Fiounulla - Stop Making Sense

corpse song, margaret atwood

love + vulnerability:

1. “I don’t want your love unless you know I am repulsive, and love me even as you know it.” (georges bataille, from ‘my mother’)

2. “Finally, in a low whisper, he said, “I think I might be a terrible person.” For a split second I believe him - I thought he was about to confess to a crime, maybe murder. Then I realized that we all think we might be terrible people. But we only reveal this before asking someone to love us. It is a kind of undressing.“ (miranda july, from ‘the first bad man’)

3. “I also learned the word dendrochronology—analyzing the patterns of tree rings to know everything that has ever happened to a tree. This is how I love you. I am peeling back my skin, layer by layer, so you will finally know everything inside me.” (roxanne gay, from ‘strange gods’)

“A whole ocean of opinions, each one defining you within someone else, and creating you in another man’s soul. It’s as if you were being born inside a thousand souls that are too tight–fitting for comfort!”

— Witold Gombrowicz, Ferdydurke (tr. by Danuta Borchardt), 1937.

Honestly!!! This is just psychological trauma in the making

I say ‘no worries’ far too much for someone who is approx. 94% worry

“Und dann muss man ja auch noch Zeit haben, einfach dazusitzen, und vor sich hin zu schauen.”
