M-O family portraits from Andrew Stanton.
When things get messy, the messy stay put. The neatfreaks try to piece it back together. And the realists call it a lost cause and get out of there.

We let Willow cut her hair. When you have a little girl, it’s like how can you teach her that you’re in control of her body? If I teach her that I’m in charge of whether or not she can touch her hair, she’s going to replace me with some other man when she goes out in the world. She can’t cut my hair but that’s her hair. She has got to have command of her body. So when she goes out into the world, she’s going out with a command that it is hers. She is used to making those decisions herself. We try to keep giving them those decisions until they can hold the full weight of their lives.

You asked me once if I had ever done anything that I truly regretted in life.
Oh, the number of things I’ve done in the months since then, I wish I could have told you about them then.
I admit with fathomless regret that I am a former fedora wearer. I just thought about it, and I think the last time I wore one roughly lines up with when I started having a girlfriend.
— Neil Cicierega

Ya know, if it wasn’t stated that this was written by a tiny child, it could pass for legitimate, current, cutting-edge poetry.
I don’t know what that says about children or the art community.
Kinda wish The Catcher in the Rye had an ending that told you how to stop being Holden Caulfield and start being able to deal with phonies and not be crippled by nostalgia and “apply yourself”.
That’d be helpful.
Remember that time that everyone told me I was a female Holden Caulfield?
Every day I find a new reason why it’s true.
and what happened? exactly what I thought would happen: something I didn’t foresee happening.
Hello, my name is Sarah, and I just considered changing into clothes I don’t care about so the ones I’m wearing won’t be associated with the memories I’m about to make in them.
