the joys of creation are equally the horrors of creation (in order for the things you want to exist to come to fruition, you have to make it yourself)
I'm trying to prove something.

I feel like if you scream at a small animal loud enough it would simply explode
He is the handsomest man I’ve ever seen (he is covered in blood), he is my baby girl (he has murdered several people, will do it again).
“I can fix him” okay but I can fix the narrative. I can recontextualize events and bring out depths of character. I can shift priorities and strengthen relationships and show that anyone can change with enough kindness and support, and that what you admired in him has been inside yourself this whole time.
romanticizing your life is such a powerful tool and it’s a shame that it’s mostly used by people on tiktok to justify the purchase of expensive breakfast smoothies when there are few better ways to force oneself through unpleasant shit than imagining a cinematic backstory for your extremely quotidian suffering
