the impermanence of who we are follows us through life like a hungry dog. sometimes i want to pretend that i still hate onions just so that i remain loyal to some aspect of who i was as a child.

“suffering feels religious if you do it right” no shut up it doesn’t. my friends laughing in the kitchen while i make dinner feels religious. the sun on my face after a long winter feels religious.

My friend is trying to name herself, and she's like, "Oh, what's that name that's like marmalade, but it's a name?" and I know she means Adelaide, but I think I can talk her into naming herself Marmalade if I play my cards right here.

"So I packed my knapsack, got on the train, and looked up at the map and decided I wanted to live in Coney Island. I thought it was gonna be... you know... a real island. That I could hide away there like Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Well, imagine my surprise. The teacups was the only ride they'd let me on by myself, so I got on it and I started spinning myself around and 'round and 'round. But I feel like I'm still there... spinning 'round and 'round and 'round, and the ride won't stop... and I won't dare get off." UPTOWN GIRLS 2003, dir. Boaz Yakin

FYI if anything I say is contradictory it's cause I have like 8 different opinions at once and I actually have no idea what's going on

I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.
