credit: baby I.

I always thought one minute flies by. But sometimes it really lingers on. Once, a person pointed at his watch and said to me, that because of that minute, he’d always remember me. It was so charming listening to that. But now I look at my watch and tell myself that I have to forget this man starting this very minute.

Spring.

Spring.

I began to work as an artist when I began to be an adult, when I understood that my childhood was finished, and was dead. I think we all have somebody who is dead inside of us. A dead child. I remember the Little Christian that is dead inside me. There is a beautiful story in Proust: A sad man whose wife has just died sees a friend going to commit suicide. They pass through a garden and he says to his friend, ‘Look at these flowers, so beautiful. Look at the blue sky.’ Seeing these things, the friend forgets to kill himself. He survives because he forgets. Sometimes we need to forget. For this reason, I do nothing, and I only wait to die. We must be friendly with dying. To be alive is to be honest.

Tôi bắt đầu làm nghệ sĩ từ khi bắt đầu làm người lớn, khi tôi hiểu ra rằng tuổi thơ của mình đã chấm dứt, đã chết. Tôi nghĩ chúng ta đều chứa trong mình một người chết. Một đứa trẻ đã chết. Tôi vẫn nhớ nhung Chúa Hài đồng đã chết trong tôi.

Có một câu chuyện rất đẹp trong tác phẩm của Proust: một người đàn ông buồn bã có vợ vừa mới chết, thấy một người bạn chuẩn bị tự tử. Họ cùng đi qua một khu vườn và anh ta nói với bạn mình, ‘Nhìn những bông hoa này mà xem, đẹp chưa kìa. Nhìn bầu trời xanh kìa.’ Nhìn thấy những thứ này, người bạn quên không tự tử. Anh ta sống vì anh ta quên. Nhiều lúc ta cần phải quên. Vì lí do đó, tôi chẳng làm gì hết, tôi chỉ chờ chết. Chúng ta phải làm quen với cái chết. Sống là phải trung thực.

Sáng nay mệt quá gọi điện than vãn với mẹ. Mẹ hỏi khi nào về, nếu không ở đây thì Noel về nhé.
Nghĩ lại lúc bước qua cánh cửa hải quan cuối cùng, muốn rơi nước mắt không phải vì cái con người đến sân bay vì bạn nhưng không lên gặp bạn, tất cả những gì bạn nhớ chỉ là bố và mẹ đứng nhìn bạn mãi đến khi bạn biến mất hẳn vào trong. Lẽ ra nên ngồi với bố mẹ lâu hơn, lẽ ra nên chơi với Mít trong khi nó chạy đi chạy lại cả tiếng chỉ để gặp bạn tí xíu.
Nhớ bố mẹ, nhớ Mít quá.

“And there are people who forget what it’s like to be 16 when they turn 17. I know these will all be stories someday. And our pictures will become old photographs. We’ll all become somebody’s mom or dad. But right now these moments are not stories. This is happening, I am here and I am looking at her. And she is so beautiful. I can see it. This one moment when you know you’re not a sad story. You are alive, and you stand up and see the lights on the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And you’re listening to that song, on that drive with the people you love most in this world. And in this moment I swear, we are infinite.”

“Ruby’s first crushes were Humphrey Bogart and John Lennon. She cried the day she found out they were already dead. Ruby got kicked out of high school for sleeping with her art teacher… or maybe her Spanish teacher. I haven’t decided yet. Ruby can’t drive. She doesn’t own a computer. She hates her middle name, which is Tiffany. She always, always roots for the underdog. She’s complicated. That’s what I like best about her. Ruby’s not so good at life sometimes. She forgets to open bills or cash checks and… Her last boyfriend was 49. The one before that was an alcoholic. She can feel a change coming. She’s looking for it. Something new.”
