Nothing gold can stay
But I am
Golden and steady
Its all of me
The flash of gold in the heel of my stiletto
The shimmer that I brushed on my collar bone
The outward hinting at the alloy that is inside
I don’t think Johnny meant it in just this way
Though he knew Ponyboy was golden too
His heart was sharper
The golden ones touch those deeper elements if you let them
I have more proof of mine
But the dimmed ones resist the light
that burns some when it presses in
Casting stones, casting shadows
I glimmer on
Shine
Dimmed by their day
But still gold

Diaries to Nietzsche
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

No Other Choice (2025)
It is only February, so other films may well surpass “No Other Choice”, but I think this is the best film I’ve seen so far this year. And that surprises me, because, it is a subtitled film and while I am pretentious enough to choose to watch foreign-language films, I was also very tired and that was an extra commitment from me. But more importantly, let me warn you, this film is gruesome and violent. There were times I had to turn away from the screen to avoid the worst of it (including some self-inflicted dentistry).
