this line explains the title #CanThisLoveBeTranslated “If it's a language you don't know, you should study it. The vocabulary, syntax, and punctuation will all differ from those of the language you speak. Look closely and try your best to understand it.”
“How many different languages do you think exist in the world?”
“As many as there are people in this world.”
“Everyone speaks their own language.”
“That’s why we fail to understand each other, hear things the wrong way, and end up hurting one another.”
In the context of Can This Love Be Translated? love isn’t about speaking the same language but about learning how to translate each other’s feelings being willing to listen, to understand your partner’s wounds, and not forcing your own way of being understood.

Me: I don't have anything I'm just gay and wanted a photo?
Aubrey: hell yeah *puts arm on me*
Me: short circuits
She's an angel #AubreyPlaza
