1 February, 1937 Letters to Véra by Vladimir Nabokov

one lyric that i will forever love is “does she know how proud i am she was created with the courage to unlearn all of their hatred”. i don’t know whether that lyric was meant to allude to being a member of the lgbtq+ community but that lyric is soooo important to me. it is also so true. i feel like if you grew up in a conservative place it is very easy to feel ashamed of your sexuality/gender and it takes courage to embrace your sexuality and gender and not care what other people think.

The Drunk lives in a mysterious, detached reality with a deep desire for connection. This drunk, an alcoholic writer who is working on the next best seller finds the work unfulfilling, dreaming of days past where the pen moved through fire like it once has. The story lies in a reflection of that past life where deeply disturbed nightmares also reside which has resulted in the current self-isolated, faceless existence of the present.

The Gambler dreams of playing at the largest casino tables but is impulsive as he is clever and calculating. Living in the same house together, he bonds with The Drunk over talks of addiction and would prefer nothing more than to be constantly worked and rung out like a soaked sponge to remove himself from all temptation and regret.

The Lover is on the hunt for his darling and is as bold, hot-headed, and fiery as they come. He, who works at the same factory as The Drunk, talks of women and art and is quick to wave off all that is false and inauthentic about people, a true cynic repulsed by all things unattractive including his former life of degeneracy.

Overall, It's about that one day you realize you have been lying to yourself for 20 years and the great unraveling that follows, a conversation about writing, art, and self-acceptance. The soulful story of three degenerates begins here.
