The Pocket Watch Thief

Soyen | 24 | Manila “I never wish to be easily defined. I’d rather float over other people’s minds as something strictly fluid and non-perceivable; more like a transparent, paradoxically iridescent creature rather than an actual person." — Franz Kafka.

Why was I calling you, wishing for you, why was I longing and thirsting for you with every curve of my soul and even with my ribs?

Fyodor Dostoevsky, from The Brothers Karamazov (via watchoutforintellect)

I'm not your darling. I'm not your baby. I'm not defined by my beauty And my beauty is not defined by you Or anyone else but me. I can build worlds out of nothing. I am a lightning storm. I'm the sun. I won't be watered-down. I breathe fire.

If flowers could speak, they would tell us the secret to living a worthwhile life: be bold, be soft and be open

The opposite of the Expression rose-tinted Is actually the color Of blood. At home after Work while watching 7pm News, my heart breaks a little more and I have to be reminded to be softer again or else I'd think, How could I? There are so many things To be angry about. We are All just trying to remain sane In this mad, mad world.

THERE IS A BOY WHO ALWAYS SQUINTS WHEN HE LOOKS AT ME AND HIS SUN SALUTATIONS POINT TO ME AS DUE NORTH AND HE FORBIDS ME FROM SAYING THAT I AM ANYTHING BUT LIGHT EVEN ON DAYS WHEN I THUNDER THE WORLD WEIGHS NOTHING ON MY SHOULDERS I AM HIGH NOON AND I SEE NO SHADOWS I RISE AND I SHINE I RISE AND I SHINE I RISE AND I SHINE

They said you’re just too much, You love with your everything And they couldn’t keep up They said, Love should only be taken in spoonfuls, Only the worthwhile ones can chug the whole cup without breaking

Soyen, A letter for everyone who'd been told that they love too much as if it were a bad thing.
