The Only Thing You Need To Know About The World:

“Although I can’t stop all cruelty to living creatures on the planet, I can be kinder to every living creature in my life.”

— River Phoenix

one of my favorite things about human physiology is the way our eyes change when we look at someone we love. our pupils dilate automatically like they do when it’s dark outside and they’re trying to let more light in. except now it’s the light of your favorite person. the edges of our eyes soften a little and they sometimes even get watery which we also can’t control. tears of joy. we tend to raise our eyebrows as if we’re trying to make our eyes bigger. trying to get a better vision and seeing all the details. we tend to blink less than usual just to make the moment last a bit longer. even if it’s just a second. or when you smile at someone with your entire face involved and your eyes just crinkle and create a sparkle in them. and it all happens so effortlessly and universally.

““How come no one ever talks about how great River Phoenix was how he was not homophobic or a racist and love everyone. He cared about animals by becoming vegan, didn’t take life for granted. He basically took care of whole family.He was very humble and never thought he was better than anyone.Now all they talk about is how he died of an overdose but not how he lived. ””

driven by a greed to succeed, nobody can stop me

não fui criada em águas rasas, e sempre dei mergulhos profundos

mas vou passar a noite velejando no azul esverdeado de teus venustos olhos

pedindo aos céus que desta vez eu não me afogue

“He grew up as a naive little kid saying, ‘I want to save the world’. As he got older he started to realize that it was impossible to do. Nobody can. A lot of people go nuts because they feel the pain and they want to do something about it and they can’t. I think River felt that very intensely”
