“Sometimes The Long Way Is The Only Way Home.”

I have drunken deep of joy, and I will taste no other wine tonight.

— Percy Bysshe Shelley

what do you mean i can't spend all day listening to music and reading old conspiracy theories whilst ignoring any human interaction? bitch leave me alone tf

this pandemic will end and you’ll claim the window seat in your favorite cafe, stand in a crowd at a concert, visit a museum and make crappy art in the park. sometimes things feel like they’ll go on forever, sometimes bad things feel heavier than good things, sometimes life feels like it’s slowing down and all you’re doing is waiting for the full stop— but just because this hopelessness is all that you’re feeling right now, doesn’t mean that it’s all there is. there’s always more and you will experience that, and you will feel alive again.

I want to write. I have ideas. I open document. I type four of the worst sentences ever created in the english language. I daydream the rest of the scene. I close document.

“I need to stop fantasizing about running away to some other life and start figuring out the one I have.”

Only reason I haven’t gone insane is because I romanticise everything.

it’s just me and my four hundred unread books against the world i guess

Your absence has gone through me like thread through a needle. Everything I do is stitched with its color.

— W.S. Merwin

"You only talk about the moon" I'm sorry, but does it look like there's anything more worthy than her highness?

“Life was easy with you and it came so naturally. You were the extension of me and I would never need to finish my words, as who knew me better than you? You knew your place which was by my side. It is the little things that make the person and you would easily have kept me going for a lifetime. The way you would look at me with fire in your eyes showed me that I was the only one for you. You stole my heart and hid it away.”

— from Al Mujahid's letter to his wife
