Albert Camus, from a letter to María Casares featured in Correspondance, 1944-1959

Grief is really just love. It's all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go

— Jamie Anderson

i wasn’t made for hookup culture. i was made for the type of devotion that makes my heart ache because i can’t believe it’s real. i was made for soul-crushing, mind-bending, time-crossing eternity. i was made for you.

I think the purest form of love is just wanting someone to notice life with you. "taste this. look at that. hear this song." again and again. until you can't imagine noticing life without them.
