Love loves for no reason at all. That is the nature of love. And as a lover, I have an allegiance to love. Things/people will come and go. I will be pained. But with love as my core, my consciousness.. love will always remain. No matter who, no matter what.

you will get the chance to become alive again and again. and you must be there, awake and ready, to take it

the problem is that i know way too much🫠 a blessing and a curse, i envy ignorant people, they live such peaceful lives

The woman who inspired Before Sunrise never saw the movie. She died in a motorcycle accident seven weeks before filming even started. Richard Linklater met Amy Lehrhaupt in a toy shop in Philadelphia in 1989. They spent the whole night walking the city from midnight to 6am talking about everything, and he turned that one night into a script. Took him 11 days. The casting search lasted nine months. Jennifer Aniston auditioned before she ever got Friends, and Gwyneth Paltrow tried out too. The role went to Julie Delpy. Amy died on May 9, 1994. She was 24. Linklater kept waiting for her to show up at a screening, maybe tap him on the shoulder and say “Hey, that was our night.” He waited through the premiere. Waited through the sequel nine years later. Didn’t find out she was gone until 2010, when a friend of hers put the pieces together and wrote him a letter. He kept making the films. Brought Hawke and Delpy back every nine years, letting them age on screen in real time. Before Sunset (2004) was shot in 15 days for $2 million. Before Midnight (2013), same thing, 15 days, under $3 million. That last one is dedicated to Amy. All three films together cost $7.5 million to make and earned $61.5 million worldwide, and both sequels got nominated for the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. The entire trilogy cost less than a single Janet Jackson music video that Kahn himself directed. The Library of Congress added Before Sunrise to the National Film Registry earlier this year. It’s now one of 925 films the government considers worth keeping forever. Linklater turned a single night with a woman he’d never see again into an 18-year trilogy. He just didn’t know the “never” part when he started.

If you are an ocean, stay an ocean. Do not become a lake just because some people cannot swim in your depths.

My grandmother once told me, “Not speaking badly about anyone is the best way to speak well of yourself.”

My idea of romance is mutual obsession and passionate love

know the difference between friendships and acquaintanceships

I think the more authentic you are the more guarded you need to be about your energy in general

authenticity & love are the highest of frequencies ✨

i will always be moved by people who were not handled gently and still learned how to offer gentleness anyway

dance, walk, hike, swim, run, cycle, play any sport, bookshop strolls, antique shopping, gardening, knit, jump, draw, paint, woodwork, pottery, side quest

We all felt when Fyodor Dostoevsky said: “From the outside, you seem mature with a philosopher's mind. But inside, you're just a child lost in a sweet delusion.”

I do not read poetry. I live and breathe poetry. Poetry is not mere words. Poetry is living. Poetry is life.

whimsy opens so many doors

What’s in a touch? In the casual brush of a hand, in restless fingers that drum a beat against someone’s thigh; in the tight hold of their waist or the swipe of a thumb over the warm skin of a neck, making shivers run down their spine. What’s in a touch? Perhaps a confession.
