…….thinking about this………..always thinking about this…..

The world is violent and mercurial — it will have its way with you. We are saved only by love — love for each other and the love that we pour into the art we feel compelled to share: being a parent; being a writer; being a painter; being a friend. We live in a perpetually burning building, and what we must save from it, all the time, is love.

i don’t think people understand how much of life is grief. not just people dying, but losing the version of yourself you thought you’d become. grieving the city you had to leave. the friends you lost not in argument, but in silence. the summer that will never come back. the feeling that maybe you peaked at 12 when you were reading books under the covers and believing in forever

there was no perfect path. you did not get punished. your life did not unravel when you made a left turn. the memory will always be there. you can visit whenever you want. there is no alternate timeline where you made a better choice and got a happier ending. you were a little girl chasing the ice cream truck, playing hopscotch, swinging and aiming for the never ending blue. yes, the grief was waiting up ahead. but so was the miracle of saturdays in a car headed wherever you wanted to go. enough sky to wrap around every wound. friends who, despite your perennial bouts of silence, kept an ear close at all times.

1. A Tumblr post by @.FairyCosmos that says: i don’t like how endings in real life come on so suddenly without making sense, without much warning. one minute you’re in the middle of something and the next it’s all a very long time ago and you’re a different person and none of it is ever coming back

2. A four-panel comic of simple black lineart. The first panel shows a lounging cat. The second shows a ceiling fan and vent. The third shows a small potted plant on a vanity with two drawers. The fourth shows the top of an open closet. Text on the panels says: It all seems very mundane / but one day / you’ll miss it / when you see the photos.

3. A four-panel comic with coloured scenery. The first panel shows a simple house with a tower on its right side. The house is on a grassy hill, and behind it is a low blue gate. Mountains are visible in the distance. The second panel shows yellow flowers in a green field under a blue sky. The third shows a plant with orange blossoms in front of tall grass under a blue sky. The last panel shows a small seaside cliff surrounded by a calm sea. The same mountains from the first panel are visible in the background, and there are green trees and grass on the top of the cliff. In addition, there is a thin fence running along the cliff side. The text on the panels says: How do you write a love letter to / a place? / A time? / An intangible yet exquisite bittersweetness?

4. a tumblr text post by user ryebreadgf: "let me tell you a secret - sometimes i think this might all be a bad dream. every now and then, when the world is quiet enough, when the yellow light hits the ceiling just right, i feel like a child again.

sometimes i wish i could find the spot where time is the weakest, touch it, tear it apart, and wake up on the sofa, behind my parents' backs where i've crawled after some nightmare. from the tv, a laugh track. i'm pretending to sleep. it's summer. see, the balcony door is ajar. see, there's a mosquito trying to get in. see, my heart isn't aching. see?"

5. a three panel color comic called "nice moment" with a pink rabbit person and an orange bear lying next to each other on a blanket in a field of flowers near the water. In the first panel the bear says, "This is nice." In the second panel the rabbit replies, "I'm already missing it." In the third panel the bear is crying single tear.

6. "You tasted it. Isn't that enough? Of what do you ever get more than a taste? That's all we're given in life, that's all we're given of life. A taste. There is no more."

7. An illustration of a building, styled as a Blockbuster video store, full of people browsing photographs. A blue movie ticket at the top of the frame reads in yellow text: "I spent the best evenings of my life" The yellow text is continued on the signage above the building: "Unaware they were significant"

8. a digital drawing of a checkerboard pattern with alternating white hearts right side up and black hearts upside down. There is reddish black text in a box in the middle reading: "There are happy moments I am too afraid to revisit"
