Status Updates From Arcadie

"Up until now I hadn’t understood that love and tolerance were only for bipolar and electromagnetic-hypersensitive white people: I thought our hearts were big enough to love everyone. [...] Omnia vincit amor, my ass, it’s exactly the opposite. Love is weak, easily overcome, as quick to be extinguished as it is to be born. Hatred, on the other hand, prospers from nothing and never dies."

I FELT the whiplash of Farah experiencing the euphoria of listening to Wham! for the first time and the heartbreak of learning that George Michael has already died before she could love his music

"It’s so sad, this joy. What a waste of the mad desire to join in and do the right thing, all that love forlornly shining its light on those adults who wanted nothing to do with it. [...] I was wrong to be happy, or rather, I was happy only through a miraculous lack of awareness and understanding that is perhaps the other name for childhood"
