Accumulation.

i've never felt young lol i was 14 feeling like a three times divorced woman

Someone being patient with you is one of the softest forms of love

so much about learning is finding comfort in displacement. knowing how to not know. knowing how to become something that has not yet been

Ocean Vuong really said They say nothing lasts forever but they are just scared it will last longer than they can love it, and Mikko Harvey really said The number of hours we have together are actually not so large. Please linger near the door uncomfortably instead of just leaving. Please forget your scarf in my life and come back for it later, and Niall Williams really fucking said, It’s because people are so perishable. That’s the thing. Because for everyone you meet there is a last moment, there will be a last moment when your hand slips from theirs, and everything ripples outwards from that, the last firmness of a hand in yours that every moment after becomes a little less firm until you look down at your own hand and try to imagine just what it felt like before their hand slipped away. And you cannot. You cannot feel them. And then you cannot quite see them, there’s blurry bits, like you’re looking through this watery haze, and you’re fighting to see, you’re fighting to hold on, but they are perishing right before your eyes, and right before your eyes they are becoming that bit more ghost.
