You listen to the sound of the tide starting to rise. The stranger is there on the bed, in the white expanse of white sheets. The whiteness makes her shape look darker, more present than an animal presence, suddenly deserted by life, more present than the presence of death. Duras, The Malady of Death Some stills from Malady, a privately commissioned film I made for a wonderful patron, based upon the quoted Duras text.

things that make me giddy and happy: sunday morning brunch, chocolate kisses, puppy kisses, not being able to put a book down because it’s so good, when people say they like my smile, holding hands, forehead kisses, spaghetti, when someone looks me in the eyes while talking to me, bubble baths, good spotify playlist, pretty sunsets, pretty sunrises, the full moon, long walks, laughing till my tummy hurts, long hugs with people you care about, quiet i love yous, loud i love yous, the north shore of hawaii, cinnamon rolls on my birthday, strawberry ice cream, picking blue berries, waking up in the mountains, chaco tan lines, really good movies, driving alone and singing really loud, twinkle, the moment i realized my sister was my best friend, looking at the stars and realizing i could totally do anything i set my mind to, realizing i’m loved by many, knowing that i have a chance to make an impact in this world.

Islamic Geometric Patterns

You have to stop believing that you need other people’s permission to be okay with yourself. That however you do or don’t align with what other people value determines your worth. That however the world does or doesn’t show you kindness is a direct reflection of how much you deserve it. You have to be kind to yourself. Even, and probably most especially, when it seems least deserved.
