a lot of people are afraid to admit that terrible people can make good art (music, literature, visual art) and I think it’s why so many people go down swinging to defend their favorite artist when they’re unmasked as being a horrible human being or when their controversies and problematic behavior is being addressed. like yes, that was a good book and yes, the author is a horrible person. these two facts do not necessarily contradict each other. this isn’t true for JK Rowling, who writes absolute garbage and hates trans people and pretty much every minority imaginable.

When Dostoevsky said, "Pain changes you, but it teaches. That is its mercy." but Kafka said, "Pain changes nothing. It just repeats itself until you forget who you were before it started."

True love goes beyond just feelings and physical attraction.

i know what's in my heart, i need to bring it back into my chest
