Anvastya

[slowlikehoney1996]

If your lover lives in Hong Kong and cannot get to Chicago, it will be necessary for you to go to Hong Kong. Perhaps you will spend your life there, and never see Chicago again. And you will, I assure you, as long as space and time divide you from anyone you love, discover a great deal about shipping routes, airlines, earthquake, famine, disease, and war. And you will always know what time it is in Hong Kong, for you love someone who lives there. And love will simply have no choice but to go into battle with space and time and, furthermore, to win.

Do not confuse continuity with permanence.

Just because circumstances or experiences have repeated doesn’t mean they will endure.

one of things that’s hard about ending it is realising my losses

[anvastya]

Isn’t this my dream life? Where I have the means and the opportunity to slip out to lunch in a restaurant and a glass of red wine while I read my book?

[anvastya]

I used to dream about you every morning and every night but now I’m not allowed to. I don’t know what to hope for anymore.

[anvastya]

miss him. miss waiting for his text. miss taking pictures to send to him. miss telling him about my day. miss imagining the future. miss hoping.

Everything is Erotic

[anvastya]

I will live a rich and worldly life. I will pursue a life of the mind. I will be socially, artistically and intellectually, stimulated and fulfilled on a continuous basis - in any other conditions my very soul would wither and die. I will have a relationship that offers me more agency and more options for what happens in my life, not fewer. I will keep learning, I will keep finding beauty and joy in more places.
