the feminine urge to kiss a man's neck

— Tennessee Williams, Notebooks
[ text ID: I am sitting at my kitchen table waiting for my lover to arrive with lettuce and tomatoes and rum and sherry wine and a big floury loaf of bread in the fading sunlight. Coffee is percolating gently, and my mood is mellow. I have been very happy lately, just wallowing in it selfishly, knowing it will not last very long, which is all the more reason to enjoy it now. I suppose life always ends badly for almost everybody. We must have long fingers and catch at whatever we can while it is passing near us. ]

Miss you. Would like to grab that chilled tofu we love. by Gabrielle Calvocoressi
THE GARDEN
id: Text reads in all caps "I don't thinks love will fix everything, but sometimes I wish there was someone to hold my hand while I sit in my sour little pool of misery, and after a while say come on, you know I will sit with you forever if you want, but I can tell you about a garden where sweet things grow, hanging low because the happiness is so heavy, remember sweet things, and I would say remind me, and he would, again, and again, and again, describe all the loveliness still left in the world, until I forgot about where I was sitting, until the garden grew around us, slowly, so while I was still sitting in my sour little pool of misery, at least the view was lovely, and at least someone was holding my hand." /end id.

“And then one student said that happiness is what happens when you go to bed on the hottest night of the summer, a night so hot you can’t even wear a tee-shirt and you sleep on top of the sheets instead of under them, although try to sleep is probably more accurate. And then at some point late, late, late at night, say just a bit before dawn, the heat finally breaks and the night turns into cool and when you briefly wake up, you notice that you’re almost chilly, and in your groggy, half-consciousness, you reach over and pull the sheet around you and just that flimsy sheet makes it warm enough and you drift back off into a deep sleep. And it’s that reaching, that gesture, that reflex we have to pull what’s warm–whether it’s something or someone–toward us, that feeling we get when we do that, that feeling of being safe in the world and ready for sleep, that’s happiness.”
— Paul Schmidtberger, from Design Flaws of the Human Condition (Broadway Books, 2007)
