May 2026
Another month.
I did some writing, although I also did some giving up on writing towards the end of the month. I had to let my story rest, for one thing (even though it should be done resting now), and for another working on my autobiography is always hard. But I'm making progress! Connections are being made! The hard thing is to keep writing as I wait to be more "inspired" (as I wait for things to get easier again).
Made it through the many holidays of May and I'm back to working four-day weeks now, poor me. But I've only got twenty days left at this job now, so I suppose it's OK. Being unemployed for a bit will do me good, even though the money will be tighter. I will be able to write more, read more, start exercising regularly again. I hope I won't get too depressed too quickly.
Anyway the summer heat is already here. Let's get ready for three months of melting and stewing.
Ce qu'il y a d'insupportable dans la résilience c'est l'idée que toute cette souffrance ne conduise finalement qu'à être normal. Accepter que ce que les autres ont sans effort, sans même en percevoir la valeur, ne nous est donné qu'au prix d'une double peine : le martyre et ensuite le chemin de croix de la guérison. Il serait plus souhaitable que la résilience en tant que dépassement permette aussi de surpasser le normal comme un supplément d'être. Devenir fou, devenir une voyante ou une sainte. Mais non, la plupart d'entre nous allons faire nos courses incognito, sans qu'on puisse deviner à aucun signe particulier ce qui nous est arrivé.

La torture crée une cellule d'intimité où on se met à exister dans les yeux de l'autre, et cet autre existe à nos yeux, de la manière la plus honnête qui soit. Du moins c'est ce qu'on croit, c'est ce que nous fait croire la sensation de nudité dans laquelle on est. Comme une drogue dure, la plongée dans une situation extrême donne la sensation de vivre plus intensément. C'est une sensation de vérité absolue. On se trompe, évidemment, mais il n'est pas facile de déconstruire une perception que tous nos sens, tout notre être, ont vécue comme une expérience indépassable.

My top songs of the last ten years, according to Spotify.
Rock is not redundant. It has no rules. That's the point of it, so fuck you for telling me I have to behave like Eddie Vedder or Kurt Cobain or your fantasy of Kurt Cobain, who never lived to be a man, so we don't really know what he would do, do we? You didn't even know who he was. You didn't know what a glam-rocking, eyeliner-wearing, roach-scoring, feather boa-wearing person he was at that point, so just shut your mouth. We don't know what he would have been like if he had given all that shit up and gotten strong and clean.

Endings are overrated; they are often the point when the writer bows to convention, and there is a lot more to a story than who gets the girl, or who dies. When I write fiction or drama, I know that my liking for a character is shown by my giving her a lot of page time and vivid scenes, however I may dispose of her by the end.

“do you write for work or just for fun” none of the above. this activity is neither profitable nor enjoyable
