There will always be something to live for, even if it’s just the sun coming through your kitchen window in the morning, even if it’s just waking up with time to keep sleeping, even if it’s for the hope that the future will be tender, and sublime, and brighter than then all the stars…

Kim Addonizio, “The Singing”, Tell Me

A foul-mouthed anorexic writer with an abusive father.

The gentle giant with a failing heart who reads his stories.

A wild one-lunged girl with hair the color of fire.

The optimistic artist with bandages wrapped around her arms.

And the immortal narrator in love with her.

I think about how hayao miyazaki said that love is two people inspiring each other to live. and to live doesn’t just mean to be alive. living involves finding beauty in the simple moments of being. so to inspire someone to be in awe of the simplicity of living? that’s special
