Chana Bloch, “A Life on Earth”

[thebluecrayon]

“In this culture, we celebrate boys through the lexicon of violence – ‘you’re killing it,’ ‘you’re making a killing,’ ‘smash them,’ ‘blow them up,’ ‘you went into that game guns blazing.’ And I think it’s worth it to ask the question: what happens to our men and boys when the only way they can valuate themselves is through the lexicon of death and destruction? And I think when they see themselves only worthwhile when they are capable of destroying things, it’s inevitable that we arrive at a masculinity that is toxic.”

— Ocean Vuong during an interview with Seth Meyers

I wake up on sunny days but I don't know how freezing cold breezes of winter find me, their touch on my chapped skin feels familiar; as if I share kinship with them, as if I belong with them, as if they come every morning to take me back home.

“We worship perfection because we can’t have it; if we had it, we would reject it. Perfection is inhuman, because humanity is imperfect.”
