arabic poetry is so beautifully yet painfully romantic, i mean “they asked “do you love her to death?” i said “speak of her over my grave and watch how she brings me back to life" and “because my love for you is higher than words, i've decided to fall silent" and "it is not enough to say love in Arabic, you must say 'be the thing that buries me'" could have got jane austen crying and shaking

cant sleep too busy thinking about “love is awful. it’s awful. it’s painful. it’s frightening. it makes you doubt yourself, judge yourself, distance yourself from the other people in your life. it makes you selfish. it makes you creepy, makes you obsessed with your hair, makes you cruel, makes you say and do things you never thought you would do. it’s all any of us want, and it’s hell when we get there. so no wonder it’s something we don’t want to do on our own. i was taught if we’re born with love then life is about choosing the right place to put it. people talk about that a lot, feeling right, when it feels right it’s easy. but i’m not sure that’s true. it takes strength to know what’s right. and love isn’t something that weak people do. being a romantic takes a hell of a lot of hope. i think what they mean is, when you find somebody that you love, it feels like hope.”

Green Dresses in Film
Natalie Portman in The Other Boleyn Girl / Keira Knightley in Atonement / Adèle Haenel in Portrait of a Lady on Fire / Kim Min-hee in The Handmaiden
“Like a gemstone, it’s seductive. A green that leaves everyone, including the viewer, aching.”
“The green dress is a statement piece. It commands attention, adoration, and wealth. Its deep green hues are eerie yet hypnotizing (luring) the protagonist… much like how mythical creatures, like sirens whose tails are also green, would lure humans to their demise. Each of the film’s protagonist(s) are drawn to the women, falling for them despite knowing they are from different “worlds” (or) social classes.”
- Rosalind Jana, via girlsonfilm from Twitter
