“River Made A Difference Each Day Of His Life. I Hope His Death Will Move Others To Work For A Healthier,

creative writing’s just like yeah sure i can deal with my issues i just need to cover them in several layers of metaphors first

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.

PET PEEVES: War, cruelty, materialism

BELIEFS: Being good to other people, working for world peace, not eating meat

✨it's not about career, it's about believing in something. it's about prosperity and it's about caring and emphasizing and wanting to create the best and the most true to real life✨

“We are all animals of this planet. We are all creatures. And nonhuman animals experience pain sensations just like we do. They too are strong, intelligent, industrious, mobile, and evolutional. They too are capable of growth and adaptation. Like us, firsthand foremost, they are earthlings. And like us, they are surviving. Like us they also seek their own comfort rather than discomfort. And like us they express degrees of emotion. In short like us, they are alive.”

Joaquin Phoenix

River lived to protect ALL creatures.

“It was River Phoenix who wanted his character to be gay, or to be in love with Keanu’s character. Originally the characters were both straight. River wanted there to be this affection, this love, and to have his character tell Keanu that he loved him. [smiles] Maybe he wanted to tell Keanu that…" — Gus Van Sant

being insane is just a part of my charm

the only thing you need to know about the world:

"you can't stop the love — and the rock'n'roll"
