Shout out to all the notes-app poems, love letters, secrets, novels, diary entries, bucket lists and lyrics that were hurredly typed into peopleโs phones at 3am and then hidden from the world and forgotten. Maybe one day youโll open the app and laugh at how pretentious you were, or maybe youโll smile at that part of yourself that noone else saw

โSometimes, even with a film I really love, I cannot tell the story precisely. Sometimes I cannot even tell what happened chronologically. But Iโll have flashes of some things. Sometimes it looks almost like a still. What I know, what I can remember is the emotion I felt. I know I loved a film because I remember feeling good in the film or feeling odd when I came out, either in tears or touched or mad.โ

I asked myself โ โOf all melancholy topics, what, according to the universal understanding of mankind, is the most melancholy?โ Death โ was the obvious reply. โAnd when,โ I said, โis this most melancholy of topics most poetical?โ From what I have already explained at some length, the answer, here also, is obvious โ โWhen it most closely allies itself to Beauty: the death, then, of a beautiful woman is, unquestionably, the most poetical topic in the world.โ
