Taal sluit in en uit.
Last tuesday I went to the theater to watch Darren Aronofsky’s mother! again. For those who wonder: nobody forced me to do that. I chose to feel uncomfortable for two more hours, to delve myself deeper into a story that got its hold on me all week long.

Omdat ik de behandelde thematiek even interessant als belangrijk vind.
