“There’s a sadness about looking back when you get to the end:”
— Denis Johnson, from “Our Sadness,” The Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations Millennium General Assembly: Poems Collected and New (HarperCollins, 1995)
Sleeping in the comfiest bed can’t even compare to cuddling and sleeping next to someone you love
Life is under no obligation to give us what we expect.
Instead of looking up into the sky, you're actually gazing down into the infinite cosmic abyss, with only gravity holding you onto the surface...
We are all in the same game,
just different levels..
Dealing with the same hell,
just different devils..
“Take care of all your memories [… ] For you cannot relive them.”
— Bob Dylan, from “Open the Door, Homer,” The Basement Tapes (Columbia, 1975)
Just know, that there is a life beyond what you are feeling at this moment🥺.
I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.
- Adeline Virginia Woolf
