Never half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing.
I’ve been rereading your story. I think it’s about me in a way that might not be flattering, but that’s okay. We dream and dream of being seen as we really are and then finally someone looks at us and sees us truly and we fail to measure up. Anyway: story received, story included. You looked at me long enough to see something mysterioso under all the gruff and bluster. Thanks. Sometimes you get so close to someone you end up on the other side of them.

The way you slam your body into mine reminds me I’m alive, but monsters are always hungry, darling, and they’re only a few steps behind you, finding the flaw, the poor weld, the place where we weren’t stitched up quite right, the place they could almost slip right into through if the skin wasn’t trying to keep them out, to keep them here, on the other side of the theater where the curtain keeps rising. I crawled out the window and ran into the woods. I had to make up all the words myself. The way they taste, the way they sound in the air. I passed through the narrow gate, stumbled in, stumbled around for a while, and stumbled back out. I made this place for you. A place for to love me. If this isn’t a kingdom then I don’t know what is.

a gentleness that comes,
not from the absence of violence,
but despite the abundance of it.

I’m attracted to the idea of drowning,” explains Florence, “Or rather the idea of jumping off and being enveloped by something, not bad or good, just enveloping. When I was a kid, I had a moment when I got under the water, lying on the pool floor, and felt I could breathe. I’ve been trying to recreate that feeling ever since.” (x)

“She ran and didn’t return. Before I had a chance to wash out her filthy mouth, and put her in a modest blouse.”

  • Interviewer: What about your own brand of music? You originally called it Hollywood sadcore. Is that like emo?
  • Lana Del Rey: I don’t know, what’s emo?
  • Interviewer: You know, the kids with eyeliner and black hair.
  • Lana Del Rey: I don’t know — I feel like you’re going to write a really fucked-up article about me. I’m a little nervous.
