albert, notebook iii.

"An overwhelming impulse to cast ourselves away and reject everything, to become like nothing at all, utterly destroying what makes us what we are, offering the present only solitude and nothingness, and returning to the only platform where our destinies can suddenly be renewed. The temptation is a permanent one. Should we resist or give way? Is it possible to live a monotonous, repetitive life while perpetually haunted by the thought of a work to be created, or should we adjust our life to this work, follow the lightening flash? It is my concern for beauty, and for liberty, which causes me most anguish."

the good foot.


Note to self: Let go of the hands that hold you down. Grasp tighter to those that pull you up, push you forward.

Been experiencing a major case of brain fog. Feeling like my sister sloth. Hanging out with the most incredulous cat.

tooth sweater.



Small observations: Old band-aids on the laundromat floor. Chicken bones in the hallway. On the subway platform, a man tells me that I am 'not pulling it off'.
