who cares if you don't fully "get" the weird postmodernist novel on your first read, or if the experimental arthouse film is opaque to you on your first viewing? you are not being graded. you are not being scored. there is value in the attempt. every time i've read House of Leaves or watched Blue Velvet, I've gotten something new from it. the idea that you might not "get" something and therefore shouldn't bother with it is so silly to me

anyways the next time someone apologizes to you with some hyperbolic tripe along the lines of “I can never apologize enough for the colossal harm I have done” know that naming an impossible goal that one can’t possibly meet is a way to distract you from the achievable goal they don’t want to pursue: comprehensively apologizing to you a way that recognizes the greater scope of the harm and helps provide a coherent narrative for you to continue past the harm.
