It happens often that I watch a movie or read a book that I don't quite understand. It is only as I move on in life, i understand them. It's not just with things I don't understand but everything else as well.
I find myself interpreting the same sentence differently at different points in my life and i think it's absolutely beautiful.

I recently attended a David Lynch tribute screening of Mulholland Drive (which I have not seen since high school) and really surrendered to the idea of just letting something you don’t understand happen rather than scrambling to make sense of it in the moment. I ended up appreciating the film waaaaayyy more and in turn have tried to implement this idea into my everyday. We don’t let things wash over us enough as we’re all too busy trying to react “correctly“ and immediately as a kind of defense mechanism? I urge you to sit with your confusion more often, make a little home for it in your heart and say it’s okay that you don’t make sense right now you’re safe here <3

Sometimes you‘ll gain more insight by simply exploring what you feel as you read something opposed to only analyzing it. Language is not removed from our emotions, it carries them, transferring them through story.

The more I learn, the more I recognize the impossibility of describing, categorizing, and creating a holistic narrative out of life and experience. Applicable to so many fields of study such as linguistics, anthropology, history, philosophy. Granted I’m not a stem person but even within the beauty of those patterns and machinations in mathematics I feel there is something divinely random and unknowable. This idea doesn't make me hopeless. I find the process of capturing this ineffability beautiful.

It's not in our hands sometimes but it's not cool to be surrounded by people who don't take anything seriously

Y'all ever write a word and suddenly it looks wrong? Like, the word just looks unusual. Then you cross it out and write it again but it's still the same cause the spelling is right but it looks so wrong! And so you repeat, but it remains the same and at that point you're agitated! What the actual fuck is wrong with me!
And so you just ignore it and continue writing but it still bothers you. You look in the dictionary and the spelling is still the same and the word still looks wrong and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.
