Sometimes you need to read something twice to get it. You might need to watch a movie three times to understand it. You might have to have that album on repeat for a week until the lyrics make any sense. You're allowed to engage with it and can keep engaging with it until it means something to you. People will see a painting at a museum and laugh about not getting what the big deal is but like you can come back, you can see it at another time, and maybe that next time it'll be different for you. I'm of the belief the "media literacy crisis" would solve itself if more people just sat down and did it again. Watched, read, played, listened, etc like I don't think people are getting more ignorant necessarily I just think we're not glorifying personally replaying things nearly as much as we should be.

Also, people need to take their time about things more. Don't watch 5 episodes of that TV show in one sitting, watch one (or maybe two, if you feel like spoiling yourself once in a while) and sleep on it. Turn it around in your mind for a day or two at least. Think about why the characters might be doing what they're doing. Speculate about where the story might go from that point. Re-watch the episode, or even just a notable scene or two, before you move on to the next.

I get feeling a strong desire to just quickly see what happens next, but if you want to properly get anything out of it, you need to pace yourself.

btw you will miss this in 5 or 10 years. memory will smooth these circumstances down like a river stone, and you will find yourself longing for a shade of light or a moment of this particular innocence. you don't know about what happens next, and one day that will be the most alluring thing of all. don't leave it all for nostalgia. have a nice night now, whatever night it happens to be.

virginia woolf's 1931 new years resolutions : "to have none. not to be tied. to be free & kindly with myself. sometimes to read, sometimes not to read. to go out, yes—but stay at home in spite of being asked. as for clothes, i think to buy good ones."

You know, I’m real sick of people thinking art history is boring. Like, Caravaggio straight up killed a man by chopping his dick off and then was on the run for the rest of his own life.
