“One of the purest forms of love”

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

“Oh, love isn't there to make us happy. I believe it exists to show us how much we can endure.”

- Hermann Hesse

Hermann Hesse’s writing examined the search for identity, spiritual enlightenment, solitude, and the conflict between society’s expectations and our deepest personal desires. In novels such as Siddhartha, Narcissus and Goldmund, and Steppenwolf, he portrayed individuals struggling with inner contradictions as they searched for meaning and a life true to themselves. Drawing inspiration from European philosophy, psychology, Indian spirituality, and Buddhist teachings, Hesse developed a literary perspective centered on self-discovery and personal transformation.

For Hesse, genuine wisdom was not something that could simply be taught, inherited, or found by following established rules. It had to emerge through personal experience. His characters confront longing, disappointment, isolation, and conflicting desires before discovering what truly matters to them. His writing reflects the idea that inner peace does not come from eliminating our contradictions, but from acknowledging and embracing the different aspects of ourselves. Becoming whole, in Hesse’s vision, means learning to live with the complexity of being human.

“Two intelligent people cannot fall in love; true love needs one idiot.”

[Anne @thesavvyotter]

I think the purest form of love is wanting someone to experience a life with you.

Not as an audience. As a companion in the small things. Taste this. Look at that. Listen to this song. Over and over, until sharing becomes the way you know the world.

It’s not grand at first. It’s the instinct to turn and offer what moved you. A flavour. A view. A piece of music that found you when you were alone. Love begins as that turning. It deepens when you can no longer imagine the flavour, the view, or the song arriving without them there to receive it.

That’s how a life becomes shared. Not by spectacle. By the quiet habit of saying: I found this. I want it to be yours too❤️

YOU CAN'T CHOOSE TO BE IN LOVE

Love chooses you... It happens, and that's it. It doesn't matter if it's the right time or not. If he has a character opposite to yours... If he is twice your age, or half. If he lives on the other side of the world... If it's the best, or the worst, thing that could happen to you... It doesn't matter.

Love comes like that. He doesn't ask your permission. He asks nothing. He chooses you.

Love is not just an attraction or a choice... It is not linked to beauty, intelligence, good qualities... Ohh no.

Love is a connection, a magical vibration, a mystical force, a unique current, a storm of emotions, a huge landslide.

Love is like life... It's everything we didn't choose.

Love is free and indomitable… You no longer master or control anything. This is also how you recognize it...

It lives in you, haunts you, even when you try to chase it away... It is he who takes control of your heart and your thoughts.

And the best, and the wisest, is to surrender to it…

Because who are we to decide that Life was wrong when it presented it to us ?

Денес ќе ги освестам македонците дека David Lynch има направено експериментален филм, во кој готви киноа и раскажува за случка што му се случила во Македонија, од која се инспирирал да го создаде суштеството Жаба-молец во 8ма епизода во Twin Peaks

[nina @ninagrewrites]

when people decide to distance themselves from you because they can’t handle how honestly you express the way you feel about them (positively or negatively), let them. those who stay when you are radically honest with them are the ones who count.
