Mary Oliver, from “Hum Hum”, A Thousand Mornings

[ Text ID: Some wounds never vanish. Yet little by little I learned to love my life. ]

Feeling evil (just wanna be loved by someone that only has eyes for me)

the secret diary of laura palmer, jennifer lynch

you cannot truly be a lover without also being a really good hater. i’m not joking. only people who are genuinely good hating ass bitches can love as ferociously as me

sometimes your soulmate is the local bookstore. stop forcing relationships

i love not being everywhere, i love missing out on things

- Evelyn Waugh, from Brideshead Revisited (1945)

I love grandma activities… sleeping early, drinking tea, knitting, buying ugly sweaters and tacky clothing, gardening, feeding all the neighbourhood cats, sewing… Im all abt that!

one thing i need to start living by is “become the thing that you want” if i want friends who throw themed parties maybe i should start throwing those parties. if i want someone who writes me love letters maybe i should start writing letters for the people i love. if i want to hang out at museums and pretty cafes maybe i should invite my friends to these places. and maybe even then i won’t find the kind of people i want to be around. but then i would have become the exact person i want to be around. and maybe that’s good enough.
