“Your Hand in Mine” - Explosions in the Sky

“ My heart is warm with the friends I make,
And better friends I’ll not be knowing;
Yet there isn’t a train I wouldn’t take,
No matter where it’s going. Edna St. Vincent Millay (via f1shnets)

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer “What about little microphones? What if everyone swallowed them, and they played the sounds of our hearts through little speakers, which could be in the pouches of our overalls? When you skateboarded down the street at night you could hear everyone’s heartbeat, and they could hear yours, sort of like sonar. One weird thing is, I wonder if everyone’s heart would start to beat at the same time, like how women who live together have their menstrual periods at the same time, which I know about, but don’t really want to know about. That would be so weird, except that the place in the hospital where babies are born would sound like a crystal chandelier in a houseboat, because the babies wouldn’t have had time to match up their heartbeats yet. And at the finish line at the end of the New York City Marathon it would sound like war.”

‘There are two kinds of love, mija. In the safe kind, you look for someone who is exactly like you. It’s what most folks settle for. But then there’s the other kind of love. Everyone’s born with a ragged edge, and some folks crave the piece that’s a perfect fit. You’ll search for it forever, if you have to. And if you’re lucky enough to find it, it looks so right, you start to tear at your own seams, thinking, maybe I could look just as perfect. But then, when you try to get close to their other half, you don’t fit anymore. That kind of love…you come out of it a different person than you were when you started.’-Elise Vasquez, in Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult.

You’re in love with my mind.

But sometimes, sweetheart,
a woman needs a man
who loves her ass.

What most people would do in my situation is go to their boyfriend’s house. They would go there and cry and be handed tissues and cry some more and never stop to think that they should really be laughing and smiling joyfully because their boyfriend is an actual physical being on the same plane of reality as them. —Making Love in 2003
