The problem with silence is that it can’t speak up and say why it’s silent. And so silence collects, becomes amplified, takes on a life outside our intentions, in that silence can get misread as indifference, or avoidance, or even shame, and eventually this silence passes over into forgetting. -Cathy Park Hong p 165
Too dark to walk. Sigh.
Breaking up weed by hand is really below me at this point.
Get with it or get lost.

A great deal has been said about love at first sight; I am perfectly aware of love’s retrospective tendency to make a legend of itself, turns its beginnings into myth; so I don’t want to assert that it was LOVE; but I have no doubt there was a kind of clairvoyance at work. -Milan Kundera p 66
Comparisons is irrelevant.

Tuesday 11/23/2021

Imagine being interested in someone.
My job is pretty much me giving people ideas.

Re-uped on some excedrin migraine today
Aw man just finished The Joke before… so good and sad and real… it’s like, things are not as they seem, they were not as they seemed. The only thing that is anything is how we feel.
Flipping through Valley of the Dolls for no reason and this is the first thing my eyes land on: “That’s how you see her. You’ve heard the legend so long you won’t even try to see her as she really is. I don’t doubt she can be tough when she’s working. That’s her job. She has to fight for what she wants. But divorce her from her work and you’ll find a sensitive, lonely woman, longing for a real friend. And for someone to love.”
Bleak erotic horizons
These aren’t leaders. These are puppets and clowns. -Malcolm X
