How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

humansofnewyork:

“What happened?”

“It has to do with alcohol. I haven’t really told the story to anyone.”

“Will you tell me?”

“…well, I’d been drinking everyday for several years. In 2009 I tried to quit. So I stopped drinking for two days, and I got so sick that I couldn’t eat or sleep. But I still decided to try to go to work. I got so weak that I passed out in the BART station while I was waiting for the train. When I woke up, I was paralyzed from the waist down.”

“Oh man.”

“You want to know the sad part?”

“What’s that?”

“I’m still drinking. Because of the loneliness.”

(San Francisco, CA)

a-bittersweet-life:

I think the point of cinematography, of what we do, is intimacy. Is intent, is the balance between the familiar and the dream, it is being subjective and objective, it is being engaged and yet standing back and noticing something that perhaps other people didn’t notice before, or celebrating something that you feel is beautiful or valid, or true or engaging in some way.

But Peter and I finally got together after a long, long, long decision. You know, did we really want to commit to each other? And I remember once we’d decided, we went to sit in a cafeteria downtown and took a kind of marriage vow or vow to remain with each other and make sure that we each got into heaven and not go into heaven without each other’s presence. So I was about 28, and Peter was about 21 or 22. But I remember when we made this vow of celestial, heavenly, earthly, immortal fidelity— that once I realized he was making it and I was making it— something broke open and it was like the heavens showered with gold that finally I found someone that loved me as I loved them and the first time I felt accepted in my life, completely.
