hey doc, whats the diagnosis for when you dont identify with yourself and you arent invested in your own life? whats the treatment for understanding from a young age that your desires will only come true in daydream and fantasy, and from a younger age that this is the case because theres something wrong with you? what do you do when your wants are buried so deep inside you they cant drive you forward and kept so quiet you doubt theyre even there? hey doc? doctor?

literally everything aside, what do you mean tao was laughing? what do you mean tao was dancing for the last time with a girl he was most certainly still in love with, knowing he was loosing her, and he was laughing? what do you mean ive been learning bout letting go, how to do it without my claws scratching the surfaces?

"you're better than this" has gotta be my favorite phrase in the english language. craziest thing to tell someone, who do you think you are? its never wrong tho

[otherentrance]

relatedly, "i cant do this" "you can" is definitely up there with my favorite dialogs in the english language. its the unwavering faith, for me. its the implicit mentor figure. its the juxtaposition of steadfast resolve vs desperation for self-abandonment. its an immovable object vs an unstoppable force, if you will

yes ofc hozier isnt just the take me to church guy but also if he has to be defined by one song take me to church is one Hell of a number. no masters or kings when the ritual begins? there is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin?? can we talk about that? there is NO sweeter innocence, there is nothing more holy than you and i right now. divinity isnt housed in the church and it cant be heard from the mouth of a priest, the ONLY heaven i'll be sent to is when im alone with you . girl what

doing school online at home is a super fun and flexible alternative to brick and mortar learning! until youre eating lunch in your house one afternoon and realize the only thing keeping you company is the mounting horror that you dont exist in the world and maybe you never will

hey man, sorry to hear you didnt like my unfunny joke. i would have spared you from the torment of my humor but you gotta understand. i either have my fun or mafia boxers regret and yearning publically execute me via guillotine to an enraptured crowd of all my past mistakes born from hesitation and self-doubt

project hail mary really is like "the world is ending and theres something you can do about it. you specifically and nobody else. the world is ending and its not our fault, its not even your fault, but it is your responsibility. its simple: we need you to die for us. its you or us, its all of us or you specifically. we dont want to ask this of you but the world is ending and theres no other way we can survive. this isnt a choice. we are making this choice for you. its cruel what we're asking of you but your refusal to do it is worse. youre killing us. youre actively choosing to let the world die. your life isnt more important than billions. you have nothing to live for, so die for us. you can try to negotiate but this answer wont change. its you, it has to be you. youre not brave, youre not ready, youre not even qualified for the job, but it has to be you. you have three hours to accept this"
