one thing i need to start living by is “become the thing that you want” if i want friends who throw themed parties maybe i should start throwing those parties. if i want someone who writes me love letters maybe i should start writing letters for the people i love. if i want to hang out at museums and pretty cafes maybe i should invite my friends to these places. and maybe even then i won’t find the kind of people i want to be around. but then i would have become the exact person i want to be around. and maybe that’s good enough.

fatima aamer bilal, excerpt from moony moonless sky’s ‘i can’t be loved, swallowed or digested. must i make myself smaller?’
[text id: this thought was unceasing: somewhere must be home. / the spine-folding need to belong was woven into my skin. no amount of clawing could ever get it out. / it scared me that even at my very best, i wouldn’t be able to stop myself from being fond of the tearing. isn't mauling touch? the warmth of a hand close to you, right before is tears you apart, is something.]

not to be dramatic but I would literally collapse to my knees and propose on the spot if someone gave me a handwritten love letter

I think Hayao Miyazaki is so right. Romanticizing is the only way to live better and peaceful life. You gotta have to romanticize every small thing in your life. Just like how they romanticize everything in his studio ghibli movies. Every small detail from like kitchen to work, to school or college, to even going on a bus.
