Tune in for Love (2019) dir. by Jung Ji-woo

[krushing]

I only have a handful of happy memories. But with some of them, I can't even recall the details, which upsets me. They don't even feel like my own memories. I almost can't believe I actually experienced those moments.

Listen for the baneful chants. Weep with them, as one in trance. And weep with us, oh, weep with us...

LEAVING A VOICEMAIL FOR GOD FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME

It’s me again, and I know I just left you a voicemail about an hour ago,

thanking you for marbling the sky with the most vibrant colours I’ve

seen in a while & for the morning songs of the thrushes—I wanted to

call you and say that I know this year isn’t over, just yet, but it was quite

a year & for all the wrong reasons, and there really hasn’t been a moment

to just rest, it’s been a series of one thing after another, and I’m not even

sure why I’m telling you about another year that almost killed me, I’ve

been trying to practice being more mindful & more grateful, but I’ve

been grasping at straws lately. It feels like the rot is everywhere these

days. I was hoping you could send me a postcard, from wherever you

are at the moment, I’d settle for a sign. My memory isn’t the best but

I have a tendency to keep replaying the little things and inflate their

significance, I still think of the first time I saw her brown eyes catch

evening light far too often. At times, it feels like I’m comprised entirely

of a series of small things, and for once, I just want one big thing

to call my own. That isn’t too much trouble, is it?

It’s weird to grow up in a family where you know you’re loved but you don’t feel loved. And then later in adulthood you understand how almost impossible it seems to cross that distance and let yourself experience closeness, how otherworldly love feels now and how love feels unbearable at times. You flinch when someone tries to wholeheartedly love you. And over and over you see so clearly how you cannot be loved unless it's from afar and love is mixed with that familiar sensation of distance and coldness.
