every reread kills me a little bit more
reread and enjoy <3
[First image description: An edit of the "Oh Ariana, we're really in it now" meme, with Jason from The Good Place leaning against an Ariana Grande poster. The poster has been changed to a screenshot of Maggie Smith's poem "Good Bones" and Jason now says "Oh Good Bones by Maggie Smith, we're really in it now". End first ID.]
[Second ID: The full screenshot of the aforementioned poem. Transcript is as follows:
Good Bones / Maggie Smith
Life is short, though I keep this from my children. Life is short, and I've shortened mine in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways, a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways I'll keep from my children. The world is at least fifty percent terrible, and that's a conservative estimate, though I keep this from my children. For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird. For every loved child, a child broken, bagged, sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world is at least half terrible, and for every kind stranger, there is one who would break you, though I keep this from my children. I am trying to sell them the world. Any decent realtor, walking you through a real shithole, chirps on about good bones: This place could be beautiful, right? You could make this place beautiful.
