There is no such thing as the right person, there is the right person for a certain period of time and people leave, sucking out pieces of your soul and spitting it out, and that’s ok, that’s painful but predictable. Our biggest problem is that we choose to trust sadness more than we trust happiness, and that’s why we always believe more in being broken than in being mended because it’s easier not to try again, it’s easier to hide whatever is left of your heart and soul, it’s easier to pretend that you are eternally broken than to risk being broken again, but you know what, that’s ok, because things get worse and then they get better and then they get unbearable and that’s life, you end up getting unbeatable, you learn to duck when you must and dive when you should, you learn to live expecting death around every corner, and you learn how to come to life every time death slaps you in the face. Just trust in yourself more than you trust in sadness or in happiness all the same, trust that life is worth the risk and the resistance, and you -you- will be ok, even if things fail to be.
THREE
TV SHOWS: Oh, there I go. It’s so hard to
list only three, to be honest. However, on the top of the list comes Downton
Abbey –I’m absolutely fond of this tv show, mainly in spite of the precise amount
of drama and details, which so
captures my eyes and heart. It’s truly exuberant. – Another one is North & South –This
adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell is truly wonderful, honestly. Drives me to
another epoch, something that is truly pleasant.– And now, last but not least,
comes Law and Order – The Special Victims Unit, of course. Even though I always
know who’s the killer because I’m
incredibly good at this, it’s quite enjoyable to imagine myself as
the investigator. Or the assassin. But the first one is way more likely.
*smirks*
FOUR ANIMALS: Well,
first of all, I must admit that I’m completely fond of dogs, since I’ve known
myself as Lestat. Oh, you guys may
have already expected such answer. By the way, I’m also fully amazed by the Bali
Bird of Paradise. This animal is so pompous, gracious and so full of life that
I couldn’t help but fall instantly in love with it. And the melodious sounds
that it makes? Such a wonderful creature. Alright, the next one is the lynx.
Even though I don’t enjoy felines that much,such animals can be so extremely
beautiful and agile and furtive, it’s something fully charming, indeed worthy
of appreciation. Now, lastly, we have the peacock. I know, it may sound a quite
unusual, yet such animals had always captured my attention with its mysterious,
fanciful look. If I had an spirit animal, I guess it would totally be a peacock. Or perhaps I’m just being way too poetic. Who
knows? *laughs*
FIVE FOODS: Steamy coffee, recently
baked madeleines (truly one of my
favorites, drives me straight back to Paris), Earl Grey tea, fresh apples and chilled
wine.
Lestat: “Such impressive dwellings – three townhouse attached to one another and made into one grand palazzo […..] and little decorative iron fencing. Only the central entrance was used, with the bronze name in script above the door: TRINITY GATE.”
(♛ Lestat here, darlings! Always happy to inform you of a few more of my favorite things *air kiss*)
one song: “You May Be Right” – Billy Joel, “You may be right/I may be crazy/Ho!/But it just may be a lunatic you’re looking for.” I relate to this song on a deeply spiritual level, mes petits.
two movies: The War of the Roses, (trust me on this, it is a beautiful unfurling of a divorcing couple that cannot seem to leave eachother), Dances with Wolves (will always be deeply moving).
three tv shows: ER (yes, it’s old, but so am I), Oz, the Daily Show (where else would I get my current events?)
four animals: dogs, dogs, dogs, dogs, okay, alright…. mastiffs, dalmations, german shepherds, irish setters *grins*
five foods: Seeing as I chose victim types the last time I did this… foods that I never got to try, and look intriguing to me by their smell, appearance, and/or texture: rocky road ice cream, vegan meat-substitutes like seitan, sushi (so artfully prepared, more sculpture than food), modern wedding cake with fondant icing, watermelon.
