Our story isn’t a file of photographs faces laughing under green leaves or snowlit doorways, on the verge of driving away, our story is not about women victoriously perched on the one sunny day of the conference, nor lovers displaying love:
Our story is of moments when even slow motion moved too fast for the shutter of the camera: words that blew our lives apart, like so, eyes that cut and caught each other, mime of the operating room where gas and knives quote each other moments before the telephone starts ringing: our story is how still we stood, how fast.
“I don’t believe it was ever meant to be easy and that’s such a liberating truth.”

“Always have too many things to do. Too many books to read. Too many places to see. Too many stories to write. It is a sad day when you wake up with nothing else to do, and the question on your lips, “What now?”

“You have to find the right distance between people. Too close, and they overwhelm you. Too far, and they abandon you.”
—Hanif Kureishi (via thatkindofwoman)
