i want to wear white

I think its so beautiful how people in general just seek connection and fulfillment like everyone just wants to be known and understood and comfortable.. and with nan goldins photography (specifically both greer and cookie's weddings) like how lucky to have built this found family and to find "true" love like someone who loves you so much and completely understands you. like oh my god the relief on their faces is so clear the deep breath knowing that not only do they themselves love someone deeply but someone loves them. Those two photos specifically also reminded me of Venus in Paris is Burning, when she's talking about how she wants a normal, happy, life, to wear white and get married in a church. How simple is that? She never got to experience that indescribable joy, love, and safety. it all just breaks my heart i dont know if this makes any sense
