Pearls In The Sky.

“His eyes were the same colour as the sea in a postcard someone sends you when they love you, but not enough to stay.” ― Warsan Shire

“The greatest gift of friendship is the love that warms you up inside because you are a part of someone’s happiness.”

— Juansen Dizon

Space in between, the space around, the space in the mind.

Me and the other.

Le Guin forever

« I think what you mostly do when you find you really are alone is to panic. You rush to the opposite extreme and pack yourself into groups - clubs, teams, societies, types. You suddenly start dressing exactly like the others. It’s a way of being invisible. The way you sew the patches on the holes in your blue jeans becomes incredibly important. If you do it wrong you’re not with it. That’s a peculiar phrase, you know? With it. With what? With them. With the others. All together. Safety in numbers. I’m not me. […] I’m a popular kid. I’m my friend’s friend. […] I’m a member. […] You can’t see me, all you can see is us. We’re safe. And if We see You standing alone by yourself, if you’re lucky we’ll ignore you. If you’re not lucky, we might throw rocks. Because we don’t like people standing there with the wrong kind of patches on their jeans reminding us that we’re each alone and none of us is safe. »

The fear that you feel

May seem surreal

But it ain’t quite real.

Anouk Aimée in La Dolce Vita, 1960

“If someday the moon calls you by your name don’t be surprised, because every night I tell her about you.”
