State of Asphyxiation

"If I were to write a book with me as a main character...it would be a tragedy. Actually...that’s true for everyone. A novel with him as the protagonist, a movie with her as the lead...all of us...we’re all main characters in a tragedy. We all take things. And we all will have something taken from us. That’s all we can do. That’s who we are. Take and...be taken. Capture and...be captured. Obey and...be obeyed. Do and...be done to. Repeated affirmation and denial. We keep fighting not to lose something. Yet...the people and places we love...will inevitably be lost. We...will be forgotten. Life is tragic. Empty. Yet...even though we know we’ll lose our lives...even though we know we won’t exist. We continue seeking, reprehensibly. Continue hoping to be beautiful. So...I ask myself...which do I choose? I choose...this. I will keep choosing. Keep being chosen. That’s all it is. That’s all it is."
