how to become real by MAJA ☆ // Life intensification is about participating in your own narrative, surrendering to the improvisational rhythm of becoming. You loosen your grip on how you thought life should look, and allow something weirder, more specific, more you to emerge.
how to become real by MAJA: In that sense, becoming is often viral. Selfhood is contagious. One person standing firmly in their specificity can spark a cascade of emergence in the people around them, in one of the most beautiful butterfly effects we can witness.
'I'm not really into politics' by SEUN UNFILTERED ☆ // Ignorance may be bliss, but it’s a privilege many cannot afford. To live unaffected by political changes and global injustices is a luxury.

peppermint candy (1999) // "I don't want to die alone. I need one bastard to come with me. Just one bastard among all that ruined my life. But then, who should I kill? It gives me hard time, you know. To pick just one is hard thing to do. [ ... ] There're so many fuckers in my life that it's hard to pick just one."
aloners (2021) // "To tell you the truth, I’m not cut out for eating alone. Or sleeping alone, or taking the bus alone. I don’t like smoking alone. I’m no good on my own. I just pretend to be."
drugstore june (2004) // "What is up with your generation and being triggered?"
asteroid city (2023) // "In my loneliness (or, perhaps, because of it), I’ve learned not to judge people; to take people as I find them, not as others find them; and, most of all, to give complete and unquestioning faith to the people I love."

The Hysterical Girls of St. Bernadette's by Hanna Alkaf: I think about what it would be like to feel less alone, to talk to people who understand me, who might know the answers to my questions. What it would feel like to have a friend. I wonder if banishing my loneliness would mean banishing my ghosts. I wonder if these girls can save me, the way my nightmares ask to be saved.
Sunbirth by An Yu: People had to live, after all, and life was already a large enough mess, even before the sun started to disappear. This may all sound foolish – mad, even – but as long as the sun continued to rise, we had to live, and to live, for most people, was to survive as an individual, not as a species. So, time. That is my guess. Time stretches everything thin. Change is a creature that crawls.
