Pour your heart and soul into everything you do and you will find anything is possible.
severance, ling ma
U can grieve and still live life. U can miss loving someone and love others. You can hold onto the good moments and simultaneously the bad moments. You can take the learning from a person you let go off and use it for the better. You can love someone and they may not be the right person. You can wish someone the best and love them from a distance. You can think fondly of someone and never talk to them again.. mysteries of the world…
As my theater professor said, “Smart people can hold two opposing ideas in their heads at once.”
you know it’s really bad when you don’t even want to listen to music
“I hope that someday, somebody wants to hold you for twenty minutes straight, and that’s all they do. They don’t pull away. They don’t look at your face. They don’t try to kiss you. All they do is wrap you up in their arms, without an ounce of selfishness in it.”— Unknown

I forget what the Sunday scaries are because I wake up in a beautiful woman’s bed now on Sundays and she has a vintage pink fan running for white noise & weighted blankets & comfy pillows that she stacks around me while folding laundry. The woods are right outside the windows & she puts on her frilly apron & makes coffee & we go out to a diner or thrifting then watch cartoons in bed in between her cooking amazing meals (yesterday was salmon w/baked zucchini & apples) and carrying in snacks and cold drinks (salted watermelon & non-alcoholic beer w/lime in a chilled glass) while I rest my tired body in her sheets. It feels stupid that I get to be this happy
Pay attention to things that usually pass you by unnoticed. Discover new sounds in songs you like and new meanings in your favorite stories. And then go beyond. Listen to new songs. Read new stories. Fall in love with astronomy and then with painting. Start writing poems, songs, and love letters. The possibilities are endless and whatever you choose to do, just remember to never stop opening the doors of your existence because behind some of them you may actually find yourself.
“Love grows from stable relationships, shared experience, loyalty, devotion, trust.”— Richard Wright
“what’s wrong, talk to me”
“let’s fix this, i can’t lose you”
“we’ll work it out together”
Everything good intensifies. If it happens and you pay attention it happens more. And when you see something beautiful you start seeing it everywhere. You see it everywhere
summer of indulgences. takeout for dinner two nights in a row. glass after glass of cold peach juice. scratching mosquito bites for the sensuous pleasure of it. climbing past the point of my fingers giving out. taking the long way home. gently pressing the bruises on my heart just to feel the twinge
anyone else just woke up one day and realized that our time on this earth is limited and that they really really really want to live despite every bad thing that happens and proceeded to have a break down or is it just me
