tax season
Another obligatory entry about home, where no catastrophes are in sight, but somehow rough grains underneath your feet work their way inside your skin anyway. It’s taxing. That’s all I can say to sum it up. Actually, I can (and have) summed it up in a million ways, maybe even too much. But why throw away something that gives you so much material each time? As a writer,...
Best friends are people you don't need to talk to...

“Mirrors should think longer before they reflect.”
– Jean Cocteau (via misswallflower)
First year, someone called me a transparent mirror, probably because I take on whatever identities imposed on me without much reflection (pun intended). It was the most razor-sharp insight anyone’s had into me, to this day, I wonder how he knew.

When I was one-and-twenty I heard him say again, ‘The heart out of the bosom Was never given in vain; ’Tis paid with sighs a plenty And sold for endless rue.’...
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
– Kurt Vonnegut (Mother Night)
This theme keeps coming up today, the idea that we all put up a “theatrical” self to everyone, except when we’re alone. I don’t think this makes the “selves” we present to others any less authentic though. Because, really, what are...

galliano's final show →
It really really sucks that he is stepping down, despite how much I hate the remarks he’s made, he is a tremendous designer. It’s always jarring when talent and personality don’t mix.

– Robertson Davies (via misswallflower)

It turns out that he’s from LA too! Covina, came here for divinity school, wants to go into ministry. We talked about getting out of the socal bubble, future career plans, his poli sci to the ministry transition, city...
