"you can't stop the love — and the rock'n'roll"
The Craft (1996) dir. Andrew Fleming
““How come no one ever talks about how great River Phoenix was how he was not homophobic or a racist and love everyone. He cared about animals by becoming vegan, didn’t take life for granted. He basically took care of whole family.He was very humble and never thought he was better than anyone.Now all they talk about is how he died of an overdose but not how he lived. ””

one of my favorite things about human physiology is the way our eyes change when we look at someone we love. our pupils dilate automatically like they do when it’s dark outside and they’re trying to let more light in. except now it’s the light of your favorite person. the edges of our eyes soften a little and they sometimes even get watery which we also can’t control. tears of joy. we tend to raise our eyebrows as if we’re trying to make our eyes bigger. trying to get a better vision and seeing all the details. we tend to blink less than usual just to make the moment last a bit longer. even if it’s just a second. or when you smile at someone with your entire face involved and your eyes just crinkle and create a sparkle in them. and it all happens so effortlessly and universally.
“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. 💫

“We are the last generation of human beings who will have a choice whether or not to save the earth. If we don’t do something to protect our environment, it will be too late for our children to try” — River Phoenix, 1991
