“Unexpressed Emotions Will Never Die. They Are Buried Alive And They Will Come Forth, Later, In Uglier

realizing that sticking to the "do it bad" "do it scared" mentality implies theres also a "do it bored"

Nkondi figures are a Congolese tradition that resolves societal struggles. A figure, treated like any other member of the society with its own personality & living space, has a nail driven into it by the local spiritual expert/diviner in order to produce enough energy (or pain/sensation) to free the spirit from the figure for a time. This is done after relevant matter (things like dirt from a grave site, herbs with protective qualities, or blood) is placed into the compartment typically found in the figure's chest. Through this process, the figure's spirit engages with the unseen realm & ideally resolves the issue of interest. On the figure can be seen the village's history over the years in the form of sharp objects that have accumulated. In this image the Madonna & child has been treated as an Nkondi figure.

Franz Kafka, from Letters to Felice

how terrifying metamorphosis must be for the caterpillar has no concept of what it is doing, or what a butterfly is, or what will happen to it as it spins itself the cocoon. we r more alike than different

I’m fine

HERE IT IS, THE ART I'VE SEARCHED FOR AGES OMG AT LAST 😭😭

Known by their hands, for they are butchers; known by their eyes, for they are surgeons

As the ground right under me crumbles as if it wasn't there.

It's too much, my heart's crushed, i'm not alive.

I don't know who to call, alone.

I won't die.

My life has succumbed to hatred and death, alone

in the snow.
