Now that I’m just getting into The X-files and that legendary Gillian Anderson + David Duchovny chemistry, this is feeling like heartbreak...it’s that great things come to an end feeling.

where we break when our hearts are strong enough 

we can bow because our musics warmer than blood 

where we see enough to follow 

we can hear when we are hollow

where we keep the light we’re given 

we can lose and call it living

10,000 miles | Mary Chapin Carpenter 

from Fly Away Home 

Fare thee well My own true love Farewell for a while I'm going away But I'll be back Though I go 10,000 miles 10,000 miles My own true love 10,000 miles or more The rocks may melt And the seas may burn If I should not return Oh don't you see That lonesome dove Sitting on an ivy tree She's weeping for Her own true love As I shall weep for mine Oh come ye back My own true love And stay a while with me If I had a friend All on this earth You've been a friend to me

I have loved this movie since I watched it in the cinema with Ate Pau when I was 10. And every time I catch it by chance on cable, I still cry at the end. It’s the perfect blend of natural beauty and melancholy. 

For some reason, I’ve been wanting to watch this again recently. There’s something in the air during the -ber months (or autumn on the other side of the world) that makes the mood perfect for watching this film.

It has always been bromance to me but I am suddenly seeing the romance.

And it’s okay. It’s actually more than okay.

Lea Salonga nostalgia. I loved singing along to this song when I was a kid. I remember my sister had her 1993 album (cassette tape) with this song in it, and it was one of our favorites.

A lot of children of this generation have their entire lives made public before they have a say about what they would want. I think it should always be a choice. I love social media, and I love what it can do and how it brings people together, but used in the wrong way, it’s incredibly dangerous. And, increasingly, our attention is our most important resource. Before the press tour, I deleted my e-mail app from my phone and really tried to create serious boundaries from it, because it is addictive. We need to make sure that we are using technology, and technology is not using us.

I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.

Elie Wiesel, from his 1986 Nobel Peace Prize speech (via theclassicsreader)
