'I'm not mentally ill', I say, as I feel guilty for the failure of every small business in my hometown, because I, a single individual, didn't go out of my way to buy in every small clothing store, every restaurant, every shoe shop, even though I had no money and I was living out of town for several years, and I remember each establishment that closed here with more clarity than I remember my first year at university, the slow death of my hometown is giving my so much anxiety

tmw your father, who is also your commander, who abused you emotionally and physically for being too friendly with another officer, now comes up to you while being suspiciously touchy and tells you he actually changed his mind and you should befriend that officer so you could spy on him for daddy

The inferno of the living is not something that will be; if there is one, it is what is already here, the inferno where we live every day, that we form by being together. There are two ways to escape suffering it. The first is easy for many: accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it. The second is risky and demands constant vigilance and apprehension: seek and learn to recognize who and what, in the midst of inferno, are not inferno, then make them endure, give them space.

"The future is no longer the target toward which we are progressing (or regressing); rather, it is a vague unspecified disaster that may come to pass—but not yet."

We will always be in that most dangerous, most exciting, most possible time of all: the now. Where we never can know what shape the next moment will take.

You shiver, and the city shivers with you.

Purgatorial state as the horror of repetition and the bliss of having another chance. The same story told a million different ways. Ship of Theseus. Subjective perception of reality. Cities as keepers of memory. Human connections as comfort. The goal of continuous transformation. The promise and threat of tomorrow.
