Sometimes they are taxing. Listening to them, it takes everything you have, drained. You spend the days afterward recovering.
They are most often a labor of love and hate. Of starting over. Of being crushed. Of drowning. Of torture. Why do these violent and cruel themes infiltrate the top literature and film of our time? Because, even though they are inflated, and overdone, we see ourselves.
And then there are the hilarious moments. Mistakes and ridiculous phrases. Willing to passionately love something, until we make a fool of ourselves. In the end,
it leads to”burst[ing] out with a laugh that fill[s] the room”.
