You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read.

It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.

~ James Baldwin

All I know is that I've wasted all these years looking for something, a sort of trophy l'd get if only I really, really did enough to deserve it.

But I don't want it anymore, I want something else now, something warm and sheltering, something I can turn to regardless of what l do, regardless of who I become.

Something that will just be there, always, like tomorrow's sky.

~ Kazuo Ishiguro

Perhaps home is not a place but simply an irrevocable condition.

And i wondered if a memory is something you have or something you've lost.

~ Marion, Another Woman,1988 (Woody Allen)

being with a man: mid, disappointing, underwhelming

 crushing on a man from a distance, wearing cute outfits and smiling extra bright when u pass them, listening to pop songs and creating fake scenarios in your head: god tier, absolute best feeling however fleeting

[dinkytheinky]

maybe the days we had are gone living in silence for too long open your eyes and what do you see no more laughs no more photographs.

It's always "I miss you" and never "You've been on my mind girl like a drug"

“I think... if it is true that

there are as many minds as there

are heads, then there are as many

kinds of love as there are hearts.”

~ Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina.

dark academic activities (taylor's version):

stand in a nice dress staring at the sunset

move the furniture so you can dance

meet someone where the spirit meets the bones

book the night train (for a reason)

draw hearts in the byline

use your best colors for a portrait

stare out an open window catching your death

sit in a corner you haunt

go to the stone every day, grieve for the living

put the money in a bag and steal the keys

if someone asks you to dance, say dancing is a dangerous game

clean enough houses to know how to cover up a scene

sneak in through the garden gate

cry tears of mascara in the bathroom

wake up in the middle of the night and feel time moving

set off, but not without your muse

have a sad, beautiful, tragic love affair

dance in a storm in your best dress, fearless

sip coffee like you're on a late night show

be fine with your spite and your tears and your beers and your candles

see a film before and dislike the ending

fall behind all your classmates and end up here

[dinkytheinky]

too much self reflection is not a good thing honestly. go outside and plant a garden and then cook yourself a homemade dinner then mop the floors and change your sheets and take a hot shower then you won’t care so much

that old familiar body ache the snaps from the same little breaks in your soul you know when it's time to go.

‘Any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.’

Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Manon, Ballerina

[dinkytheinky]

you can be mad as a mad dog at the way things went. you can swear and curse the Fates. but when it comes to the end, you have to let go.

~ The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

[dinkytheinky]

some things are left unsaid like stories resting on nightstands waiting to be held again, but i will always remember the way you folded me at my corners like there was a part of me you wanted to come back to.

~ Wilder Poetry
