PAGE 70!!!!!!!!!! Maybe it’s bc of the convo w h* that I just had, but suddenly this book means a lot to me. How violence infects pleasure through trauma; how divinity is channeled through selfhood, which is itself channeled through sexual freedom. Stars, light, comets, meteors, glittering, shooting stars, haloes, GOLD. Cupid, God, heaven, resurrection. Feeling a lot!!!!!!!!!!!
