hereās are some of my favourite quotes from media that align in my mind
āBut loving someone, and being loved means so much to me. We always make fun of it and stuff. But isnāt everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more?ā from before sunrise is so true but i also think that so much of what we do in our lives is to be seen or really heard
āFirst we only want to be seen, but once weāre seen, thatās not enough anymore. After that, we want to be remembered.ā
from one of my favourite books station eleven and i also really agree cause humans want to be remembered so badly, from the things they create like art to the work they do for others, whether thatās a selfish goal to want to be remembered for what you do for others rather than doing it out of desire to help other people i donāt know but itās interesting
āAnd anyway, we're talkin' about niceness. Not what's his name. My mammy, she was nice. I remember her. And my daddy, he was nice. I remember him. And my sister, she's nice. I'll remember her. Forever I'll remember her.ā
this whole interaction from the banshees of inisherin is amazing and so beautiful. i can understand both sides i guess but niceness really is so important!!! after this Colm counters PĆ”draic by asking him who else will remember his sisterās and his niceness but it doesnt matter so much WHO remembers your niceness because that memory and the mark you make yourself through it will be remembered through your impact on the world
the earth will remember our ānicenessā to one another and the beauty of the things we create like art and music and the things that are made for others to see and hear us, whether it physically lasts or even in the memories of other people, the world will remember your impact.

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
I identified with this pretty deeply when I was young and feeling insignificant. It made me stop focusing on my lack of social status and accomplishments and instead helped me focus on how to be a good person.

That when we see old friends reunited outside of an airport, we get it.Ā
We get that we are all in this together, this gorgeous, scary, magical thing called life that keeps on happening, keeps on going.
That no matter what, some characters come back to meet us,Ā and we are forever changed.
And it is just like that, worldwide.
And when we are little we know so little of it. And the older we get, the less it becomes known; what this is all about. But we are in it, together.

The other day i took a deep look at the trees on my way home. They wore so beautiful because someone is taking care of that. In a world of status this is not a āgreat job to doā but the impact of it is so great. We all hopefully doing something that matters in a way without us realising. The world isnāt about me is about us. this became my way of running from the idea āIm the centre of the worldā. Hope it makes senseš«

thereās something so funny about seeing a friend before they notice you cause itās like a look into what theyāre like alone
seeing how they walk when theyāre by themselves or their expression when theyāre just going about or looking around

discovered this song after it came on in the credits for the film the outrun and itās literally so good
the start literally hooks you with the crazy cool and unique accordion
then the rest of the song is also amazing i love the bittersweet feel of it with the line āthis is the day your life will surely changeā that most people can relate to when you swear to yourself youāll break your bad habits to make a better life for yourself, deciding that THIS will be the day youll change but you could say that any day again and again and never actually do anything to change or stick with it
