that day…that person took one step closer to me

I would give you an 8 in every category. Well, 8 isn’t bad I suppose. Oh no, 8 is the best. It was a scale from 1 to 13. But 8 was highest. The scale went up and back down, like a tent. Why? It’s not important.

THE GOLDFINCH (2019) dir. John Crowley

[silencetalkks]

“Be yourself.” “Follow your heart.” Only here’s what I really, really want someone to explain to me. What if one happens to be possessed of a heart that can’t be trusted —? What if the heart, for its own unfathomable reasons, leads one willfully and in a cloud of unspeakable radiance away from health, domesticity, civic responsibility and strong social connections and all the blandly-held common virtues and instead straight towards a beautiful flare of ruin, self-immolation, disaster? Is Kitsey right? If your deepest self is singing and coaxing you straight toward the bonfire, is it better to turn away? Stop your ears with wax? Ignore all the perverse glory your heart is screaming at you? Set yourself on the course that will lead you dutifully towards the norm, reasonable hours and regular medical check-ups, stable relationships and steady career advancement, the New York Times and brunch on Sunday, all with the promise of being somehow a better person? Or — like Boris — is it better to throw yourself head first and laughing into the holy rage calling your name?

gilbert and bash + the moment they Knew

Women matter on their own, not in relation to a man. We all deserve the right to bodily autonomy and to be treated with respect and dignity. To say stop and be heard, instead of pushed, derided, and told that a man knows more about our basic rights and desires than we do. Women are not made whole by men. Women are made whole the moment they enter this world.

Dear Anne, Since we are parting ways, perhaps forever, I feel I must unburden my heart. You are the fond object of my affection and my desire, you and you alone are the keeper of the key to my heart. Please, don’t be alarmed, I don’t expect your favor, but I can’t in good conscience not reveal myself. I’m not engaged, nor will I be, unless it’s to you Anne, my Anne with an E. It always has been and always will be you. 

With love, Gilbert. 

P. S. Thanks for the pen. Good luck at Queens.

“Please don’t for a minute think that you deserve anything less than a loving partner whose heart and gaze are unwavering.”

Well, this may not come as a surprise to any of you, but… I’m ready to go. I finished everything on my list. I learned how to install a bathtub, fly a helicopter, defuse a bomb, deliver the perfect backhand slice. My last goal was to spend one meaningful day with my parents, and now I’ve spent thousands of them. I feel complete.
