I Know Not Who I Am

Academia aesthetic, with a healthy serving of books, quotes and excerpts. Simple living, love, pain, war.. whatever else I find myself believing in.

Claudia Rankine, from “Some years there exists a wanting to escape...”, Citizen

[freelance-philosopher]

“I think I could stand anything, any suffering, only to be able to say and to repeat to myself every moment, ‘I exist.’ In thousands of agonies — I exist. I’m tormented on the rack — but I exist! Though I sit alone in a pillar — I exist! I see the sun, and if I don’t see the sun, I know it’s there. And there’s a whole life in that, in knowing that the sun is there.”

— Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

i wrote a twin cinema poem about two gay soldiers in wwi

context: the two sides, read separately, are the two soldiers thinking about their futures with each other. when read together, it's a reflection of their final thoughts when they die together struck by bullets <3

Astonishingly beautiful. Holy shit this is the best thing I’ve ever read. The pain and beauty of this poem inspired me to paint again, I sensed the vibe immediately. My god, never stop writing..
