“Now I think we’re all in this very strange world of desire. We are in a constant state of wanting, needing and wanting. Our relationship to the things we want when we look at Instagram, or when we look at clothes, or when we look at food, whatever, is: “At the same time, I love him and feel repulsed by myself because I love him.”“.
