sometimes a babygirl is a deranged fictional male character who is covered in blood more often than not

all of those voices: louis' rockstar persona on-stage and louis' profound vulnerability behind the scenes were intricately woven together to showcase the undeniably humane tapestry that louis is. it depicts the full-circle moment of louis going from "i didn't feel like i deserve it" to "i deserve this. this is the first time i've said it out loud" and ending the movie at that, is an intelligent, triumphant cliffhanger, because the only way from here is 'up' for him.

modern family makes me think.... maybe married life with the love of your life and kids isn't that bad. maybe not everyday is eventful, but it's home. because there's beauty and fun in the most mundane of things.

There are dreamers.

And there are realists in this world.

You'd think the dreamers would find the dreamers, and the realists would find the realists, but more often than not, the opposite is true.

See, the dreamers need the realists to keep them from soaring too close to the sun.

And the realists? Well, without the dreamers, they might not ever get off the ground.

“If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more”

Emma, Jane Austen

[heartsborrowed]

"I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I had not waited even these ten days, could I have read your feelings, as I think you must have penetrated mine. I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing something which overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others."

-Frederick's letter to Anne, Persuasion

"You are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged; but one word from you will silence me on this subject for ever."

“What I feel for you can’t be conveyed in phrasal combinations; It either screams out loud or stays painfully silent but I promise — it beats words. It beats worlds.”

Katherine Mansfield
