12am. Rain poring down my window. Everyone asleep. No noise whatsoever. A brain full of inspiration.

I've wished for a night like this for ever, and I'm not gonna waste it.

"Would you hold my dirty fingers and kiss my alcohol-drenched lips? Will you love my scars and scratches and disgusting skin? Would you love my mind filled with anxiety and woe? Would you love a Monster?"

[ishaans-posts]

The love we gave to people was never a waste . It proves that someone who loves like us exists, because we exist.

Forever trying to reconcile a hopelessly romantic heart, and a fiercely independent soul.

[sadiahakim]

But, dear heart! Don't be so harsh on your soul. We are humans and humans are fragile, we get tired of pretending to be strong. It's humanity, not weakness.

On Sunday I took a walk around my neighborhood and found a bunch of maps for sale! I bought some of the places I lived in France before moving to Paris. I hope that I won’t be moving again anytime soon :-)
