say every dumb nice thing that pops into your head. let every bit of kindness you feel flow into those around you. be the reason someone smiles quietly to themselves. we only have so much time. be immortalized by the comfort you've brought others.
what doesn't kill you makes you weird at intimacy
it’s cause you’re always rolling that goddamn boulder up that hill
How can I begin to describe this tenderness? This reverence?
Shaking hands cup cheeks gently, moments passing glacially.
Soft touches and softer breaths, this infatuation is featherlight.
girls connected by laughter. i think that’s where love lives.
Okay I’ll never have the big house, I’ll never have a dream car, I won’t have kids, but I have love, good love, and I enjoy the silence of nature, I enjoy birdsong, and painting silly things for people that need them, I enjoy making people laugh, I enjoy dancing all night, hair a mess, sweaty hugs from my friends as we part ways, I don’t want the dream life, I want my life
— Anaïs Nin, The Diary Of Anais Nin: Volume Two (1934-1939)
