moments when life feels/felt like a movie

-

whenever i listen to: roslyn by bon iver, dreamy night by lily pichu, cloudbusting by kate bush, use somebody by kings of leon, you got the love by florence and the machine, bette davis eyes by kim carnes or good riddance by green day.

when i was in tenerife with my family for vacation, and me and my mom sprinted from the restaurant to catch the sunset because it was beyond amazing. we took the stairs to up above the port, and the sky was different shades of red, yellow and orange. there was a karaoke bar nearby. someone was singing `my way` by frank sinatra, and i instantly got goosebumps. the sun was setting while the chorus was sung, and i was completely filled with a once in a lifetime kind of happiness.

when i snuck out with my friends in the AM to go by the lake and watch the stars, while listening to yellow by coldplay and then... just gazing silently, at the night sky.

when i was at a karaoke pub with my friends, and someone offered me a dance, and i danced without a care while people were singing their hearts out.

when i was at electric castle, a romanian music festival, in the camping area, next to my tent, getting ready for my volunteering shift. suddenly, i heard a song playing from the main stage and it seemed quite familiar. it was a song from a band i recently discovered and i had no clue that they would be there. i both wanted to sprint to the crowd, and listen from afar. and i listened from afar. 

when i go for a long drive at golden hour, the trees glowing and starting to change to autumnal colours.

when i was walking on the streets of the city in which i study, at 1 am. it was foggy, there were no people in sight, and it started to rain, but not too much. it may seem quite strange at a first glance, but in that moment, i felt like i could walk for hours, in that silence, knowing that i'm on my own - just me and my vulnerability. 

- to be continued, because life has so much many moments like this, in store for us.

Bojack Horseman - The View from Halfway Down, by Alison Tafel

-

"The weak breeze whispers nothing, the water screams sublime, his feet shift, teeter-totter, deep breath, stand back, it's time. Toes untouch the overpass; soon, he's water-bound eyes locked shut, but peek to see the view from halfway down. A little wind, a summer sun, a river rich and regal, a flood of fond endorphins brings a calm that knows no equal. You're flying now You see things much more clear than from the ground. It's all okay, or it would be were you not, now, halfway down. Thrash to break from gravity what now could slow the drop All I'd give for toes to touch the safety back at top. But this it, the deed is done, silence drowns the sound. Before I leaped, I should have seen the view from halfway down. I really should've thought about the view from halfway down. I wish I could've known about the view from halfway down." 'Oh, Bojack, no. There is no other side; this is it.'

 today i hope you look at yourself in the mirror and smile i hope you take a good, long look at yourself and not just to fix your lipstick or to fix that rebel strand of hair which always seems to find its way over your pretty eyes. no, i hope you spend some time to reflect on the person standing right in front of you eagerly waiting to be acknowledged loved cared for appreciated. that person is eagerly waiting for a simple 'you are beautiful.' 'you are enough.' because sometimes,  we forget that us, too need a little love from our very own selves.

este o oră târzie și gânduri m-apasă  pe piept, puternic și n-am cum să scap. sunt atâtea lucruri pe care le simt, le trăiesc, însă prea puține moduri prin care să le exprim. parcă nici textul ăsta nu-și mai are rostul când nu este suficient de clar, de lucid, de fluid ci mai degrabă o adunătură de cuvinte care, împreună, încearcă să mă ajute să înțeleg. dar, în zadar.  nu. nu vorbesc foarte a.curat, cred că este dez.ordine în sufletul meu și prea puțină ordine printre gânduri și citesc din ce în ce mai greu printre rânduri. gândurile apasă mai tare acum și îmi este greu să mă opun. bottle up sau let it out? chiar nu mai știu. ambele-s cu 2 tăișuri un drum ce se bifurcă și nu știi ce cale să apuci de teamă să nu te întorci schimbat,  judecat. ignorat. neascultat.
