“No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world. We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race—and the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.”
— Mr. John Keating, from the “Dead Poets Society”

august is about borrowed time, it’s about trying to hold onto things so hard but it’s bound to slip out one day or another, it’s about right person and not enough time, it’s about i wish you were mine but i know i need to let you go

i find august to be so beautiful. there are still remains of summer engraved into the wind but in some time the summer breeze will consumed by the coldness yet warmth of autumn’s spirit. autumn leaves will fall down like pieces into place whilst august will slip away like a bottle of wine.

Messy handwritten letters, bouquets of hand-picked flowers wrapped in brown paper, pastries with haphazard patterns, starless skies, chipped tea cups, coffee stains
