hearing that last sleepy “i love you” before going to bed is a beautiful moment.
Tonight at Walmart I saw a little boy ask a little girl if he could hug her because he liked her sweater. The girl (these kids looked to be about 5, MAYBE 6) said no, so the boy said “okay. I like your sweater. Bye.” And then ran back to his parents.
He said to his Dad “I didn’t hug her because she said no, but I told her I liked her sweater!” And his dad said “Cool buddy!” And they went on with their shopping trip.
If a small child understands the ‘complex’ concept of consent, and the meaning of the word ‘no’, then so should everyone else.
boys love to emotionally abuse you then call you crazy when you talk about what they did and how they’ve affected you
Isn’t it strange that we talk least about the things we think about most?
Charles Lindbergh
Two souls don’t find each other by simple accident.
Infatuation is when you find somebody who is absolutely perfect.
Love is when you realise that they aren’t and it doesn’t matter.
I like cancelled plans. And empty bookstores. I like rainy days and thunderstorms. And quiet coffee shops. I like messy beds and over-worn pajamas. Most of all, I like the small joys that a simple life brings.
I hope you find someone who knows how to love you when you are sad.
Everybody has a chapter they don’t read out loud.
I may think of you softly from time to time. But I’ll cut off my hand before I ever reach for you again.
Arthur Miller, The Crucible
vorfreude
(noun) A German untranslatable word,
vorfreude is defined as the intense euphoric sensation you experience from thinking about future plans and daydreams. This beautiful feeling is a natural reaction the human mind manifests from expectations of future pleasures and joyful anticipations, such as planning a trip, going on a date, and many other fulfilling, life-changing events.
