The light is pale and thin, like you.

Time has stopped being relevant to me, I have ceased any futile attempts to understand how it works, and why it works in the ways that it does, only knowing that that it is passing frighteningly fast, and I have no idea what it is that I'm doing for most of it.
I'm constantly reflecting and dreaming and wondering, and sometimes, on a good day, I feel infinitely young and excited and in awe of the gorgeous possibilities of 'My Whole Entire Life Ahead Of Me' and then other, admittedly not so good days, it's like a cave, overwhelmingly close, claustrophobic and closing in far, far too quickly.
And then on the best days, I become blissfully unaware of anything except that exact perfect moment, like that day at 5.25 just before we ran to catch your 5.30 bus, when all I could see was the pink sky, the rooftops,
 and your silhouette against it all.

  1. Last week I had one of these perfect moments as well. I was in Prague, it was 5am, I was going home from a club all by myself. I lit a cigarette, put some music on and just walked through unknown streets. I didn't care about other people around me, I walked, almost danced and just felt happiness inside me. I was in peace with myself and everything around me.
    Moments like these keep me going through life. If only I could remember them, when the darkness falls. <3

  2. I know that feeling all too well, I don't know how to get away from it.

  4. Oh gorgeous you!
    And thanks for the different perspective! I sometimes almost drown in thoughts of the world becoming either smaller and smaller, or so completely infinitely fragmented that there is no way to grasp basically anything... and so it's so good to be reminded of that moment…"just before we ran to catch your 5.30 bus"..

    1. thank you, yes I think it's the fleeting moments that at the time seem inconsequential that are the most important in the end x

  7. I like the feeling one gets when the world is rushing around while one is at a total standstill.
    My perfect moment during the day is at 3:13 PM
