A Taste of Longing

A French kiss is like a quiet conversation without words. Two breaths meet, hesitantly at first, then more courageously. The lips open like doors to a secret, and the tongues grope each other, curious, playful, as if they want to learn from each other. It is a dance of closeness and trust, warm, damp, lively. A moment in which time slows down, the heart beats louder and the world consists for a moment only of this one feeling. Poem by @lichtkannte

Lyrics from Bob Dylan’s Don't Think Twice

“I didn't see a future in women's football; I couldn't see myself becoming a professional football player... When we were kids I was the only girl playing football. They put me in the referees' locker room, which was a tiny little mess — all things that smelled terrible. When I was little I suffered a lot in that sense, because I felt very alone, you know? Being the only girl. At that age I didn't overthink it as much, but as an adult, you get another perspective and I'm sure it has some kind of impact." Excerpt from Aitana Bonmatí by her friend Maria Rodríguez
