"I dream of a world where everyone is kind and true."

Today, a person with whom I felt a connection deeper than possibly any other I’ve felt passed away.

From when we were much younger until the moment he died, he influenced my taste in television and literature, my sense of humor, and the way I viewed life. He thought critically, but he acted kindly and loved abundantly.

The saddest part is that I hadn’t had a meaningful conversation with him for more than ten years, and now I will go on wishing I had told him how inspiring he was to me.

If there’s someone out there you care about, let them know.

I miss you, but I’ll see you again in the morning, my friend.

'I believe in absolute honesty and sensible social lies. I believe in a woman's right to choose, a baby's right to live, that while all human life is sacred there's nothing wrong with the death penalty if you can trust the legal system implicitly, and that no one but a moron would ever trust the legal system. I believe that life is a game, life is a cruel joke and that life is what happens when you're alive and you might as well lie back and enjoy it.'
Neil Gaiman, American Gods

LOOK AT THESE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE.

Spent a month with them, sharing the story of Daniel with tens of thousands of young people. The last few months have been reigniting and steadily stoking my love for theatre, and it’s really starting to burn.

(cue Ellie Goulding)

If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (1973)
