elegies at any price
I'm sorry, I don't mean to alarm people—but sometimes it's damned hard to avoid alarming people, if one wants to write in this weird genre with anything approaching honesty. Here, these are reassuring things I can say:
• I'm not in the state I was six months ago, where after every meal I thought I had poisoned myself—this is relative and it's been far worse;
• This heartache is at least the familiar sort of heartache that makes you feel more human, and not one of those alien beasts that coagulates from the void, short-circuits the nerves surrounding your heart, and treats the very idea of your sanity as an absurd pretension;
• I have childhood stuffed animals out here, which are a source of significant emotional support. Anyone who finds this laughable or weird is free to go fuck his/her granny.
Whew! Glad that's out of the way! Happy Labor Day! Let's have some links!
