Goodthingsinlife - Inexplicable Feelings

It’s been a whole week of “I was never good at telling jokes but the punchline goes, I’ll get older but your lovers stay my age, from when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones, I’m a solider whose returning half her weight, and did the twin flame bruise paint you blue, just between us, did the love affair maim you too, and in the city’s barren cold, I still remember the first fall of snow and how it glistened as it fell, I remember it all too well” being stuck in my head and I wouldn’t have it any other way

Sanober Khan, A Thousand Flamingos

Maybe I will miss the comfort of my own home when I fly away to a new one to make it my own. I will miss how the light used to pour into my room in the evenings, or how I used to take a shower while those sunrays soaked my body more than the water ever did. I will miss watching myself act out music videos in the bathroom mirror while I'm taking a shower. I may miss the cold breeze of early winter and the hot showers I took then. But one thing I know for sure, is that I will try to find beauty wherever I go.

Whatever space I fill, wherever in the world that may be, I will always find things to be grateful for. I will find beauty in mundane activities.

That is the promise I'm making to myself inorder to feel alive, and not just be it.

“Once you choose hope, anything’s possible.”

Having a soft heart in a cruel world is courage, not weakness.

“Lately I’ve been thinking about who I want to love, and how I want to love, and why I want to love the way I want to love, and what I need to learn to love that way, and who I need to become to become the kind of love I want to be…and when I break it all down, when I whittle it into a single breath, it essentially comes out like this: Before I die, I want to be somebody’s favorite hiding place, the place they can put everything they know they need to survive, every secret, every solitude, every nervous prayer, and be absolutely certain I will keep it safe. I will keep it safe.”
