If you're lamenting the fact that you used to be able to shoot through a 500-page novel in like a day when you were in middle school and now you can't, it's worth bearing in mind that a big part of that is because when you were in middle school, your reading comprehension sucked. Yes, mental health and the stresses of adult life can definitely be factors, but it's also the case that reading is typically more effortful as an adult because you've learned to Ponder The Implications. The material isn't just skimming over the surface of your brain anymore, and some of the spoons you used to spend on maximising your daily page count are now spent on actually thinking about what you're reading!

i would like to not exist for some time.

life is getting too real in my realm and i’m not prepared for it but i’m bored and i don’t know my purpose in life and i don’t know what to do with myself and i want to sleep and i don’t want to eat but i’m starving and i don’t want to think about anything because if i do i will cry and i’m tired of the burn in my throat and the sting in my eyes and itch in my nose.

my bones feel so heavy sometimes and my skin is stretched too thin over them. i have been left behind bursting at the seams with no idea how to hold myself.

i do not know myself the way i know the shape of your shoulder beneath my fingers, the feel of your skin, the nape of your neck, the sound of your footsteps, your kiss on my head, the weight of your hand.

I can’t begin to express my gratitude to Sadie and Dylan for giving us everything they had in order to tell this story. All Too Well The Short Film is out on YouTube, and showing all week at the AMC 13 theater in NYC. For you, from us.

November 12. Remember it.

“I want to tell you this story without having to confess anything,

without having to say that I ran out into the street to prove something,

that he didn't love me,

that I wanted to be possessed, thrown over, that I wanted to have the wounds

nailed shut.

[…]

Tell me we're dead and I'll love you

even more.

I'm surprised that I say it with feeling.

There's a thing in my stomach about this. A simple thing. The last rung.”

-Richard Siken, The Torn-Up Road
