I saw this movie Total Eclipse (1995) -you can't say no to a twink Leo. His and Verlaine's volatile and scandalous relationship was really fascinating. Verlaine left his wife, shot Rimbaud, went to prison - they really dated, like really dated, back in the 1870s.
This sent me down a rabbit hole into Arthur Rimbaud's literary works and how their relationship had an impact on what they wrote.
Then I came across this quote by Rimbaud "The only unbearable thing is that nothing is unbearable."
It feels both pessimistic and optimistic at the same time.
But I also wonder, once you know all the real, messy stuff, you just develop a threshold for it. It becomes normal to you,even if it might still feel wild and electric to others. Or is that just what growing older (or deeper) looks like?

I've looked for this movie and I still can't find it.. 😩
On the other hand, I have started Hannibal~
And no, growing older does not thin the resistance or threshold of the unbearable.. it's experiencing the unbearable.. and trauma has no age restriction or cap.
To say that "the only unbearable thing is that nothing is unbearable" in my opinion, comes from someone who had survived a life of suffering and still sees the painful beauty in it.
