I need to change my routine, I need to do something different in order to receive what I want.

one thing i will say about 12h synastry with friends that is neither positive nor negative is the fact that the planet person will see the house person as a totally new landscape to explore and discover basically. and the house person will feel it, and either feel unseen/“objectified” or appreciated and showered with attention.

i’ve realised depending on the planet person, they can either be totally delusional about this and project their own beliefs and assumptions onto the house person, or they can be endlessly curious and grateful to have the house person in their lives.

besides knowing this from experience, it’s because the 12th house is a very worldly, universal, yet unknown and subconscious house. it can be how the world seems like to you and also how the world projects its own beliefs onto you from young. having people with planets in your 12th house can either seem like they’re constantly getting things wrong about you and make you feel misunderstood, or make you feel appreciated, grateful and abundant. because the planet person will constantly be learning about you, and being grateful you’re a complex being while treasuring you in their lives.

“a community without romance risks being brutish and crass, superficial and brittle, cruel and even muderous. . . i don’t mean just romantic romance. i don’t just mean erotic romance. . . i mean the romance that allows us to soften our voices when we see each other.”

I’ll never understand when there’s so much space on a train and an old man will still choose to sit by me. Disgusting and I still have 30 minutes on this train.. I’m trying hard not to be a misandrist, because I know not every man is like this. But roughly 70% is this disgusting and disrespectful. It leaves me infuriating and extremely uncomfortable.

Having strong senses has some cons, because someone eating on the train and being able to smell the food so strongly can be unpleasant. Maybe it’s because I’m vegetarian. I know it’s something with meat and sandwich.

Lee Miller in her only film appearance in ’Le sang d'un poète’ (1930), directed by Jean Cocteau. 

Lee Miller (1907–1977) is one of the most remarkable female icons of the 20th century - an individual admired as much for her free-spirit, creativity and intelligence as for her classical beauty. Lee began her modelling career on the cover of American ‘Vogue’, and was photographed by the greatest talents of the day before going to Paris, where she became a highly acclaimed photographer whose worked spanned documentary, portraiture, travel, fashion and advertising, as well as striking experimental Surrealist images. Together with Man Ray (Lee was his student, collaborator, lover and muse), she discovered the photographic technique of solarisation. During the Second World War, she was a war correspondent for Vogue, covering events such as the London Blitz, the liberation of Paris, and the concentration camps at Buchenwald and Dachau. During that time, she was the only official female photojournalist working in combat areas. (x)

1948: Marilyn Monroe and Adele Jergens in Ladies Of The Chorus. Directed by Phil Carson.

Adele was 31, and Marilyn was 22 at the time of filming. So playing her mother was almost laughable. The two got along very well on set, and she spoke very fondly of Marilyn throughout her life.

She recalled from their time on set: “Marilyn told me very tearfully she had lost her mother (who was taken to a mental hospital), and that, just like the chorus girls of the story, she knew what social ostracism was like. Marilyn was the sort of girl you instinctively wanted to protect, even though she obviously had brains and probably didn't need much protection.”
