Yemeless Haecceity
Ask me anything
me: a round peg in a square hole
this blog: my way of collecting beautiful things, and sometimes not so beautiful things. And sharing some of my beautiful things, or not so beautiful things.
Yemeless, adj. - Negligent and careless
Haecceity, n - The aspect of existence on which individuality depends; the hereness and nowness of reality. The sense one gets of being in the present tense, the pure experience of a single moment in time.

I still think this is one of the greatest sentences ever written.
"Oscar Wilde said that if you know what you want to be, then you inevitably become it - that is your punishment, but if you never know, then you can be anything. There is a truth to that. We are not nouns, we are verbs. I am not a thing - an actor, a writer - I am a person who does things - I write, I act - and I never know what I am going to do next. I think you can be imprisoned if you think of yourself as a noun."

- “Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaurant filled with odd little waiters who bring you things you never asked…
"Mention it, just mention that you like the smell of new water on old earth and I will give you the rain. Take down your hair and I will become the wind and do nothing with my days but play in it."
