Famous Dominic Riccitello Quotes

“I went into the new year loving myself in different ways, in a different possibility. It was then that I understood things I hadn’t. It was then that I understood people I hadn’t. We work in ways where sometimes we don’t align because our intersections lead us elsewhere. We find ourselves in rapids which lead to lightning, in beds that leave us homesick. We lust after the impetuous, in hopelessness, and sometimes in the reactive. We like things and people who are bad for us and that’s fine. It’s fine because it’s life. It happens. They exist. We exist. We all exist together in this world where nothing seems to make sense. Where everything is nothing but imaginary because it’s what we imagine it to be. Reality exists and it’s there, but life is what you make it. Your actions ask for it. How you exist is how you exist. We take every new year and give it a theme because we’re scared of how it could be. You change in the moment, not by years. You be to become and becoming is something which frightens people. Lead by example instead of letting the example lead you. Take this new year and find yourself in people who question it because questioning is how you gain from it.”

“Some things are exactly how we leave them. Years go by and we long, passion builds, loss extends and we miss forbidden memories. Every once in awhile I long for what used to be instead of what is. I remember how I left it, last words said, how your voice echoes. It’s not sadness. It’s not quite happiness. It was bittersweet. Things were bittersweet. I still think of it quite often and wonder if the memories for you ever soften.”

“I scared him. To death. To the point where my stature frightened him. The mood I was in. The pain in my voice. That frightened him. He couldn’t handle it. But the truth is, he couldn’t handle himself. The pain extended from him. He was the cause, I was the effect and he didn’t like the reality of pain. When you hurt someone, you must face it. You must live in it. You must understand it so you don’t continue the torment. He never faced it nor understood it, which is why the discomfort angered him.”

“I loved from dusk till dawn, evil sentences. We stand with things, with people who are bad for us because sometimes we don’t know what’s right for us. We take each day with new strides, low lows and high highs. I didn’t love him until I did. That was the key - until I did. That was something he couldn’t understand, something he failed to understand. We don’t love each other at the same time. We love in intervals. Our intervals generally don’t align. We live at different times, in different lights. Sometimes different lives. When someone says they love you, take it. You take it even if it isn’t true. You take it because there’s no hurt to love. There’s only hurt if you regret not accepting it. False love hurts for a moment, true love hurts for eternity.”
