“He knows his mind and speaks it, even if what he says doesn’t fit in with his peers. You could call River the ultimate individualist. A vegan in the day of McDonalds, a pacifist in the era of nuclear weapons” — Teen Beat, 1988
Not even a priest who proudly claims to love humanity, who lives for humanity. Do you doubt 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

“River Phoenix was often mocked in his day. As the vegan environmentally aware actor who made careful film choices based on his personal politics, he was seen as a little wacko, an eccentric still suffering the psychological effects of growing up in the cult, Children of God. Now he seems ahead of his time. Not only that, an exemplary figure to be revered more than ever, both for his film work and his messages. […] He remains an inspiration for those of us looking for a new masculinity. This wasn’t a man set out to compromise what was in his heart and mind to fulfil any expectations of what a young man must be” — “River Phoenix remains the antidote to Toxic Masculinity”, The Book of Man, Oct 2018
Due to personal reasons, I will now be regressing back to 2014 me, so if you see me watching old Markiplier videos or listening to Badlands and Crybaby then just look the other way

“River made a difference each day of his life. I hope his death will move others to work for a healthier, more compassionate world, so that young people will not feel drawn to numb themselves against a culture too cruel to endure, but will, instead, be able to live with joy and peace and love.” — Zoe Weil [The Animals Agenda, 1994]
Dear River, Will love you forever and a day. 💫
