"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.
"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"
"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."
"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."
"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.
"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."
"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."
"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.
"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.
"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."
"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."
"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."
You live in a society. I live in dirt covered with moss and leaves.
âi know it hurts sometimes but youâll get over itâ
some of the rawest quotes from the priory of the orange tree are:
âNo woman should be made to fear that she was not enough.â Â
âWe may be small, and we may be young, but we will shake the world for our beliefs.âÂ
âThat is the problem with stories, child. The truth in them cannot be weighed.â Â
âYou have not seen death, my lord. You have only seen the mask we put on it.â Â
âPiety can turn the power-hungry into monsters,â Ead said. âThey can twist any teaching to justify their actions.â
and my personal favourite:
âYou wear so much armour by daylight that, by night, you can carry it no longer. By night, you are only flesh. And even the flesh of a queen is prone to fear. In darkness, we are naked. Our truest selves. Night is when fear comes to us at its fullest, when we have no way to fight it. It will do everything it can to seep inside you. Sometimes it may succeed - but never think that you are the night.â
- not wearing shoes when I go outside (a given)
- being a little bit of a jack of all trades, master of none
- singing little songs when doing literally anything just to cheer yourself up
- putting lots of effort into outfits (a p r o n s)
- putting no effort into outfits (k h a k i s)
- baking!!! even when it doesnât turn out looking perfect but it tastes amazing
- having a comfortable work ethic for you and only you
- finding things and going âthisâll look good in my houseâ (itâs just an acorn)
- loving your friends and family to the ends of the earth
- my height (5â˛0âł and shrinking)
- my shapeÂ
- eating habits that are hard to shake (itâs okay to have another snack, call it elevensies)
- messy hair days
- darker hair on arms and legs (and feeling like you donât have to shave)
- having the smallest hobbies that make the biggest difference
- dreaming of adventure, but understanding that youâll find time for it when you feel ready. (bonus! appreciating home after a long day)
- the inherent romanticism of escapism from hyper capitalist societies without the worries of cottagecoreÂ
- distance from social constructs in said hyper capitalist society but not distance from society itself.
- safety in numbers
- a place where the people feel like home too
Yâknow the feeling when youâre walking through brambles and stepping over branches making a path for yourself in the woods and youâre just listening to the sounds of the forest and letting yourself feel small and a part of something much bigger and older and wiser than you? I want that.
waves hitting rocks = underrrated sound
moonlight (2016) is for those nights where youâre feeling a little somber and maybe wanna have a little cry while the handmaiden (2016) is for those nights youâre feeling vengeful and wanna see lesbians take revenge on abusive men
fun fact that many people do not know, princess tiana is real!
