“One Day You Will No Longer Be Loved” III Oil on canvas Jake & Dinos Chapman

[sadkniee]

Find meaning. Distinguish melancholy from sadness. Go out for a walk. It doesn't have to be a romantic walk in the park, spring at its most spectacular moment, flowers and smells and outstanding poetical imagery smoothly transferring you into another world. It doesn't have to be a walk during which you'll have multiple life epiphanies and discover meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter. Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don't find meaning but "steal" some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn't make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.

Albert Camus, from Notebooks 1951-1959

things i hope to experience still — earth shattering romance. stronger convictions. letting go of dreams that can only happen when i’m asleep. countless cups of morning coffee in paris. an afternoon wandering the streets of rome. forgiving myself for being 17. more serendipity. more sincerity. more scandal. random conversations with bygone strangers i will still think of every now & then. weird coincidences that feel more like fate than chance. art gallery openings. days spent inside while the world around me gets blanketed in soft white snow. stumbling over awe. looking someone in the eyes and knowing they’re my home. being surprised by how kind other humans can be.
