“I wish they would take me as I am.”
— Vincent van Gogh
Pine Tree and Full Moon by Katsushika Hokusai (1848)
No Human eye can isolate the unhappy coincidence of line and place which suggests evil in the face of a house, and yet somehow a maniac juxtaposition, a badly turned angle, some chance meeting of roof and sky, turned Hill House into a place of despair, more frightening because the face of Hill House seemed awake, with a watchfulness from the blank windows and a touch of glee in the eyebrow of a cornice.
Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House
Why do you think the only value you hold is what you can or can't do?
Why do you think the only value you hold is what you can or can't give me?
Why do you think you're less?
Why do you think you're not good enough?
Why do you think these things?
Why do you feel this way?
Who did this to you?
Was it me?
Was it them?
What can I do to help you?
What can I do to support you?
What can I do to fix this?
