Allez Où Vous Vous Sentez Le Plus Vivant 🕊

me, reading & learning about ancient romans & greeks on paper: :)

me, remembering they were real, conscious people with opinions, memories & fears: :|

*climbs out of a hole*

ITS OCTOBER AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS

*just throws on a red gnome hat and royal blue cape and proceeds to run into the woods after jumping over a wall in a graveyard and rolling down a hill and into a lake* tImE tO gEt lOsT

Fall is getting nearer and nearer which means it’s almost socially acceptable to watch over the garden wall and obsess over it again

oddly romantic things i want

to be sat after a long day at the beach, close to them, hair salty with sea water and just know that i'm loved

waking up before them and just hearing them breathe quietly, being able to cuddle close and fall asleep again

running in the rain and not having to worry about anything important

watching the sunrise together

such a tight hug that i don't ever want to let go

getting a song sent with the message "it made me think of you"

them doing my eyeliner for me

reading aloud in the summer evening glow

slow dance by the fireplace

sitting in a parked car, holding hands, as we watch the sunset

"It's pouring, the trees are getting greener before my eyes, I love you. I'm almost afraid of the intensity of this happiness."

Vladimir Nabokov, from Letters to Vera tr. by Olga Voronina & Brian Boyd

When you feel you have lost everything, you still have

books

unexpected kindness in strangers

the rest of the world to travel

languages to learn

animals to take care of

volunteer work to do

the power of a good night’s rest

the changing of seasons

infinite things to learn

billions of people to meet and possibly love

billions of people who might love you back

Needed this today
