"The ghost of my lost library still haunts me. Tens of thousands of books that cost me tens of thousands of dollars mean nothing to me in comparison to the knowledge these books provide me with. A large group of scholars with whom I used to spend the most beautiful times. Every book in this library took a great share from my five senses, I look at it and feel joy that I possess its secrets. I hear it and am filled with knowledge. I touch its paper and covers and become ecstatic with its magic. I smell the special perfume of its leaves and I escape from this tiring world. I taste what its authors wrote in it and I find nothing more delicious than it. I write these words while drowning in tears. Will the days bring me back a beautiful era similar to what it was? Will you return my library to me? Will my lost paradise return to me?"

Mary Oliver, "Someday" from Red Bird

“i was thinking about how i don’t actually have anything of my own that i can keep. i very luckily have some material things, but every material thing goes away eventually. they can get lost, broken, stolen or just deteriorate, including my body. once i die this will all become nothing. and i was thinking about what do i have that’s really actually mine? that can’t be taken away? and i know this is corny but this love that i feel in me, that i’ve created in me, that i’ve built in me, held on to—it’s mine for as long as i want it, for as long as i don’t give it up or let the world take it away from me. and i really do believe that to love is the best thing i ever did in my life. better than any song i've ever written, any achievement by far. to love is truly the best and most beautiful thing i ever did. and then as i was thinking about that, i started thinking about how sad it was that once i die, i couldn’t leave behind this most beautiful thing that i have. i guess it sort of dies with me. so i wanted to write a song about how i wish that when i die i could at least leave all this love behind in the world.”

one day I woke up and realised all the waiting and yearning was actually me living my life and it’s happening right now and it’s still good even if it’s not perfect and there is no moment when all your dreams get fulfilled and everything makes sense. like… this is it. this is life. you’ll waste away your youth waiting for some imagined future if you don’t love life for what it is now and make the most of it

i sometimes forget that this is everyone’s first time on earth too. like. this is my first time seeing a butterfly this color. but its that little girl’s first time seeing any butterfly, ever. and i accidentally left a bag of groceries at the store after paying and now i’m cursing under my breath and it’s like. there a thousand other people out there who did that today too. and a thousand more from yesterday. and. like. we’re not actually alone. and we’re not actually failing. at least not in a way that a few billion people haven’t before you
