“We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should.”

-Call Me By Your Name (2017) dir. Luca Guadagnino

“I can, from the distance of years now, still think I’m hearing the voices of two young men singing these words in Neapolitan toward daybreak, neither realizing, as they held each other and kissed again and again on the dark lanes of old Rome, that this was the last night they would ever make love again.” — André Aciman

“Every time I go back to Rome, I go back to that one spot. It is still alive for me, still resounds with something totally present, as though a heart stolen from a tale by Poe still throbbed under the ancient slate pavement to remind me that, here, I had finally encountered the life that was right for me but had failed to have.”

Welp

Newt Scamander Aesthetic.

The houses as things my friends and I have said

Fly Me To The Moon by Frank Sinatra except you’re home with your boyfriend and the two of you dressed up as best you could after he found out you didn’t get to go to prom because you were in the closet at the time, and the two of you are slow dancing in your living room to the music coming from the phone in your pocket

Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver except it’s playing from your neighbor’s radio that you can hear from your back porch, which you sit out on to relax in spite of the loud buzzing from the lightbulb and the hoards of moths that flock to it on summer evenings like this.

Sweet Creature by Harry Styles except you walked out into your backyard to take out the trash, only to hear the undeniable sound of it playing from your neighbor’s yard–from your neighbor’s phone, it almost sounds. You take a seat and stay out there, never mind the humidity and the mosquitoes, just long enough to hear it through.

Papa Don’t Preach by Madonna except it comes on the radio on your very short drive home, so you take a bit of a longer route through some residential roads just to be able to listen to the whole thing.

Photograph by OFFONOFF except you’re listening to it while stuck in traffic during an especially heavy thunderstorm.

If We Were Vampires by Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit except it’s playing on a radio across the room while your girlfriend naps on your chest, and the window is open and it’s letting in the sound of pre-Fourth of July fireworks and bugs and all the cars going by.

Meet Me in the Hallway by Harry styles except it’s playing over the louspeakers while you tour through a museum.

Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles except you can hear it coming from the speaker in someone’s truck in the distance from a park. It’s one of those warm summer days where you feel too heavy from simply being – perfect for sunbathing. Your sunhat is too big and flops over your face, and the grass underneath you itches, but you’re as happy as it can get.

At Last by Etta James except it’s playing as the song for the first dance at your wedding reception. The venue is outdoors on an autumn evening, and the deck dancefloor is yours - and your new wife’s.
