says charlie kaufman, and i am dying because it’s so right, and so rich and big:
To attempt to change the pattern, let me expose the wound.
I do know that it is old.
I do know that it is a hole in my being.
I do believe it is tender.
I do believe it is unknowable. Or at least inarticulable.I do believe you have a wound too.
I do believe it is both specific to you and common to everyone.I do believe it is the thing about you that must be hidden and protected.
It is the thing that is tap danced over, five shows a day.
It is the thing that won’t be interesting to other people, if revealed.
It is the thing that makes you weak and pathetic.
It is the thing that truly, truly, truly makes loving you impossible.It is a secret even to yourself.
But it is the thing that wants to live.
…
…
What I have to offer is me.
What I have to offer is you.
