عزيزي عماد

كنت بالفعل أمنع نفسي من مشاركتها معك لأنني لم أرغب في التدخل كثيرًا

أعلم أن لديك الكثير لتفعله وتقلق بشأنه

eazizi eimad

I don't give a shit that you smoke or drink
because as I said
I prefer a good relationship with someone who does this than a bad relationship with someone who is totally clean and healthy




أنا لا أهتم بأنك تدخن أو تشرب
لأنه كما قلت
انا افضل علاقة جيدة مع شخص يفعل ذلك على علاقة سيئة مع شخص نظيف وصحي تماما
MAYBE I AM CRAZY BUT I THINK YOU ARE CRAZY ALSO IN YOUR 
OWN WAY

AND I LIKE IT
A LOT





ربما أنا مجنون ولكن أعتقد أنك مجنون أيضًا في حياتك
بطريقته الخاصة

وأنا أحب ذلك
I ALSO WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU BUT I DIDN'T DARE


























“Writing alone, by and as oneself, leads to brokenness. Writing together can generate incompleteness. We live with brokenness, but we can also live with incompleteness, a shared brokenness, an open wholeness, that generates potentialities that go past the point of the unseemly for those who impose normativity and even for those who desire norms that will have moved against the grain of such imposition. To take up a special case, we often hear that the university discourages writing together, and rewards writing alone. We have ourselves said this, and it is true. But truer is the fact that we don’t want to write together. We are the first guardians of our posited individual contribution. This policing of our own borders of body and mind—even in light of the history of their violation, often without cognizance of their imposition—cannot but reduce us, separate us from what surrounds and infuses and projects us, and bind us in and to what and how we sclerotically gather under the governing and governance of the individual. Because we cannot bear alone the burden of the loneliness we choose, always in some way we injure one another, injured, as we are, to the fiction of one another, and to the impossibility of one’s completeness, which ongoing injury to the other is supposed to achieve. On the one hand, intersubjectivity can only break what it purports to make; on the other hand, in claiming brokenness we make intersubjectivity disappear. So, we should write together to incomplete each other. It may not cure our brokenness, but that is only because we are incurable, or to put it another way, our cura, our care, can never be of the self, but only of that touch, that rub, that press, that kinky tangle of our incomplete sharing.”

So yes, we are different
Which makes it difficult
But that's also what makes it interesting
At least, I want to try this
This is interesting for me

/////

Dus ja, we zijn anders
Dat maakt het moeilijk
Maar dat maakt het ook interessant
Ik wil dit tenminste proberen
Dit is interessant voor mij

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO WRITE WITH ME MAYBE YOU WILL AT LEAST READ ME


ALS U NIET MET MIJ WILT SCHRIJVEN, ZAL U MIJN LEZEN
I HAVE THIS DRAFT OF AN EMAIL THAT I DIDN'T SEND
ABOUT Michel Foucault we talked about together last time - about time and HETEROCHRONIAS



A PYRAMID AS A HETEROCHRONIA...?
MAYBE YOU WILL NEVER READ ME

BUT AT LEAST I WILL HAVE WRITTEN SOMETHING

ACTUALLY I HAVE BEEN WRITING EVER SINCE WE MET

TO YOU, TO MYSELF

-------------------------------------------------------------

MISSCHIEN ZAL JE ME NOOIT LEZEN

MAAR IK HEB MINSTENS IETS GESCHREVEN

Eigenlijk heb ik ooit geschreven sinds we elkaar ontmoetten

AAN U, AAN MIJ

I thought I would have an opportunity to dance
"we will rock you"
with the boys
someday
it's a pity

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

اعتقدت أنه سيكون لدي فرصة للرقص
"سنهزمك"
مع الأولاد
في يوم ما
هذا مثير للشفقة

"WE WILL ROCK YOU"

I loved the time we spent together before all this mess came into our lives.
I am thinking in particular about the days and nights we spent together between Brussels and Antwerp, holding each other's hands in this Wolfgang Tillmans exhibition that no one can see anymore, buying that food and taking that train together back to Antwerp, holding each other's hands, kissing and laughing...
Seems everything was so much lighter then.
I will try very hard to focus on those images,
And also just simply of your face and body expressing the pleasure of being with mine.
I hope we can go through all this.
Don't let me down, right?
Love

Ik hield van de tijd die we samen doorbrachten voordat al deze puinhoop in ons leven kwam.
Ik denk met name aan de dagen en nachten die we samen tussen Brussel en Antwerpen doorbrachten, elkaars handen vasthoudend in deze Wolfgang Tillmans-tentoonstelling die niemand meer kan zien, dat eten kopen en die trein samen terug naar Antwerpen nemen, elkaars handen vasthoudend , zoenen en lachen ...
Alles was toen veel lichter.
Ik zal erg mijn best doen om me op die afbeeldingen te concentreren,
En ook gewoon gewoon van je gezicht en lichaam die het plezier uitdrukken om bij de mijne te zijn.
Ik hoop dat we dit allemaal kunnen doorstaan.
Stel me niet teleur, toch?
Liefde

في هذه الأيام أشعر وكأنني جرح مفتوح يطبق عليه شخص ما الملح باستمرار.
