I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.
Like… if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you’re a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.
The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.
I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success… I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.
We are never really who we think we are, and thats OK...

Ölüler yaşayanlardan daha çok çiçek alır çünkü pişmanlık minnetten daha güçlüdür.

Güzel bir manzara. Kalbime gidiyor..
Bu gün burada yapacağım konuşmada, sözün akıp gitmesini, kelimenin bir biri ardına gelip önündekini yok etmesini, ve sessizliği dilerdim. Yalnızlık ve kelimesizlik, ve ardında senin getirdiğin birliktelikle, bütün bu saçmalıklardan kaçmış olmayı dilerdim. Kelimelerin yokluğunda doymuştu yalnızlık, fakat kelimelerin yokluğuyla aynı zamanda ortadan kayboldu, sen benim yanımdayken. Çünki bazen sessizlik de her şeyi anlattı, sen ve ben için. Basitçe, basit yaşamayı öğrendi insan. Sevgiyi arkadaşlığı, birlikteliği ve fedakarlığı. Bunlar kelimesizlikten doğmadılar, fakat unutturdular yalnızlığı.... Evet, bunu dilerdim..
İyiler hep kazanmaz, ama iyiler hiçbir zaman kaybetmez.
Well I've got thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade it might be too sharp
I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard
But I may snap when I move close
But you won't see me fall apart
'Cause I've got an elastic heart
"One of the things that I love about it is that it sounds so much like people trying to figure out how to say something, not always doing it, and sometimes doing it enough that the audience understands or the reader understands what you’re trying to say,” Affleck added. “You can relate to that.”
The scene — and the conversation at its heart — also don’t offer any easy answers or neat tie-ups, just like the film itself. “She doesn’t make a big speech about forgiving me and I make a big speech about how I want to be forgiven, then we move on,” Affleck said.
Cennet muhallebiden duvarlar demek değildir, cennet insanların birbirlerini dinlemeleri demektir. Emre bey ne kadar mutlu olmuş herkes onu dinliyor onun şarkısını biliyor diye, onun için bu cennet işte.
Ben de seni dinlemek, seni duymak istiyorum, bu benim için cennet işte.
“You read something which you thought only happened to you, and you discover that it happened 100 years ago to Dostoyevsky. This is a very great liberation for the suffering, struggling person, who always thinks that he is alone. This is why art is important. Art would not be important if life were not important, and life is important.”
— James Baldwin, Conversations with James Baldwin
“Seni tanımadan önce ağaçların çiçek açtığı ve yaprak döktüğü mevsimleri hep kaçırırdım derdi. Resim yapmayı sevdiğim halde denizin mavisini bilmezdim, yaprağın yeşilinin her mevsimde değiştiğine dikkat etmemiştim...”
