“You’ve got to be strong enough for love. It’s very easy to be cool and cynical. It’s very difficult to just let yourself go and be in love. You’ve got to be strong enough for that.”

Don’t confuse my hatred of the hyperwealthy for jealousy over what they have. I don’t want a six figure sports car, or a 40 room mansion, or a gold leaf truffle wagyu steak dinner. I want redistribution of wealth that allows for infrastructural support of all citizens’ basic survival needs.

4 types of softness

nostalgic softness - faded pictures in floral albums, a hug from a relative you haven’t seen in a long time, collected greeting cards, baby clothes, playing make-believe, dusty chalk on your hands and knees, stuffed animals that are visibly loved, the smell of old perfume, dreams confused with memories

rainy day softness - the faint glow of a gray sky, reading in bed, warm cups of tea or coffee, a deep breath that fills your lungs, dog-eared pages, fuzzy socks, candlelight, opening the windows to smell the rain, throw blankets

lonely softness - ordering tea for one, people watching from the sidelines, writing observations in a travel-sized notebook, a keen sense of memory, studying body language, music played in headphones, going to see a movie by yourself, watching the world from the window of a vehicle

familiar softness - the feeling of your childhood home, a favourite song coming on the radio, the handwriting of a loved one, dialogue from films that are forever engraved in your memory, the theme song of an old favourite show, driving down a well-known route, being together for the holidays

“Be soft. Be grateful. Anything that is healing doesn’t always glow.”
