#part

“I shiver, thinking how easy it is to be totally wrong about a person, to see one tiny part of them and confuse it for the whole.”

#matingcall

“…have no idea, I just project my awkwardness out like a mating call until it draws other awkward members of the opposite sex out from the bushes.”

#Kintsugi

#Kintsugi is the Japanese art of mending broken objects using gold or silver epoxy. The Japanese believe that when something has suffered damage and has a history, it becomes more beautiful. It is a process that unites the past with the future. A breakage is not the end. It’s a chance to repair and improve. We can practice self acceptance by embracing the art of fixing broken bits with care, love, attention and patience. @walkofshameshop davezackin.com

#maybe

“…maybe the desire to know how it will happen is stalling growth it’s using control as a mechanism to change an experience and in controlling our experiences we play out wounds instead of allowing something new to occur.”

“Sometimes you meet someone and it just works. You either understand each other or you’re in love or you’re partners in crime. You meet these people under the strangest circumstances and they help you feel most yourself. I don’t know if that makes me believe in faith, hope, love or sheer blind luck, but it definitely makes me believe in something.”

#ofcourse

“Of course we can still be friends, I love being friends with people who saw me naked a few times then decided they never want to see me again…”

“I was 18 when we made the pilot for Peyton Place. He was several years older than me, happily married to a gorgeous actress Joanna Moore and they had a new baby (Tatum). He was so confident and very, very funny! There were times when he made me laugh so uncontrollably that we had to stop shooting. He was my first, very secret crush. I was so shy i could barely look at him. After i left the show we remained friends altho we saw each other rarely. In the 70s he was Godfather to one of my kids- the baptism was in the old church in English countryside where i lived with my husband Andre. But in time Ryan forgot. His life became increasingly complicated. In recent years we kept in touch by phone. I hope he will rest in peace. My thoughts are with his children. Tatum remains my friend.” @realmiafarrow

Quote

Ah, fading joy, how quickly art thou past!
Yet we thy ruin haste.
As if the cares of human life were few,
We seek out new:
And follow fate, which would too fast pursue.

See how on every bough the birds express
In their sweet notes their happiness.
They all enjoy and nothing spare;
But on their mother nature lay their care.

Why then should man, the lord of all below,
Such troubles choose to know
As none of all his subjects undergo?

Hark, hark, the waters fall, fall, fall,

And with a murmuring sound
Dash, dash upon the ground,
To gentle slumbers call.

Song from The Indian Emperor by John Dryden (1665)

#quickly

“That’s essentially how I feel about life. Full of loneliness and misery and suffering and unhappiness. And it’s all over much too quickly.” Annie Hall (1977)
