Imagine falling in love and it works out for the rest of your life.
reading noli and fili outside of class; understanding the anger, the ire; wishing that basilio never threw away the lamp
foregoing the tweed and the wool because they’re just not options in this tropical heat
staring longingly at the textile exhibits in the museum: the lovely piña, the beautiful indigenous patterns
never shy about your political opinion because our forefathers didn’t die for this bullshit
trying to find the longest sentence in nick joaquin’s stories for fun
carrying yourself with pride, knowing that the blood of revolutionaries flows through your veins
desperately searching for more of leona florentino’s poems as if your gay life depended on it
He’s so angelic wtf
"و لو أن إبليس يومًا رآكِ، لقبل عينيك ثم اهتدى"
"And if the devil were to see you, he would kiss your eyes and repent"
