Nowhere 1997
i owe everything to gregg araki. i think it would be impossible to explain how visceral and transcendental his work and especially this film have been to me since i first watched it at 15. there’s not an hour of every day when i don’t think of this movie. this film just understands everything about me. i still remember finishing it for the first time; in utter shock and disbelief after that ending and that specific feeling of euphoria has just grown bigger after time.

I’ll definitely be eyeing the urban artworks in my city differently after this, ultimately it’s a glimpse into passion.

“what happened that summer…is a huge part of me”
Finished reading the novel today. This hurts like a million daggers to the heart - yet feels so close like a beacon of light and dazing reassurance. I can recall the first time i watched this film a couple years ago and then it sort of bewildered me, yet i didn’t know that this would stick to me like a tattoo on skin; this film, these characters, these stories overpowered my life and shone a reflection that has set alight to a lot. Cathartic, reframing and life-changing fall short. -
