infinite list of favorite movies - Memoirs of a Geisha

“You cannot say to the sun, “More sun.” Or to the rain, “Less rain.” To a man, geisha can only be half a wife. We are the wives of nightfall. And yet, to learn of kindness after so much unkindness…to understand that a little girl with more courage than she knew would find her prayers were answered, can that not be called happiness? After all, these are not the memoirs of an empress, nor of a queen. These are memoirs of another kind.”

it’s funny how life can just be like
funny
and throw stuff your way
all at once
out of breath, wondering if that really just happened
laughing in the cold night air
adrenaline coursing through your veins
heart pumping and pumping

life has a sense of humor
throwing excitement your way
so you appreciate the quiet more
the still moments
where voices are hushed and lights are dimmed
and the quiet is all you need
and all that you want
