❛   i know , right ? a place where we could finally leave the weight of the world behind and find the peace we long fer .. however , paradise can be a relative concept . and although the idea of running away and leaving it all behind may seem t empting .. sooner or later we must face the challenges and take our own responsibility .  ❜

@fantasmaqoria : ❛   i know you feel like giving up right now , but it ' s not gonna solve any of your problems .  ❜

@larfingmadcap : ❛   is there anything you need ? anything i can do for you ?  ❜

his attention turns to the opposite , casting a hint of amusement in his eyes through his round glasses . lennon takes a step closer , offering a warm smile before answering . ❛   well , syd , you can call me john . no need for formalities ' ere .  ❜ his voice has a soft tone , trying to reassure him . ❛   i ' ve always been a fan of curiosity . it keeps things interesting , ya know ?  ❜ he makes a small gesture to the contrary for him to go ahead and ask his question , while lennon already does it with his relaxed but still attentive posture . he leans in slightly , his eyes sparkling with anticipation . ❛   what ' s on your mind ?  ❜

❛   we ’ ve had our fair share of magic moments , tha ’ for sure .  ❜ john replies , a nostalgic glimmer in his eyes . ❛   sometimes , being a little recalcitrant is what keeps the creative flame burning .  ❜ her head reclines down , bringing her wrist up . afterwards , he looks at his watch briefly . ❛   don ’ worry ’ bout the others . we all ’ ave a relaxed schedule ’ere . take your time . take a seat , enjoy the atmosphere . do what you want , damn .  ❜ a brief laughing smile curves on her lips , showing her teeth . ❛   by the way ,  ❜ john adds , leaning closer . ❛   don ’ be afraid to ask questions or share yer thoughts . we ’ re all ’ere to create and enjoy music together .. ’ s not every day we ’ ave someone like you around , witnessing the process firsthand .  ❜ with that , john pats him on the shoulder . he lets out a light sigh , before heading towards the studio .

"I've had a lot of time to think," said John peering at me through his wire-rimmed specs, "and only now am I beginning to realise many of the things I should have known years ago. I'm getting to understand my own feelings. Don't forget that under this frilly shirt is a hundred-year-old man who's seen and done so much — but at the same time knowing so little."

Dinner with the Beatles New Musical Express | 27 May 1967

❛   i guess ’ s a combination of habit and a built-in coping mechanism . my work and personal responsibilities took up most of me time , and weekends were often just an extension of me daily activities .. it is curious how our body adapts and becomes an internal clock .  ❜

@janieasher : ❛   i don ' t know how you do it . if it were me , i don ' t think i ' d have been able to get out of bed today .  ❜
