When someone won’t let you in, eventually you just stop knocking.

“Because here's something else that's weird but true: in the day-to day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of god or spiritual-type thing to worship—be it JC or Allah, be it YHWH or the Wiccan Mother Goddess, or the Four Noble Truths, or some inviolable set of ethical principles—is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive. If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. It's the truth. Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally grieve you. On one level, we all know this stuff already. It's been codified as myths, proverbs, clichés, epigrams, parables; the skeleton of every great story. The whole trick is keeping the truth up front in daily consciousness.”
David Foster Wallace, This Is Water: Some Thoughts, Delivered on a Significant Occasion, about Living a Compassionate Life

Well, I just want to talk about this because *insert important reason here*Michael Sheen is an incredible actor, simply impossibly professional in a good way... But as a person, even better, God
He literally deserves the love of the whole world, kind, sincere and slightly closed.
For some reason he is unsure, but he is truly unique and wonderful. Thanks to his roles, I understood at one time what high quality of a good game means
Everyone talks about how sweet David is, and it really is true. They are both.
Two brilliant professionals in their field and wonderful people Kind, gentle, wonderful and simple ineffable [anyone]
Their roles, themselves - I'm so grateful for what they do because it's beautiful They helped me a lot at one time, simply by existing. Thanks to their couple, I still believe in love, friendship, sincerity and kindness
We love them and I just wanted to remind you of that ❤️
