Childhood does not end in one fell swoop, as we wished it would when we were children. It lingers, crouching silently in our adult, then wizened bodies, until one day, many years later, when we think that the heavy burden of bitterness and despair we've been shouldering has turned us irredeemably into adults, it reappears with the force and speed of a lightning bolt, wounding us with its freshness, its innocence, its unerring dose of naivety, but most all with the certainty that this really and truly is the last glimpse we shall have of it.

Guadalupe Nettel, from The Accidentals (tr. Rosalind Harvey)

Sometimes, if you’re lucky, there will be a tree outside your bedroom window. It is very important to romanticize this tree as much as possible.

when it’s early evening and the air is turning to dusk and warm lights start blinking on at windows and you can hear cutlery and dishes clattering… yeah. the sounds of people living. it gives me a little bit of heart and hope to live again

2025 is the year to get around to it. rub some dirt in the gaping wound of your heart and bare your teeth to your own life
