The Unspoken Desires

“I opened my mouth, almost said something. Almost. The rest of my life might have turned out differently if I had. But I didn’t.” — The Kite Runner

“I don’t know of any other movie to have that intensity of that love-hate, attraction-repulsion that you have there. That whole series of misoppourtnities and miscues when one is ready for the other, and the other is not ready, it’s just so painful.“ -Molly Haskell

[vivien-leigh]

She had become adept at putting unpleasant thoughts out of her mind these days. She had learned to say, “I won’t think of this or that bothersome thought now. I’ll think about it tomorrow.” Generally when tomorrow came, the thought either did not occur at all or it was so attenuated by the delay it was not very troublesome.

Hi.

It’s been years. Oh, and apparently there’s a pandemic.

P.S. I have added Vivien Leigh and Scarlett Johansson in my heart.

[theunspokendesires]

I  love you.

To anyone who needs to hear this:

When your love and loss—your pain—inspire a beautiful creation, take comfort in it. Take comfort in knowing you are hurting for a beautiful cause. ☺

[theunspokendesires]

A dear friend wrote this. I'm glad my love and pain could inspire something this beautiful. 💔❤

[theunspokendesires]

Always.

[theunspokendesires]

I just miss you, in a quite simple desperate human way.

I will think of you, I will write about you, I will love you until I no longer remember your name.
