2024 is all about being cozy and saying i love you whenever it crawls to the tip of my tongue
when Lemony Snicket wrote “I will love you if I never see you again, and I will love you if I see you every Tuesday ” that hurt me
“I burned so long and so quiet, you must have wondered if I loved you back. I did, I did, I do.”
— Annelyse Gelman, from “The Pillowcase” in Everyone I Love is a Stranger to Someone (via alonesomes)
“Life is confusing, like one day you’re the happiest person alive and tomorrow you hate everyone and everything for no logical reason”
Could I just say something real quick?
It’s all coming. Whatever you’re starving for, whatever that ache is that stings your bones, it’s coming. The love, the happiness, the adventures, and the creativity that you are seeking, it is all coming for you. Here’s the thing, don’t let your right now get away. The things you find mundane, keep them. Store them in the pocket of your favorite coat like found pennies. They aren’t futile. Do not let them cause you to feel empty and hollow. They are going to be worthwhile. Keep the hunger for what is coming, but please, keep a tight grip on these little ordinary moments that are happening right now, because they – these tiny pieces of this ordinary affair you find yourself in – are the foundation to your extraordinary. And I promise you, if you begin to recognize your right now, you’ll see your extraordinary coming.
