“It occurs to me that I really can't remember your face in any precise detail. Only the way you walked away through the tables in the café, your figure, your dress, that I still see.”

How right it is to love flowers and the greenery of pines and ivy and hawthorn hedges; they have been with us from the very beginning. -The Letters of Vincent van Gogh

"Deep down I wanted some kind of change. Any change, whether good or bad, would be better than the state of impasse I was in now."

"I love him better than myself, Ellen; and I know it by this: I pray every night that I might live after him; because I would rather be miserable than that he should be: that proves I love him better than myself."

Before I die, I want to be somebody's favourite hiding place, the place they can put everything they know they need to survive, every secret, every solitude, every nervous prayer, and be absolutely certain I will keep it safe. I will keep it safe.

All of this everything inside of us 💖

Knitting is repeating one step

over and over and over again

It is being patient

It is making mistakes in between

and starting over

It is getting frustrated

It is learning to embrace the frustration of your mistakes,

learning to embrace your mistakes,

It is a conscious choice.

It is choosing over and over again

to continue

to give your best

to complete it

no matter what.

Which is to say

in life,

we face failures time and again

We fail

And fail

And fail

But we learn

We must remember to learn

From our mistakes

From our experiences,

we must.

While knitting,

we repeat the same process of

Moving one needle under the yarn,

over the other needle,

Under and over and

Under and over,

again

And again;

in life too,

We go under,

We feel down,

We somehow manage to

Get over the hurdle,

We make mistakes,

We undo our mistakes,

We learn,

We make a whole knitting pattern

Of going forward and backward

And forward and backward

Till we finally reach our destination,

Till our sweater is complete,

Till we are content.

We keep going,

We keep knitting mistakes

Together to form

Experiences

With some memories of

Past,

A few regrets we try to forget

But are so deeply instilled

That the stitches continues to take their form

And by the time we realise,

It's already too late.

The final pattern, however, is

Everything we ever wanted,

It is our soul,

It is us.

It is enough.

Lambi hai gham ki shaam magar shaam hi toh hai"

Why do sunsets make one a different kind of emotional? Is it because there is an inherent sadness in being a human or does it have something to do with them being a reminder of endings?  And endings, we all hate, don't we?

Hand holding things

[maxlevelshitposts]

Taking a piece of their heart and soul using it as your raw material, cutting out everything you want

I mean imagine cutting up marble sculpture and carving pieces out of it to make a different sculpture

Just to be clear:

I love being destructive
