Cats (2019):

me, sobbing in a corner: WTF

I often feel like the living embodiment of the phrase “jack of all trades master of none”.

[notdavidfincher]

That was the moment I saw beyond myself. My pain was selfish. Because it was never only mine. For everybody in this place there was someone who mourned their loss. Even if they didn’t know why. We were all bound together. The living and the damned.

We don’t need other worlds. We need a mirror.

Solaris (1972), dir. Andrei Tarkovsky

It’s been tough to write regularly late because a lot of real life stuff is happening.

Moving in with my new partner in six weeks and just trying to get everything ready for us to move in since it’s our first time building a household together.

Work is also batshit insane right now. The restaurant gets busier and busier as the weather gets nicer and we’re still short on cooks and short on managers. I love the hell out of this job and they pay me well, but man I don’t really wanna work overtime.

I’m also trying to continue my hobbies and creative pursuits. I don’t know if my brain can really handle it. After talking to a friend and my mom, I think it’s a good idea if I find out what mental health services I have access to. Therapy and potentially medication could honestly do wonders for my life.

I don’t really give a shit if anyone reads this, but I love you all and wish you well.

It's funny how life can tend to mirror itself

Patterns within patterns

Fractals within fractals

Choices made years ago

Can come full circle

And change the now

All these branching paths

Like veins in a leaf

Or the lines in the palm of your hand

Waves of chaos

Crashing onto the sand

Of daily decisions

We are all in these hyperreal

Choose your own adventure books

But the pages intersect

Between you and I and all

We try to maintain

Our inner illusion of control

Yet this idea is bullshit

We are slaves to our neurons

And genes and diet and time

It may not be your experience

But this is mine

The inspiration here is a woman

She came out of nowhere

As if from thin air from across the pass

She smiled beneath her mask

And elicits memories of mountain town cafes

Glances shared and words spoken

Why is it so hard to be content?

I always want more

Different

New

It's a moment of fear and of change

So I'm grasping on to those things

That keep me feeling present

And thats ok

Just be prudent

Be kind

Be honest

Be true.

Cronos (1993) dir. by Guillermo del Toro

Dear Mercedes, it’s very hard to write these lines to you. I want you to know that, somehow, for some reason, I’m still alive. And being alive is very painful. I’m burning with thirst. And everything feels foreign to me, the day, this house… and you. Aurora will stay with you. She will leave you this letter. By the time you read it, I will have gone to a kind of appointment to resolve unfinished business. If I’ve lost everything, at least I’d like to know why. Just today I realize how much I miss you. I hope to find you here when I come back, willing to see me, regardless of my appearance. Love, Jesus.

Holy shit. I’m so excited.

You said people come here to change the story of their lives. I imagined a story where I didn’t have to be the damsel.

It’s not like us… it’s unlike us. I don’t know what it wants, or if it wants, but it’ll grow until it encompasses everything. Our bodies and our minds will be fragmented into their smallest parts until not one part remains…

ANNIHILATION (2018) dir. Alex Garland
