"I was looked at,

but I wasn't seen."

Albert Camus, The misunderstanding.

When he says "ily", but Achilles once said

"I would recognize you in total darkness, were you mute and i deaf. I would recognize you in another lifetime entirely, in different bodies, different times. And i would love you in all of this, until the very last star in the sky burnt out into oblivion."

"Calling you by the devils daughter. You scream and fight. I'm not like him. But you know deep down The blood you bleed is his”

-Bree Murillo

i hope my absence gives you the peace my love never could

“When we lose people, we lose them gradually, over the years, one aspect at a time” - Carolina from The Quiet Ones

"I don't want a next life. I just want a nap." -Clint Barton (Hawkeye Volume 1, 2013)

It's crazy how trauma makes you push people away when all you want is love.

In front of my mother and my sisters, i pretend love is cheap and vulgar. I act like it's a sin- i pretend that love is for women on a dark path. But at night i dream of a love so heavy it makes my spine throb- i dream up a lover who makes love like he is separating salt from water.

—Salma Deera, Salt
