the thing i miss so deeply about college is like actual critical thinking and discussion abt literature, especially the taboo and gross stuff. you can’t have an actual discussion about lolita or in more recent times, my dark vanessa, without performative and shallow dismissing of the art itself. like. okay go watch sesame street and cocomelon dude idk what to tell you, if every piece of media was morally pure there wouldn’t be… art. it would just be content.
“She stands over me as I say I’m sad, I’m so sad, small, simple words, the only ones that make sense as I clutch my chest like a child and point to where it hurts.”
— Kate Elizabeth Russell, from My Dark Vanessa
I wrote 12 pages in my journal about you, while I was listening to Billie Holiday. You made a very interesting impression for me.
I'm definitely a romantic, I don't think life is really worth all the pain and effort and struggling if you don't have somebody that you love very much.
- Chet Baker
imagine being the first ancient person to realize that the ocean and their tears taste the same. imagine realizing that your sorrow and the waves share a taste. i wouldve gone crazy
