People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I donโt find myself saying, โSoften the orange a bit on the right hand corner.โ I donโt try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.



Went up to Gourdon (in South-Eastern France) with my grandparents yesterday!


things which won’t leave you:
STUNNING GREY EYES
Eyes that are filled with the bright light of the moon, sharp as flint, strong as steel and soft as mist on a still lake at dawn. Wild as the sky on a cloudy day and calm as the sea before the storm, carrying the force of rivers and tides, rocks and mountains, rain and lightning. Eyes with the power to change shade like shimmering moonstones and silvery waters. To gaze into grey eyes is to behold a magical spectrum of light and shadow.
MAGNIFICENT BLACK EYES
Eyes that are as dark and deep as the infinite night sky, holding the mysteries of galaxies inside them. Mesmerizing pools of the purest ink hiding onyx and obsidian in their depth. Eyes reflecting the heavens, as exquisite as liquorice, as opulent as ebony and as lustrous as melanite. The universe resides in black eyes and staring into them will reveal the true meaning of stargazing.
FANTASTIC GREEN EYES
Eyes that sing of the forest, of linden leaves dancing in the wind and emerald moss resting in the shade. Ponds of jade reflecting leafy trees in all their splendour, the shades of dusky gardens and endless sunny fields. Peridot eyes hold the bliss of spring and the freedom of rolling hills. The woods forever dwell in green eyes and looking into them is looking into the heart of the earth.
WONDERFUL BROWN EYES
Eyes like melted chocolate, filled with the warm glow of the sun. Dark as coffee and luxurious mahogany, passionate as blazing fire, comforting as rich caramel and captivating as burning sunsets. Eyes that tell the tales of ancient hazel trees, of chestnuts standing tall upon the ground. Honey and cinnamon lend them their sweetness while amber and topaz give them their glory. To meet the gaze of brown eyes is to discover the true value of gold.
AMAZING BLUE EYES
Eyes that carry the depth of the ocean inside them, clear as the sky on a summer day. Bright as aquamarine and dark as lapis lazuli, pools of sapphire holding both the strength and serenity of waterfalls. Azure eyes singing of freedom and adventure, of water glittering in the sunlight and waves breaking on the shore. To gaze into blue eyes is to drift off into an eternally glistening sea.
When you’re on a plane and you’re listening to your favourite music and you watch all the colours of the sunset transition like a lava lamp until darkness arrives like a blanket.
When you sleep knowing you love someone and they love you back.
When you’re with friends and you feel things you never thought existed… a fuzzy sense of belonging and meaning you didn’t know you could feel.
Watching the dust swirl in the late afternoon light.
Climbing into a soft bed, listening to music and sleepily thinking back on good memories from the day.
Being close to someone that feels like home…You never thought you could love anyone this much.
Reading something and it’s so real and beautifully written that it changes something in you.
After you do your skincare and everything feels clean and smells nice.
Laughing so much with someone and for a rare moment, every cell in your body is happy.
Putting your face into your warm towel after a long shower.
Seeing someone cute and you briefly fall in love with them.
When it’s evening and you’re on the balcony looking over the city lights and the stars and the moon seem to smile at you and you feel so insignificant but in a comforting way.
Looking at someone and thinking “this is why I love them."
Looking at someone doing normal things and they’re so beautiful you’re lost for words.
Falling asleep on the car ride home after a long day of adventures.
The excitement of arriving at the airport in a new city.
When the sunlight looks nostalgic and it feels like you’re in a happy memory.
Looking back on cute photographs and being transported back to that day.
Being excited to see someone and they’re excited to see you too.
Random moments you think to yourself "you have to remember this moment forever."
When someone does or says something nice and you’re so surprised and thankful and your heart is blushing.
When you open the curtains in the morning and it’s sunny outside and the light floods into your room.
Misty mornings where the world’s edges are soft and blurred.
Chewing the sweet pearls in milk tea.
Going home on a Friday.
Feeling the breeze on your face and red leaves swirling around you while riding a bike down a boulevard.
When a song is perfect for your mood and it understands.
Being with someone that makes your heart feel warm, and you finally know what it’s supposed to feel like.
When you’re lying on the grass watching the clouds and seeing animal shapes in them.
When you can’t stop thinking about someone.
Taking the first bite of something delicious and all the flavours and textures mix perfectly.
Wearing your favourite clothes and feeling pretty when you look into the mirror.
Hugging someone you love and feeling happy inside and safe.
Places I wish I could be:
- in a studio ghibli movie. The sunny flower field around me is bright with innocent nostalgia and the clouds above are fluffy, shaped like cute animals
- on a plane to my favorite city. it’s evening, I turn the music up and look through the window. after the violet sunset, the city lights are like candles
- lying on warm golden sand, feeling the warmth on my skin. My friend just got us coffee ice cream and we try to enjoy it quick before it melts
- my best friend’s sofa. We’re watching her favorite movie and snacking on butter cookies, our hearts content.
- on a hill watching the foggy sunrise. it’s bitterly cold but the sun peaks through shyly at first then with dazzling confidence and it gives me hope
- curled up in a comfy bed with a good book. I haven’t read a book properly in ages but now it’s like reliving a fond childhood memory
