“i suspect the truth was that it was like a lot of things at that age: you don’t have any clear reason, you just do it. you do it because you think it might get a laugh, or because you want to see if it’ll cause a stir. and when you’re asked to explain it afterwards, it doesn’t seem to make any sense. we’ve all done things like that.”

what always helps
i’ve spent the majority of this week not in a corner - so as to narrowly avoid a cliché - but in an empty room. if there’s one thing i absolutely hate about the writing process, it’s the beginning. i only blindly direct myself into a corner while i’m already writing something - which, in my experience, is much less intimidating than being in an empty room. when i’m in...

amaeru:
Alexithymia from the Ancient Greek words λέξις (lexis, “diction”, “word”) and θυμός (thumos, “soul, as the seat of emotion, feeling, and thought”) modified by an alpha-privative—literally “without words for emotions“—is a term coined by psychotherapist Peter Sifneos in 1973 to describe a state of deficiency in understanding, processing, or describing emotions.

105, EXTERIOR: STREET IN OXFORD - DAY
DAVID Jenny…I can see my behaviour must have been…confusing. But we’ve never sat down and had a proper chat about it. About the whys and wherefores. They can wait. The important thing is that you’re still my Minnie Mouse, and I love you, and you had fun. You know you had fun.
JENNY Yes. I had fun. But I had fun with the wrong person, at all the wrong times. And I...

“what has the actual lapse of time got to do with it? it is only shallow people who require years to get rid of an emotion. a man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure. i don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions. i want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.”
