Do I dare disturb the universe?

I'm a twenty something year old creative writing major and theater minor. I would like to think everything means something. This is a collection of music, poetry, photographs, drawings, quotes, conversations, ect. that mean something to me and I would like to quietly share with the world.
go on, ask me a question

What do your glasses say about your personality?

My cousin just sent me this link. This is how her friend’s boyfriend proposed to her. Best proposal ever? I don’t know how you top this one. 

Sharing Poetry: Pablo Neruda, "Sonnet XVII"

Wow this poem is stunning. Neruda knows his stuff.

sharingpoetry:

I don’t love you as if you were a rose of salt, topaz,
or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:
I love you as one loves certain obscure things,
secretly, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that doesn’t bloom but carries
the light of those flowers, hidden, within…

If you haven’t seen this movie, I highly recommend it. I loved it.

I don’t know if I’ve come of age, but I’m certainly older now. I feel shrunken, as if there’s a tiny ancient Oliver Tate inside me operating the levers of a life-size Oliver-shaped shell. A shell on which a decrepit picture show replays the same handful of images. Every night I come to the same place and wait till the sky catches up with my mood. The pattern is set. This is, no doubt, the end.
Oliver Tate, Submarine

Love this. Here’s to making breakfast in our underwear and dancing in the kitchen.

Sharing Poetry: Elizabeth Bishop, “One Art”

sharingpoetry:

The art of losing isn’t hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:

Gah. I love this song.

I remember one morning getting up at dawn, there was such a sense of possibility. You know, that feeling? And I remember thinking to myself: So, this is the beginning of happiness. This is where it starts. And of course there will always be more. It never occurred to me it wasn’t the beginning. It was happiness. It was the moment. Right then.
The Hours

Quotes from The Hours

  • Angelica Bell: What happens when we die?
  • Virginia Woolf: What happens?
  • [pause]
  • Virginia Woolf: We return to the place that we came from.
  • Angelica Bell: I don't remember where I came from.
  • Virginia Woolf: Nor do I.
