It’s okay...

Why is love intensified by absence?

Audrey Niffenegger, from 'The Time Traveler's Wife'

“Everything is gone and for the first time ever, really, she’s just on her own. She could totally disappear into the ether and that would be that. She doesn’t have to return to anything. Which is a pretty terrifying place to be when you’ve been attached to something for so long and now you’re suddenly floating” (Scarlett Johansson, 2019).

"And when I turned to face grief, I saw that it was just love in a heavy coat."

okay but why do I feel like 'soft dark-hair guy who almost exclusively wears flannels' is a sitcom magic formula?

I mean

(And he doesn't wear that much flannels but he's the OG still)

“You are running away from everyone who loves you, from your family, from old lovers, from friends. They run after you with accumulations of a former life, copper earrings, plates of noodles, banners of many lost revolutions. You love to say the trees are naked now because it never happens in your country. This is a mystery from which you will never recover. And yes, the trees are naked now, everything that still breathes in them lies silent and stark and waiting. You love October most of all, how there is no word for so much splendor. This, too, is a source of consolation. Between you and memory everything is water. Names of the dead, or saints, or history. There is a realm in which —no, forget, it, it’s still too early to make anyone understand. A man drives a stake through his own heart and afterwards the opposite of nostalgia begins to make sense: he stops raking the leaves and the leaves take over and again he has learned to let go.”

— Eric Gamalinda; “The Opposite Of Nostalgia” (via commovente)
