes them want to puke. They think it would make them
lose their edge or their power.
But you will not lose your edge if you meditate. Y ou will
not lose your creativity. And you will not lose your power. In
fact, the more you meditate and transcend, the more those
things will grow, and you’ll know it. Y ou will gain far more
understanding of all aspects of life when you dive within. In
that way, understanding grows, appreciation grows, the
bigger picture forms, and the human condition becomes
more and more visible.
If you’re an artist, you’ve got to know about anger without
being restricted by it. In order to create, you’ve got to have
energy; you’ve got to have clarity. Y ou’ve got to be able to
catch ideas. Y ou’ve got to be strong enough to fight
unbelievable pressure and stress in this world.

the problem with visual platforms like instagram and tiktok (or ones that limit the amount of words you can use like twitter) is that they are inhospitable to complex discussions of themes and narrative. which is why booktok/booktwt are both so stupid. they incentivise u to aestheticise reading to the point where even your personal annotations are more for the benefit of an unseen audience than for yourself. fuck understanding or interrogating the book that youre reading. what u need is likes and retweets. don't buy a book that will make your bookshelf ugly. don't crack the spine, read it once, or read the ebook and keep the physical copy purely for display purposes. only read about hot people, young people, middle class english speaking westerners. only read about people who are exactly like you. you must never be pretentious you must never be overly serious you must never be ugly. etc. its all very miserable

Gentle Affection

Adult!Sugawara Koushi x F!Reader

His delicate side will always be on his nature, and you are so smitten by it.

You sighed for the hundred times today. Looking at the broken microwave, hoping that maybe it will work this time. Your boyfriend was out with his high school friends to watch a volleyball match between MSBY Black Jackals and Schweiden Adlers.

Remembering it, you never thought that someone as gentle as Sugawara Koushi used to play as a setter. But that one time you grabbed his hand on yours, the calloused hand makes you understood all of his hard work.

The first time you met the light grey-haired man was around a year ago. Your sister asked you to accompany her son to the school trip as you were done with college. You almost curse your life at that time. After all, you are really not that great when it comes to children. Your nephew is probably the only exception by the time.
