maybe when we are 0.01 cm away from someone, we can be 0.01 cm away from falling in love

"If memories could be canned, would they also have expiry dates? If so, I hope they last for centuries."

Once I read this Wong Kar-Wai quote and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since and it was something like this:
“We all need stories. What happens in our daily lives changes our stories..”

Chungking Express was so unbelievably good as I expected, I feel so full but at the same time so empty. Wong Kar-Wai really knows how to make a story about longing, this movie unlocked an emotion in me that only a few could and I'm sure every person who has watched this probably found the slightest detail to relate to. This left me thinking about life, the amount of people we cross paths with, that one person that comes into our minds at the most random times, that one song that we listened to on repeat but got sick of it but especially, the memories we made and will make that last a lifetime.
Once you get introduced to Wong Kar-Wai 's work that's when your most beautiful moment in life will start because even though you might not have anything going for you right now, you will have these movies.
