i know i keep mentioning it but i really love tumblr. i’m getting introduced to some amazingly creative artists and i’m discovering more authors, books and quotes that i really like. i love the reblog feature so my own tumblr is just a collection of photographs, quotes, videos and songs that i like. however, here are a few that i’d like to share with you.

“She says, I loved you so much once. I loved you to the point of distraction. I did. More than anything in the whole wide world. Imagine that. What a laugh that is now. Can you imagine it? We were so intimate once upon a time I can’t believe it now. I think that’s the strangest thing of all now. The memory of being that intimate with somebody else.”
~ Raymond Carver, Intimacy

this hits home because it’s so true. it’s odd how nonchalant one can act around a person they’ve been intimate with. i know because i’m there right now. i still have flashbacks of what we once shared and i find myself hitting my head against my hand or a book just to get the images out of my head. and yet when i’m face-to-face with him, i act as though nothing happened between us, as though that relationship did not exist at all. someday i feel that it’ll all become a distant memory and the thought of being that intimate with somebody else, specifically him, will just be a fleeting thought. should that thought be comforting? because right now, i just feel sad, someday i’ll just be a fleeting thought to him too and the memory of our intimacy will just be a memory.

We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget. We forget the loves and the betrayals alike, forget what we whispered and what we screamed, forgot who we were.
~ Joan Didion

Yes, eventually we all forget.

i’m currently obsessed with…

... victoria's secret lingerie (i really want to buy some and have them shipped here)
... tumblr-ing
... hula-hooping
... learning my old piano pieces again
... expensive stuff i can't afford
... still being kissed ala north & south

That’s the closest to my idea of love: watching the skyline, making out, making mistakes, making believe desire means it’s with somebody else, then breaking up, and, if we’re lucky, forgiveness that comes right before take-off. There, I’ve said it. What more can one want? A lover who loves me as much as the rain. Rain, and, from the opening credits to the closing heart, Gershwin.
~ The Muse This Time by R Zamora Linmark
