Rome (Italy), August 2019
insects are just people but small and way different. different priorities in life. different perspective
“We find comfort only in another beauty, in others’ music, in the poetry of others. Salvation lies with others, though solitude may taste like opium. Other people aren’t hell if you glimpse them at dawn, when their brows are clean, rinsed by dreams.”
— Adam Zagajewski, Another Beauty, trans. Clare Cavanagh

I’m a simple woman I think “this is likely going to happen and it’ll upset me” and then the thing happens and it upsets me
When Anaïs Nin said “I don’t want worship. I want understanding,” and when George Orwell said “Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood,” and when Marina Tsvetaeva said “In my early childhood, for as long as I can remember, I thought that I wanted to be loved. Now I know and tell everyone: I don’t need love, I need understanding.”
I’m a simple woman. If I see moss, I pet it.
