PRIDE FLAG HEADERS

Translation: “I love you. Infinitely and inexpressibly. I’ve woken up in the middle of the night and here I am writing this. My love, my happiness.”

Vladimir Nabokov, in a letter to his wife [19 January 1925] from Letters to Véra, tr. by Olga Voronin & Brian Boyd

Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, from “Carmilla”

In the morning, when our love is as tranquil as dew

I will think of two entities

Just Me and You.

Our journey, future, present and past

What our love entails, and how long it will last.

In the afternoon, at the pinnacle of our joy

I will hasten to remind you

That our foes will attempt to destroy

That which, we most cherish and unquestionably enjoy.

In the evening, when we have gained and lost

Our love will still hold firm

By any means or any cost

We will reflect and laugh about memories from our prime

And we will cling firmly on each other’s wrinkled hands

While we wait for our time.

You're in her DMs

I have her blocked

You will understand in time

— Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena

[text ID:   Yesterday I advised you not to write me every day, I still hold the same opinion today and it would be very good for both of us, and so I repeat my advice today even more emphatically- only please, Milena, don't listen to me, and write me every day anyway, it can even be very brief, briefer than today's letters, just 2 lines, just one, just one word, but if I had to go without them I would suffer terribly.]

Fortesa Latifi, from The Truth About Grief.
