You have a beautiful smile, my love.. I cherish and adore it with all of me - eUë

There’s a strange agony in your childhood best friends moving. Watching chosen snippets. Becoming happier, blossoming with new people, growing

Knowing their growth occurs through distance. Knowing you’re a chain to the past. Knowing home isn’t the same place.

I’m so happy for her. I’m beyond proud of her. I wish I knew who she is now instead of stretching the memory of a child onto a stranger

[tongueofgod]

slowly disintegrating friendships are like. i miss you. i love you. i wish so many good things for you. i wish for all the love u can get. i wish i was eating chaat with u rn. i hope we never meet again.

[petrichara]

Yes I would do anything for you. No I can’t hold eye contact with you. I wish you goodness but I can’t be around to see it. I want you to miss me like I miss you. I love how you know me. I hate how you know me. I wonder if we’re thinking about each other at the same time. When did we become a thing of the past. Why are all of our memories from so long ago, why is our history the only thing we have in common. Your happiness heals. Your happiness hurts. I love you. I resent you.

Are you emotionally overwhelmed and mentally drained and a mess every alternate night and being crushed under the pressure of it all or are you not a student anymore?

in this new year I want you to be alright. I hope you move out. I hope you have enough money to feel safe. I hope you abandon shame and forgive yourself. I hope you get enough sleep and some good news. I hope you laugh a lot and the heaviness of the world eases a bit. I wish you to be alright.

the romantic urge to hold their hands and never let go.

I don't know where my road is going, but I know that I walk better when I hold your hand.

[loveyourlovelysoul]

It's okay to be lousy or fail at something: the failure of today is never the failure of tomorrow. Not being perfect is liberating so keep trying, keep showing your limits and never give up: this is a way to become better and failing everyday less at anything you are attempting to do. Don't be scared of other's judgement: only take what resonates and helps you grow, and leave out the judgement of people who are only projecting onto you, envious of your courage in simply being yourself.

There's no one that has never failed at something some day, and there will never be. The fear of not being ready is an excuse: we'll never try anything cause we'll never be 100% certain we'll be ready for and successful at whatever we want to do (it's not a matter of being perfect either, it's plain insecurity). The moment we have this fear, we need to realize that we are actually ready. So we may even try and take a leap. And if it won't go as we'd like it to, we can try again. It won't be the end of the world, nor ours.

our blues…

stop like I had high expectations but somehow it’s even more lovely than I thought

It’s just like a warm summer breeze

[highflyerwings]

I love Our Blues because these people feel real. They’re all grown adults who have absolutely nothing figured out, and that’s REAL. That’s NORMAL. This is what real life looks like and it’s refreshing to see that, especially in a kdrama.

With the exception of the 2 teens, they’re all people in their 30/40s+, all of them at varying stages in their lives, and all of them fucking messy and damaged and struggling.

I’m seeing a lot of people centering each storyline around the romantic relationships, hoping the sad single characters are able to settle down and find love in the end, and I’m sorry but that’s wildly overlooking a huge aspect of what makes this show so amazing. It’s not just about romantic relationships. It’s about friendship, and family, and personal emotional trauma and baggage, and each character has their own story.

The biggest message this show is offering me so far is that everyone is winging it in life (facts), and there are two sides to every story. We’re all literally stumbling our way through life, and there’s no right or wrong journey. But we each have a responsibility to hold ourselves accountable for the life we either choose or are forced to share with others. No one is blameless. Everyone fucks up, and hurts, and hurts people they care about, and idk I just really like watching that aspect of life addressed so honestly.
