Some things about ghosts
There is something haunting in the light of the moon - Joseph Conrad
i think that ghosts can and should decay. i think they should blur and fade, like a tape rewound too many times, or a photograph taken out and unfolded and then refolded again until it's nothing more than a vaguely recognizable smear of what was once a snapshot of time and memory. i think that clinging too tightly to a ghost should only destroy it faster, eroding it away until there's nothing left to hold on to.

I love capturing that roadtrip feeling on film from the sunny backseats of my friends cars
hot girls haunt the narrative!! hot girls are dead before the story even starts!! hot girls only exist in the rose-tinted memories of their best friend who really wants to kiss them but can’t!!
“The American past reads like something of a horror movie, maybe even a low-budget slasher. American history comes at us dripping with gore, victims lying scattered on the ground, eldritch moonlight revealing creeping horrors you never learned from your eighth grade history textbook. The history of the United States offers a chamber of horrors, with clergy transforming the Native American other into demonic beings, mad scientists turning state-funded laboratories into torture chambers, and the photographic revolution of the Victorian era turning towards a morbid fascination with the bodies of the dead and the creation of the category of “gore.“ History is horror.”
