“Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.”

— Franz Kafka

Recent visuals I'm into.

“His voice rolls
and humms
so deeply
I feel it like honey on my tongue
my vagina stirs
opens and awakes
I feel each syllable
deeply inside of me
as if the echos of his words
have crawled inside of me
coaxed and asked
kissed until it is wet
ready to take inside
all of this
from a red hot chilli pepper song”

— Janne Robinson

“And I said, ‘I feel so lonely’, and he said ‘Lie down and tell me about it.’”

— Anne Carson, The Anthropology of Water

It's hard to say goodbye to summer. There are some visuals and sounds to hold onto.

“We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget. We forget the loves and the betrayals alike, forget what we whispered and what we screamed, forget who we were.”

— Joan Didion, Slouching Towards Bethlehem

It's been months since I've had a working computer. Feels good to have access to my vision boards again.

“Just to be clear
I don’t want to get out
without a broken heart.
I intend to leave this life
so shattered
there’s gonna have to be
a thousand separate heavens
for all of my separate parts”

— Andrea Gibson

I am sorry to ignore my blog. I will try to continue to do at least one post a month. Some changes have occurred in my world, and the journey is great, but also very personal. Life is gloriously busy, and I will try to write more about that soon.

In the meantime, you should listen to Maggie Rogers' EP (my favorite is Better), read Charles Blow in the New York Times as often as possible, follow Dan Rather and Robert Reich on Facebook (these 3 men are keeping me sane from POTUS), watch the final season of Girls on HBO (for nostalgia purposes), follow @Judeliana and @CaitlinJStasey69 on Instagram (they are brilliant artists who are also huge activists), watch the movie Her again (to feel something unusual), read a book on your list (for me, it's The Girls by Emma Cline).
