the sense im getting here is that

- grad school: stressful and joyless

- career: soul-crushing and banal

- unsure path: unstable and desolate

- obsessed with some freak: life is beautiful

past version that don't exist now

mourning what could be

our (my) biggest desire is to belong, a community, to be understood even when you say the wrong things

so that the silence before sleep don't haunt you

and mornings are an endeavours worth risking

and entertainment you enjoy sharing

to say something and it being immediately understood, not in the literal sense but to be understood enough that it doesn't lead to misunderstandings

“It’s not ‘natural’ to speak well, eloquently, in an interesting articulate way. People living in groups, families, communes say little–have few verbal means. Eloquence–thinking in words–is a byproduct of solitude, deracination, a heightened painful individuality.”

When we blame ourselves we feel that no one else has a right to blame us. It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution. When Dorian Gray had finished the letter, he felt that he had been forgiven.
