"And I know we’re in a subjective business, but the truth is, I’m really in pursuit of greatness. I know people don’t usually talk like that, but I want to be one of the greats. I’m inspired by the greats. I’m inspired by the greats here tonight. I’m as inspired by Daniel Day-Lewis, Marlon Brando, and Viola Davis as I am by Michael Jordan, Michael Phelps, and I want to be up there. So I’m deeply grateful. This doesn’t signify that, but it’s a little more fuel. It’s a little more ammo to keep going. Thank you so much." - Timothee Chalamet, SAG Awards, 2025


He comes to visit every so often
I ask him when he will take me away from this wretched place
he tells me that he won't take me for a long time
I always ask him to take me now
he always tells me no, saying that my time will come
I go to sleep and wake up, restless that he will come he comes to see me and I ask him again, he has the same answer telling me, Child you need to experience this life before you experience the next life.
I tell him I'm restless. he tells me that my time will come, I need to be patient
I go to my room and grab a knife. I take it to my throat, then I see him at the end of my bed, he takes my hand, I follow him to his carriage, I step in and sit down
I ask him what's happening, he says that I'm going home
I tell him to thank you, he says your welcome
We go up to a gate and a man welcomes me home.

I wrote this when my grandma died, I was grieving and I didn't have any way to portray my emotions, so I wrote this
