The sun god, Macuiltonalli sits on his throne, as darkness comes out of Death’s mouth and starts to cover the Sun: a horrible eclipse. Thus, it’s necessary to sacrifice a white man (an albino), who surrenders his heart, his life force, to appease death. // (Codex Laud)
You have to careful about masturbating to your imagination cause god doesn’t know about imagination so he will assume you are jacking off to whatever is around you like dust, a dead bug, birds nest. And if you jerk off to a poisonous bug (or if god assumes you have) then you do go to hell
"You survive this and in some terrible way, which I suppose no one can ever describe, you are compelled, you are corralled, you are bullwhipped into dealing with whatever it is that hurt you. And what is crucial here is that if it hurt you, that is not what’s important. Everybody’s hurt. What is important, what corrals you, what bullwhips you, what drives you, torments you, is that you must find some way of using this to connect you with everyone else alive. This is all you have to do it with. You must understand that your pain is trivial except insofar as you can use it to connect with other people’s pain; and insofar as you can do that with your pain, you can be released from it, and then hopefully it works the other way around too; insofar as I can tell you what it is to suffer, perhaps I can help you to suffer less."

woke up at 4am to this girl across the street screaming at somebody over the phone, telling them over and over to never contact them again, boiling over and practically delirious with the kind of rage that takes hold of the entire body. had to open my window and be like hey hey relax I’m sleeping and she was immediately like sorry :( and quieted down. felt bad when I woke up later! I didn’t even ask her what was wrong…
