I promise you my pain wasn’t poetic. It was days without sleep and pretending i was stable enough to continue

every Saturday I am like ok today I am going to finish all the work I didn’t do this week and whatever I do I will NOT fall into a black pit of emotionless inertia and do nothing but watch moving pictures all day. and then. well

[the-afternoon-delight]

what a wicked game you play.

the way she’s looking at him honestly me too

My default setting is assuming people don’t want to talk to me

[the-afternoon-delight]

one of the many reasons Fleabag is so heartbreaking and relatable is because no one ever chose her. Not her family. Not her lovers. Not her supposed “soulmate”. The one person that picked her died. She was no one’s choice or option, not even to herself. The way we can feel her loneliness through the screen is enough to make me collapse into a mess of tears on the ground and shake uncontrollably

idk if im stupid or a genius for realising this just now but the wedding scene in fleabag when the Hot Priest says

"Love is awful. It’s awful. It’s painful. It’s frightening. It makes you doubt yourself, judge yourself, distance yourself from the other people in your life. It makes you selfish. It makes you creepy, makes you obsessed with your hair, makes you cruel, makes you say and do things you never thought you would do. It’s all any of us want, and it’s hell when we get there. So no wonder it’s something we don’t want to do on our own. I was taught if we’re born with love then life is about choosing the right place to put it. People talk about that a lot, feeling right, when it feels right it’s easy. But I’m not sure that’s true. It takes strength to know what’s right. And love isn’t something that weak people do. Being a romantic takes a hell of a lot of hope. I think what they mean is, when you find somebody that you love, it feels like hope."

is this a play on the Bible verse that's typically recited at weddings? "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."

Phoebe Waller Bridge you goddamn genius

“In the end, life can seem to be inconsequential, in the way that nothing matters on some vast evolutionary scale. But everything matters, and we know that most when life seems most horrific, when at each instant of time, all the space around us is everything there is. I would vomit up my life if I could.”

Candy, by Luke Davies

[the-afternoon-delight]

Thousands of birds, the tiniest birds, adorned her hair. Everything was gold. One night the bed caught fire. He was handsome and a very good criminal. We lived on sunlight and chocolate bars.
