yes i am smart. yes i am stupid. it’s called being flexible.
“But everything is absurd, and dreaming least of all.”
— Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet (via freelance-philosopher)
“I have a real soft spot for those old school romantic jazz standards and ballads. And I have a lot of sweet memories of those, too. The first time being in love and sharing those songs with somebody.”

I don’t believe I will ever marry. I’m happy as I am, and love my liberty too well to be in any hurry to give it up. You will care for somebody, and you’ll love him tremendously, and live and die for him. I know you will, it’s your way, and you will and I’ll watch.
Little Women (2019) dir. Greta Gerwig

I have a secret, and I can’t tell anybody else. Sophie…you’re knocked up? No, no, no. I’ve invited my dad to my wedding. You are joking. You found him at last? No. No, no, no, no, no. Not exactly.

Alex sits, trying for a long moment to absorb it, and says, “I’ve never … I haven’t been through anything like that,” he says, voice rough. “But I’ve always felt it, in him. There’s this side of him that’s … unknowable.” He takes a breath. “But the thing is, jumping off cliffs is kinda my thing. That’s the choice. I love him, with all that, because of all that. On purpose. I love him on purpose.”

Anyway, isn’t it weird how you can love a voice
my mom says she’s not a hugger. but when i put my arms around her on a gloomy day or after bad news she’s the last to let go. my dad says he doesn’t want gifts on his birthday, but i see the way his face light up when i get him a card with a nice message and a box full of chocolate anyway. he’s just a kid inside, still. it makes him giddy. my brother never says i love you. but when i tell him “i just need to finish the dishes before i vacuum!” he wordlessly goes to vacuum the entire house before i can, and if he sees me struggle with a wrapper or a jar or a bottle he mutters ‘c’mere’ and opens it for me without even sparing me a glance. the thing is, people love you quietly, and you love them quietly, and the air is buzzing with tiny but grand gestures & once you look for them, you find them everywhere. i think that’s really beautiful.
But it would’ve been fun, if you would’ve been the one.
