Question 779: If you were going to die at midnight, what would you do at 11:45pm?
Waiting,
Just sent off some art work! Now I get to wait and see if they like it enough to publish in the magazine. it’s only been a few days so I’m hoping to hear back soon!
Question 777: If you had to spend one year alone with one other person, who would you want that person to be?
I want us to become a language
for euphoria, an alphabet of limbs
for euphoria, an alphabet of limbs

Adonis, “Beginnings of the Body, Ends of the Sea” via invisiblestories (via frenchtwist) |
Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.
