Are you in love? Do you have someone enveloping your every thought? Do you miss them? Is your heart yearning to leap out of your chest and run straight to what it is you desire?
Life is short, if you need some inspiration to go after what you want then look no further:
“Go after them. Fuck, don’t sit there and wait for them to call, go after them because that’s what you should do if you love someone, don’t wait for them to give you a sign cause it might never come, don’t let people happen to you, don’t let me happen to you, or them, they’re not a fucking television show or tornado.
There are people I might have loved had they gotten on the airplane or run down the street after me or called me up drunk at four in the morning because they need to tell me right now and because they cannot regret this and I always thought I’d be the only one doing crazy things for people who would never give enough of a fuck to do it back or to act like idiots or be entirely vulnerable and honest and making someone fall in love with you is easy and flying 3000 miles on four days notice because you can’t just sit there and do nothing and breathe into telephones is not everyone’s idea of love but it is the way I can recognize it because that is what I do.
Go scream it and be with them in meaningful ways because that is beautiful and that is generous and that is what loving someone is, that is raw and that is unguarded, and that is all that is worth anything, really.”
