    All the Beauty and the Bloodshed

    she sees the future & all the beauty & the bloodshed. reminds me of why i don't believe much in fate, i think fate is too nihilistic & I don't like it. there is always a better outcome, another choice, a sweeter tragedy. but life isn't like the movies, reality is singular, forever; tragedies will always happen & once it's happened it's happened, there's no turning back, no better reality than the one we have. when things go wrong we can't make them right,…

    "I'll miss your faces. Oh, 
    they reminded me of God."

    i saw salò yesterday. never needed a movie this bad, it's like an antidote – i know there's beauty & kindness still left in the world, & i know it's hard to believe a lot of the time, but I don't want to be sad anymore. i want to not feel scared anymore, & maybe that doesn't have to only be in the movies. maybe we could have hope, because hope starts within & reaches…

    "what's your name? what's your name?"

    good children go to heaven / damned children live forever in spaces inescapable with entities inevitable; about falling asleep and dreaming wishing u weren't. about falling asleep in front of the TV while a demon watches over your family & your soul. about nothing. 

    purgatory but it's your childhood home, your moms crying upstairs, the TV keeps repeating one part of a cartoon & it shines so bright, & there's someone in the room - always under…
