[arthoesunshine]

i like to pretend i already died and asked god to send me back to earth so i can swim in lakes again and see mountains and get my heart broken and love my friends and cry so hard in the bathroom and go grocery shopping 1,000 more times. and that i promised i would never forget the miracle of being here

My work is very minor. It will never be noticed by the world at large. But this does not excuse me from the responsibilities of any artist.

TOUCHING PEOPLE’S LIVES IN A POSITIVE WAY IS AS CLOSE AS I CAN GET TO AN IDEA OF RELIGION.

BELIEF IN ONE’S SELF IS ONLY A MIRROR OF BELIEF IN OTHER PEOPLE AND EVERY PERSON.

-KEITH HARING JOURNALS, AGE 28

"Immature people crave and demand moral certainty: This is bad, this is good. Kids and adolescents struggle to find a sure moral foothold in this bewildering world; they long to feel they’re on the winning side, or at least a member of the team. To them, heroic fantasy may offer a vision of moral clarity. Unfortunately, the pretended Battle Between (unquestioned) Good and (unexamined) Evil obscures instead of clarifying, serving as a mere excuse for violence — as brainless, useless, and base as aggressive war in the real world."

Ursula K Le Guin at it again, being right as always
