"Go after her. Fuck, don’t sit there and wait for her to call, go after
her because that’s what you should do if you love someone, don’t wait
for them to give you a sign cause it might never come, don’t let people
happen to you, don’t let me happen to you, or her, she’s not a fucking television
show or tornado. There are people I might have loved had they gotten on
the airplane or run down the street after me or called me up drunk at
four in the morning because they need to tell me right now and because
they cannot regret this and I always thought I’d be the only one doing
crazy things for people who would never give enough of a fuck to do it
back or to act like idiots or be entirely vulnerable and honest and
making someone fall in love with you is easy and flying 3000 miles on
four days notice because you can’t just sit there and do nothing and
breathe into telephones is not everyone’s idea of love but it is the way
I can recognize it because that is what I do. Go scream it and be with
her in meaningful ways because that is beautiful and that is generous
and that is what loving someone is, that is raw and that is unguarded,
and that is all that is worth anything, really." -- Harvey Milk
Annnnnnd this is why he's one of my favourite people in the history of history.
