I was at a friends house at least three years ago and I saw a quote on one of his paintings that has been stuck in my head ever since:
"Last night I met a girl I loved. She said our relationship could be defined by fifty-four divided by three. At first I was confused. Then I realized that fifty-four divided by three is eighteen. So we fucked."
And ever since I saw that quote I've felt that once I decoded it life would make so much more sense. Because I'm just a dumbfounded bratty teenage girl who finds herself looking for answers in all the wrong places. Answers to questions I don't even know.
Anyway, I saw him at the yoga studio on Friday and I asked him what it meant. He was astonished that it had made such an impact on my life and replied with "Well, if the girl was eighteen then it was legal for me to sleep with her, thus our relationship was just sex but I mistook it as love, because I didn't know any better. I was just so mystified by her."
So now that I've found out the quote is nothing but simplicity does it boil down to: life is about the simplicity?
to love? to be loved? sex?
When did simplicity become such a hard concept to grasp?
excuse my mumblings, I just needed a place other than a word document to jot down my thoughts.
dear insomnia,
please take a night off. i am exhausted.
love, anjali.
