To begin living again, speaking. People, faces, a role to play. I’ll need more courage than I feel capable of.

The “expect less and receive more” philosophy was borne out by a 2014 study at Northwestern University led by psychologist Eli Finkel on the “suffocation model of marriage,” which found that “Americans today are increasingly — and perhaps unrealistically — asking their marriages to fulfill higher-level psychological needs, such as those related to personal growth and self-realization.” Certainly spend quality time with the person you are dating — forgo movie dates to partake in activities the two of you can bond over. But don’t depend on your partner to dot your every emotional “i” and cross every wrenching “t.” Take care of many of your own needs through your job, hobbies, self-reliance, friendships. Dr. Finkel said, “The irony is that asking less of the marriage … will actually make the marriage stronger.”

If we face our unpleasant feelings with care, affection, and nonviolence, we can transform them into a kind of energy that is healthy and has the capacity to nourish us. By the work of mindful observation, our unpleasant feelings can illuminate so much for us, offering us insight and understanding into ourselves and society.

[…] I was discovering the properties and the language of my soul. For the first time I separated myself from everyone else, and decided to change everything. My soul was a solid, both transparent and capable of erupting. It stayed motionless in time and space: it went along challenging itself, always courting what seemed impossible to my reason and inaccessible to my body. I had to aim well above myself if I did not want to be only me.

Hélène Cixous, from Inside (Schocken, 1969)

I am that clumsy human, always loving, loving, loving. And loving. And never leaving.

me about myself: interesting concept but poor execution!

[itsc]

abuse doesn’t just cause harm while its happening, its like. having your personality and coping mechanisms and emotions, all the threads of your life, tangled up into very fine knots, the kind that even the most patient people and the most nimble fingers want to give up on. and you just have to slowly work at them or learn to deal with the hiccups they cause in your continued existence

Thank you for coming into me, keep me here as long as you can stand my human clutter.

And then her heart changed, or at least she understood it; and the winter passed, and the sun shone upon her.
