--Lauren, 2002
I spent the last hour and a half or so typing up 10 pages of Lauren's diary, (in preparation for her show in June) from early childhood to her sophomore year. Funny ... it's so striking how pain always exists in our lives by taking different forms and inhabiting different bodies. Same with .
You can how your favorite shirt feels across your shoulders and the way a song moves your insides to affect your outside and you can come to a person so intensely that everything else in the universe disappears. , , , isn't it the often root of our deepest pain? What force, action, noun, and verb is so great that we are willing to lose ourselves and be cut down and experience merciless pain? There's no way to articulate why is worth it. In spite of everything, there is , and that's enough.
It's not that isn't enough to ease pain, save a life, or change the world. It's just that wasn't meant to be a band-aid or a medicine; instead we are to build our lives and beings around because throughout uncertainty it will lead us to the greatest good.
It's been a very long day and now I want to get through the next two weeks all right.
"Let me die the moment my love dies.
Let me not outlive my own capacity to love.
Let me die still loving, and so, never die."
