Ellipse is my favorite album of any musical artist ever.
“I want to bend in a thousand directions
Like the sun does
Like love does
Like time stopped
So the hands of the clock could hold each other” —Andrea Gibson, “Andrew” (via peacelovequeer)

“I’m not fascinated by people who smile all the time. What I find interesting is the way people look when they are lost in thought, when their face becomes angry or serious, when they bite their lip, the way they glance, the way they look down when they walk, when they are alone and smoking a cigarette, when they smirk, the way they half smile, the way they try and hold back tears, the way when their face says they want to say something but can’t, the way they look at someone they want or love… I love the way people look when they do these things. It’s… beautiful.”

“I put my hand on the doorknob because I thought maybe her hand was on the doorknob on the other side.”

“We clutter the earth with our inventions, never dreaming that possibly they are unnecessary - or disadvantageous. We devise astounding means of communication, but do we communicate with one another? We move our bodies to and fro at incredible speeds, but do we really leave the spot we started from? Mentally, morally, spiritually, we are fettered. What have we achieved in mowing down mountain ranges, harnessing the energy of mighty rivers, or moving whole populations about like chess pieces, if we ourselves remain the same restless, miserable, frustrated creatures we were before? To call such activity progress is utter delusion. We may succeed in altering the face of the earth until it is unrecognizable even to the Creator, but if we are unaffected wherein lies the meaning?”
—Henry Miller
TONIGHT IS A DOCTOR WHO NIGHT AND I’LL HAVE IT NO OTHER WAY.
“
So this is winter—-
and what remains of the world
now that autumn has left us,
gone underground with the
once luminous grasses and the husks
and seeds of all the left-behinds.
This is the cold season.
Learn to endure it.
Winter teaches us to love the long
liturgies of ice, the sudden stopping of water
before the black flock of birds
lifts blindly off the pond.

La Vie en Rose

La vie en rose - Edith Piaf
Life is great.
I’ve got a family that really is a family, three best friends who I’m never letting go of, and a girlfriend who gives me butterflies every time I think about her. On top of that, I’m content with where I am and where I am going in this life. I don’t have everything, but I have what counts.

“Intimacy is based on shared vulnerability… nothing deepens intimacy like the experiences that we share when we feel flayed, with our skins off, scared and vulnerable, and our partner is there with us, willing to share in the scary stuff.”
—Dossie Easton & Catherine A. Liszt (via -cream-and-sugar)
