the intimacy of sharing old memories with someone new. check out the places i visited before i met you. i wish you were with me. maybe we can visit them together and create new memories? look at the pictures of the sky i took before we met. now you share the same view with my past self. look at the photos of my childhood and let me look at yours. have your facial features changed? your smile stayed the same, and i love it. look at my right cheek, i have the same birthmark as my grandmother. this is the child in me that you are healing with your affection. i am glad we met. all these years i was without you but now you know about all those years and even help me to grow. your love took roots in my past pain, and reaches out to my future happiness. please don't stop smiling.

I think it's very neat how none of us knows what's going on at any given point at any given time whatsoever <3

People excitedly sharing their culture with you is the most beautiful thing…. thinking about when my childhood friend drew Mehendi on my hands…. when my bfs mum taught me how to make russian salad….. when a Māori student asked me to come watch her sing…. when an Aboriginal man drew stars on my face…. anyway the world is beautiful and so are the people in it

Jane Austen was really out there 200 years ago writing lines like “If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more” that to this day are still so swoon-worthy.
