bien cerrado
spanish
el opuesto
“Pain tells us that we can embody its opposite.”
The deeper the pain, the greater capacity we have for joy. I really hope that’s true.
–the violet zoo
tengo hambre
“I hunger for a love that hungers for me.”
Otherwise it’s just wasted calories, like desserts made with fruit instead of chocolate.

no toques
“Alluring are the dangerous flowers. Look. Don’t touch.” People…flowers…you know what I mean.
–the violet zoo
supervivencia
“Survival. Everything shaped to kill. I understand.”
Riding around in the desert cracks me up because every plant, no matter how beautiful, is shaped to fuck you up if you mess with it. And I understand. Love freely, but don’t let the assholes suck the life outta you.
