set yourself on fire
isabela, twenty.
reality continues to ruin my life.

"If something burns your soul with purpose and desire, it’s your duty to be reduced to ashes by it."
❝ absence / absence

But isn’t desire always the same, whether the object is present or absent? Isn’t the object always absent? —This isn’t the same languor: there are two words: Pothos, desire for the absent being, and Himéros, the more burning desire for the present being. ❞

— Roland Barthes, The Absent One from A Lover’s Discourse, translation by Richard Howard  (via violentwavesofemotion)
