*through gritted teeth* you are not a child taking a test with the purpose of getting the highest score, you are an adult trying new things and finding ways to enjoy your life, make mistakes, be a beginner, be mediocre, be where you need to be, be unlikeable, just. be.

“(…) I know that illness weights the body even if the eyes gaze skyward, that death tastes of salt, heavy and cold. But I know, too, that longing can lighten this load. Love narrows the field of view so I can see only what I want to see. When I slip my hand into yours, I am weightless.”— Christine Kitano, from “Friday Night Affair”
