crimson….

sad hymns of the sea, passionate wind-songs in the pines.

I fell in love...

I fell in love with him.

But I don’t just stay with him by default as if there’s no one else available to me.

I stay with him because I choose to, every day that I wake up,
every day that we fight or lie to each other or disappoint each other.

I choose him over and over again, and he chooses me.

-Allegiant

I am….

I am the water

Night Walk….

And the night smells like snow.

Walking home for a moment

you almost believe you could start again.

And an intense love rushes to your heart,

and hope. It’s unendurable, unendurable.

those one or two images in the presence of which his [her] heart first opened.

things change….

But then I realized I was holding onto something that didn’t exist anymore.

That the person I missed didn’t exist anymore. People change.

The things we like and dislike change.

And we could wish all day long that they didn’t, but they always will.

— Sarah Ockler

I can feel this heart inside me and I conclude it exists.

I can touch this world and I also conclude that it exists.

All my knowledge ends at this point. The rest is hypothesis.
