THE SUN COMES UP AGAIN // LIVING DESPITE IT ALL

"And then the miracle happens. The sun comes up again."

"NO ONE IS JUST ONE PERSON, YOU, FOR EXAMPLE, ARE BOTH CAIN AND ABEL"

Film still from "Kill Your Darlings."
Allen (left) and Lucien (right) lay side by side on a wooden floor. Allen turns his head to face Lucien while Lucien looks upwards at the ceiling. He holds a cigarette between his fingers.
The caption reads: "To be reborn, / you have to die first."

"But an echo of a person is not a person at all and the memory of a memory is a light at the end of a never ending tunnel. / We can never go back to who we once were."

"24. You go on by doing the best you can. You go on by being generous. You go on by being true. You go on by offering comfort to others who can't go on. You go on by allowing the unbearable days to pass and allowing the pleasure in other days. You go on by finding a channel for your love and another for your rage."

"AND WITH THIS HAND YOU WILL WAVE IN THE DESPAIR. / IT WILL RUSH IN FROM ALL CORNERS. / IT WILL RUSH IN FROM ALL SIDES, / AND IN THIS UNKEPT BED, IN THIS PILE OF DIRTY BLANKETS / A TERRIBLE STORM RAGES; // TO KILL THE ONLY SELF THAT IS LEFT / TO HAMMER OUT THE DAYS IN A BLIND FURY, / TO BLUR THE REMAINING MOMENTS WITH DRUGS AND BOOZE // AND WITH THIS HAND YOU WILL FORGE A KINDNESS / CAST FROM SOME SMOULDERING METAL, SOME VIOLENT / REACTION, CRAFTED INTO SOME BLACK STEELE BLADE // AND YOU WILL SLASH AND TRASH AND CUT ABOUT / UNTIL THE STORM CLEARS / OUT OF YOUR LIMP BODY"

"LIKE HOW THE SKY IS DARKEST BEFORE THE SUNRISE, / WE'RE ONLY GOING THROUGH OUR LAST GROWING PAINS"

Screenshot of tumblr tags added to the bottom of a post.
"#when the world does not leave room for love it doesn't simply disappear #it reshapes itself #into something cruel and monstrous and greedy and desperate and terrible and still. #there is love."

"Okay. We had terrible lives. What now? What comes / after the tragedy? / What choice is there but to keep going, despite? / You remember the good times, I know you do. / That beautiful summer we met in. I've lost my / tenderness since then, don't you agree?"

The background image is of the sun in the distance, just above a dark ocean. The sky is a light pink. There are various black rocks in the foreground.
The caption reads: "I think I'm going to start another new life"

"I love this world, even in its hard places. / A bird too must love this world, / even in its hard places. / So, even if the effort may come to nothing, / you have to do something."

Proud library supremacist

You guys rlly don't realise how much knowledge is still not committed to the internet. I find books all the time with stuff that is impossible to find through a search engine- most people do not put their magnum opus research online for free and the more niche a skill is the less likely you are to have people who will leak those books online. (Nevermind all the books written prior to the internet that have knowledge that is not considered "relevant" enough to digitise).

Whenever people say that we r growing up with all the world's knowledge at our fingertips...it's not necessarily true. Is the amount of knowledge online potentially infinite? Yes. Is it all knowledge? No. You will be surprised at the niche things you can discover at a local archive or library.

Something that I get chills about is the fact that the oldest story told made by the oldest civilization opens with "In those days, in those distant days, in those ancient nights."

This confirms that there is a civilization older than the Sumerians that we have yet to find

Some people get existential dread from this

Me? I think it's fucking awesome it shows just how much of this world we have yet to discover and that is just fascinating
