“happiness comes when two hearts are equally warm. but there’s a demon who doesn’t allow it. it makes the hot get hotter and the cold get colder. can we survive this demon?” — The Book of Us: The Demon, DAY6

I’m not leaving because I’m scared, or because I think I’m not enough - because maybe for the first time in my life, I know I am. I just love Nick so much, I don’t want him to lose his mom again. So I just wanted you to know: that one day - when he marries another lucky girl who is enough for you, and you’re playing with your grandkids while the Tan Hua’s are blooming, and the birds are chirping - that it was because of me: a poor, raised by a single mother, low class, immigrant nobody.

“Men have always hated us. / No. They just destroyed the warren because we were in their way. / They’ll never rest until they’ve spoiled the earth.”

Watership Down (1978, dir. Martin Rosen)

“Aren’t all the good stories always like this? Passed from one mouth to another with one or two things melting into the tongues of those who preach the sanctified word. Forever lost, altered history. We’re seventy years worth of good stories and for seventy years, many have tried to tell them. But somehow in all the madness of good people and bad people of right and wrong they forgot to tell the story of how much I love you. As if the heavy slope of my shoulders doesn’t write a hundred paragraphs. As if the way I look at you doesn’t write the singular ending. You are my epilogue, my prologue, and every chapter that exists in between. Everybody, sit down. I have a story to tell.”

“This is how you fight back: Take the salt from your tears and amass a raging ocean from it. Spindle your cries into its own axis and unleash a sweeping hurricane. Mourn, and mourn, and mourn, for where we stand, gravity persists. And those with the heaviest hearts plant their feet into the earth the strongest. You are a force of nature, the salt of this earth, and this earth bends for nobody. So when they tell you to move, what do you say?”

—

YOU MOVE.

The world is a terrifying place but at least the erupting volcano of Mayon is waking the ancients to remind us of our place

Another note: This is in reference to the Filipino legend from Albay called “Daragang Magayon” [literally translated into “beautiful maiden”, with “daraga” meaning “maiden” and “magayon” meaning “beautiful”]

She’s a folk heroine, whose love story can be read here

It is said that her lover, Panganoron, is the clouds that surround Mt. Mayon’s peak, while she is herself the volcano, which has always been seen as remarkably beautiful in shape
