Javier Mayoral, 'David Lynch, 2023 Source I might not always have understood many of Lynch's films but I always respected him for being himself in a system not always friendly to people with weird idiosyncrasies. While it might be conventional, I still think 'Elephant Man' was his most coherent and accessible film and it remains my favorite of his work (still haven't gotten around to watching any of Twin Peaks). I'm sorry we won't see another cinematic missive from him again.

1/25/24 - Europe was erased from existence.

After a while you learn the subtle difference Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,

And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning And company doesn’t mean security.

And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts And presents aren’t promises,

And you begin to accept your defeats With your head up and your eyes open With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child,

And you learn to build all your roads on today Because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.

After a while you learn… That even sunshine burns if you get too much.

So you plant your garden and decorate your own soul, Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.

And you learn that you really can endure…

That you really are strong

And you really do have worth…

And you learn and learn…

With every good-bye you learn.

'You Learn' by Jorge Luis Borges

Steven was a wonderful writer, friend, and confidant. The fandom and society at large has lost one of our greats. Steven's work has meant a lot to me for years and I know we will all miss learning from him. This loss is heartbreaking. Rest in Peace, Cap.

On a more serious, personal note...

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I lost you.

I was looking through some old photos saved to my computer and I saw some of us. I was taking selfies on my laptop and you came up behind me, and after I realized we took some more photos together.

I don't think I've ever seen myself so happy in any photo ever. I didn't even know it was possible for someone to look that happy at all.

I still think about you a lot. A few times a week, at least. I know it's stupid, because everyone else has long since moved past, but you were so, so, so special to me. You were there in my darkest hours, at my side when I needed you most. We grew up together, side by side, and I fully consider you a sister. Considered you a sister.

I still have dreams of you, sometimes. It probably doesn't help that I have two framed photos of you on my bedside.

I don't want to move on. I know I should, I know it's unhealthy, what I'm doing now, but I don't want to stop thinking about you. My mind is the only place you're living now, and moving on feels... wrong. Like you're dying all over again.

I held you in my arms while you were living. I held you in my arms while you were dying. I want only to hold you in my arms again.

I'm terrified of forgetting you, of your mannerisms, of your face, of what made you you. I promise I'm trying my best not to.

Your health had been failing. I had had a long time to prepare, and yet I didn't. I guess I just thought I'd have more time. That you'd have more time.

That we'd have more time.

I don't even remember the exact day you died. I feel like I'm supposed to, that the exact day and hour you left my life for good should be ingrained in me for the rest of time but it's... not. I don't remember. I can't bring myself to look it up, either.

I've been rambling. I just needed to write something down, so I wrote this. I wrote it through tears and with a throat that ached with the weight of my emotions, and it hurts even more knowing that you were the one who would usually come to comfort me when I was too choked up to speak.

To my best friend and sister, please know that this year without you has been one of the hardest of my life. You will forever have a place in my heart.

I love you.

Miss you now and forever.
