Chance


You swam in a river of chance and coincidence.
You clung to the happiest accidents - the rest you let float by.

Choices

Alice: Oh, as if you had no choice?
There's a moment, there's always a moment,
"I can do this, I can give into this, or I can resist it",
and I don't know when your moment was,
but I bet you there was one.

Lesson 3: How To Deal With Nostalgia

"I go to sleep and imagine that you're there
with me."
Sia - I Go To Sleep



Making love with a woman and sleeping with a woman
are two separate passions,
not merely different but opposite.
Love does not make itself felt in the desire for copulation
(a desire that extends to an infinite number of women)
but in the desire for shared sleep
(a desire limited to one woman).
Milan Kundera - The Unbearable Lightness of Being
