Past Lives (2023)

[danielledeviated]

There's a word in Korean: 인연 [in yun] ⁠— it means "providence" or "fate". If two strangers walk by each other in the street, and their clothes accidentally brush, that means there have been eight thousand layers of 인연 between them.

PAST LIVES (2023) dir. Celine Song

[danielledeviated]

the friend zone is

not a punishment

it is a

boundary

belief of the latter

is rooted in ego

rather than

consent

[danielledeviated]

loving you is like lighting a match

loving you is like lighting a match

there are faster ways to ignite flames

but ease has never satiated me

[danielledeviated]

The more magical a person is,

the easier it is to dehumanize them.

[danielledeviated]

[danielledeviated]

I'm so tired of bearing

The weight of other's insecurity

As the weight of my own flaws

[danielledeviated]

& what does it say

about someone

who will not only lie

but turns it into a melody

& sets it on a loop

?

[danielledeviated]

I just want to be loved with the

tenderness given to

fragile white women

[danielledeviated]

Putting everybody first, doesn't make you anyone's priority.

[danielledeviated]

& even the worst of things,

were the best

when I was with you.

[danielledeviated]

Did you think you were doing me a favor by ghosting?

Did you forget about the haunting?

HOME

You got me leaving the comforts of crowds to seek out your solitary presence. How is it that your lows make me high? When you show me weakness I feel strength like no other. The darker your thoughts, the lighter my heart. Every closed door opens me up to a capacity for love, I never thought possible. I want the guided tour of your soul...not your home.

[danielledeviated]

My futile hands

Grasping once more

For fleeting happiness

[danielledeviated]

I crave the wave of my tears

At night I beg them

To drown out my fears
