And I'm sorry about your vase. That's all right. That one was a little ugly anyways.
Never Have I Ever (2023)
You're a survivor is actually one of my favorite season 4 lines.
one thing i need to start living by is “become the thing that you want” if i want friends who throw themed parties maybe i should start throwing those parties. if i want someone who writes me love letters maybe i should start writing letters for the people i love. if i want to hang out at museums and pretty cafes maybe i should invite my friends to these places. and maybe even then i won’t find the kind of people i want to be around. but then i would have become the exact person i want to be around. and maybe that’s good enough.

The right person, the wrong time ......The right script, the wrong line .......... The right poem the ,wrong rhyme ...And a piece of you, that was never mine.

"You know, Lenny Bruce said there are never enough ‘I love yous.’ And that has stayed with me through every season. I think I’ll carry it with me, right to that last gasp. So that’s the [takeaway] for me."

{quotes: It ends with us , collen Hoover/ from a song 'Mishri' by anuv jain ///paintings: pinterest}
in the darkness, two shadows,
reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. their hands meet.
love letter to fanny brawne, john keats // orestes, euripides // wait for me (intro) ("hey, the big artiste"), hadestown // ghost photographs - doug and brenda, angela deane // les misérables, victor hugo // achilles come down, gang of youths // how to become a myth, nikita gill // romeo and juliet, shakespeare // lovers of valdaro // song of achilles, madeline miller // i will follow you into the dark, deathcab for cutie // planet of love, richard siken
on tragedy, fate, and inevitability.
oresteia, robert icke // theatre of the oppressed, augusto boal // song of achilles, madeline miller // the book thief, markus zusak // antigone, jean anouilh // revisiting mockingjay ahead of the hunger games prequel, entertainment weekly // romeo and juliet, shakespeare // h of h playbook, anne carson // war of the foxes, richard siken // the road to hell (reprise), hadestown // planet of love, richard siken // they both die at the end, adam silvera
i've come to realize there are only two kinds of tragedies: preventable and inevitable. preventable tragedies are the kind where everything could have maybe worked out if only. if only romeo had gotten the second letter. if only juliet had woken up earlier. if only creon had changed his mind about antigone sooner. if only orpheus hadn't turned around.
inevitable tragedies are the kind where everything was always going to end terribly. of course macbeth gets deposed, he murdered his way to the throne. of course oedipus goes mad, he married his own mother. of course achilles dies in the war, he had to fulfill the prophecy in order to avenge his lover.
both kinds have their merits. the first is more emotionally impactful, letting the audience cling to hope until the very end, when it's snatched away all at once leaving nothing but a void. the second is more thematically resonant, tracking an inherent fatal flaw in its hero to a natural and understandable conclusion, making it abundantly clear why everything has to happen the way it does.
“romeo and juliet were just dumb horny kids; they didn’t REALLY love each other” L + ratio + their first conversation forms a sonnet + they are both traumatized and seeking gentleness wherever they can get it + teenagers can have deep and important emotions too + your high school english teacher is not gonna resign because you didn’t like the play
"romeo should have checked" girl she was a corpse. she was a corpse in a crypt. She took a magic "looking like a corpse" potion and then they buried her and then romeo found her fully 100% buried what are you TALKING about
don’t mind me, just going insane over the fact that in romeo and juliet, written by shakespeare in 1597, romeo chooses to drink poison rather than live in a world without his lover and then in hamlet, written by shakespeare in 1603, horatio tries to drink poison while hamlet is dying so that he won’t have to live without him.
"romeo should have checked if juliet was really dead"
"orpheus just shouldn't have turned around"
"rose could have made space for jack on that door"
The gaps between the sunlight haunts me with your absence .
I wallow in my heartbreak
I’m afraid to let it go
Because it will mean the end of us
And that finality scares me so
Our memories will be for naught
And I can’t— I can’t stomach that just yet
How we are but strangers who once crossed paths
But I know nothing more could ever last
So please bear with me a little more
Until I can finally let you go
love is what defines us
