La Nostalgie Heureuse

The only calibration that counts is how much heart people invest, how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated. And the only thing people regret is that they didn’t live boldly enough, that they didn’t invest enough heart, didn’t love enough. Nothing else really counts at all. ~ Ted Hughes

I had a dream that’s a bit fuzzy now but that woke me up in the middle of the night with my heart racing.

I was having an out of body experience and seeing these alien sort of beings all arranged together in groups when suddenly I start free falling through all kind of texture. As if going through time and space. The feeling and touch was present it felt very real when I wake up in my bed in a panic and roll around only to realize I’m still dreaming. I focus hard enough and finally wake up face in my pillow feeling really shaken. The reality of it felt frightening.

It is only in the mysterious equations of love that any logic or reasons can be found.

You are the reason I am. You are all my reasons.

They don’t say it but it was MEETING YOU!

-the last of us

[lanostalgieheureuse]

If I’m being honest about who I am, I am a liar, a thief. I’m violent, abusive, manipulative. And even if I got clean today, no one would forget the trauma of me not being clean. But I regret what I said to Ali…

Reducing someone’s life to a moment… an ugly moment. And punishing them for it. That’s what cops do. It’s actually what everyone does.

It’s what you would do to me if you didn’t know me.

~Rue - Euphoria

I had a dream I was talking to this young girl who is well into her pregnancy. You got her pregnant on NYE and she was really pretty, not very smart and telling me how it was just that one time and you’d babble about how much you didn’t want kids. She tells me she’s 22 and I agree I guess at that age you get pregnant more easily. I was boiling with jealousy. I walk with her through what looks like a college dorm, I loose my temper and grab her and smash her head against a door. I apologize right away and go off to find you. You’re laying in a big bed inside a large room I access through a small ladder. “I feel like crap I have bags under my eyes” you say. We lay down facing each other. “You still pissed?” He asks. “Yeah… I’m still pissed” then we talk some more. Feels so unfair.

Do you know why god made you pregnant? So that when he kills that baby inside your womb, you will feel a fraction of the pain that you caused us when you tore our children from our arms!

If someone asks for your patience, they’re asking for your surrender.

Better never means better for everyone... It always means worse, for some. 

~Margaret Atwood

[lanostalgieheureuse]

My communication ranges from being too short or straightforward to acting too impatient or emotional and altogether strange.

[lanostalgieheureuse]

The center of me is always and eternally a terrible pain, a curious, wild pain, a searching for something beyond what the world contains. Something transfigured and infinite.
