Notes and Neurons

rigor samsa

dictionaryofobscuresorrows:

n. a kind of psychological exoskeleton that can protect you from pain and contain your anxieties, but always ends up cracking under pressure or hollowed out by time—which grows back again and again until you develop a more sophisticated interior structure, held up by a strong and flexible spine, built less like a fortress than a cluster of treehouses.
