“Some people think that a place can save them. Like if they could just be somewhere else, their lives would be totally different. They could finally be the people they always wanted to be. But to me, a place is just a place. If you really want things to change, you can make them change no matter where you are.”—

“Enjoy the little things in life because one day you’ll look back and realize they were the big things.”—
Kurt Vonnegut
(viapurplebuddhaquotes)
My ears hear what others cannot hear; small faraway things people cannot normally see are visible to me. These senses are the fruits of a lifetime of longing, longing to be rescued, to be completed. Just as the skirt needs the wind to billow, I’m not formed by things that are of myself alone. I wear my father’s belt tied around my mother’s blouse, and shoes which are from my uncle. This is me. Just as a flower does not choose its color, we are not responsible for what we have come to be. Only once you realize this do you become free, and to become adult is to become free.
Stoker (2013), dir. Park Chan-wook

More experimenting. I think I’ll do a few more of these but tighter, bigger and with oils and see how they go.
