I’m going to have to buy an actual copy so I can start scribbling in the margins, or highlighting passages.

y’all if i ever start trying to rationalize laughing sounds as like “normal house sounds”, call a priest, call an exorcist, ’COS I’VE BEEN FUCKING POSSESSED

◈ ‘Life is too long, despite the cliché. Too long, and sometimes too painful. But I imagine I have made it too far. I imagine, somewhere around some corner, the best part is still coming.’

SAME GIRL THAT’S HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS DUMB BOOK

Even in my decade-plus of loving Bruce Springsteen’s music, I have always known and accepted that the idea of hard, beautiful, romantic work is a dream sold a lot easier by someone who currently knows where their next meal will come from.

Abdurraqib speaks simple truths so eloquently you’re stunned — he puts into words what you’ve only felt

彼の言葉を借りれば、喜怒哀楽に対して、恐怖は独立している。例えば楽しいゲームをしていて、そのときは本心から楽しいと思っていても、それはそれとして死にたい気持ちが消えているわけではない。疑似的に凍結しているだけだ。しかし、本当に「怖い」ものを前にすれば、それらの気持ちは掻き消される。

Yeah, despite all the bullshit this book is spouting, this line, I get. I get it, girl.
