Maurice (1987) dir. James Ivory
Normalise liking poetry because you like the way it sounds and art because you think its beautiful. You don’t have to understand the deeper meaning of something to appreciate it - poetry is bloody difficult to analyse and art requires an extensive knowledge of movements and artists to properly get - so please just wonder around art galleries and decide which pieces you’d buy if you could, and read out lines of poetry simply because they have a nice ring to them.

i am convinced every time a sudden calmness washes over me it is because my future self is somehow letting my present self know its all going to be okay, that im going to be okay
ok yeah there's suffering but also there's fairies, cottages, mushrooms, gardens, flowers, fresh baked bread, hand-knitted socks, warm cups of tea, witchcraft, cats, old books, warm soup, and pretty rocks
the pressure to be constantly evolving by doing bigger and better things is tiring. it’s fine to maintain your pace and to be content with where you are at the moment.
