Mortal, after all.

What is human existence? It turns out it’s pretty simple: We are dead stars, looking back up at the sky.

“What I feel for you can’t be conveyed in phrasal combinations; It either screams out loud or stays painfully silent but I promise — it beats words. It beats worlds.”

sometimes im like “tone down the Self to fit in” and other times, the voice of God comes to me in a dream and says “I didn’t make you crazy for no reason”

Still collecting the full alphabet of the “live, laugh, love” variants if anyone has some good examples.

Bonus if they can fit the “We can’t ___, _____, ____ our way out of this.”

Someone will probably love you for who you are. If not, you’ll still find friends, friends who, given time, or given warning, will probably gather around you, hold your hands, and wrap you in soft coats and blankets till the violence inside your body ends.

Someone will probably love you for who you are, not just for who you labor to be. Maybe you’re lost in your skin today. Maybe you’re burning and wish you could tear it all off. Please don’t. You are variously a marvel, an athlete, a wilderness, a source of warmth and a way to learn from fear.

— Stephanie Burt, from "Prayer for Werewolves," We Are Mermaids

You are by far the most experienced fencer when it comes to losing. Those losses were blocks to build yourself stairs leading up. Think about it. Now you’ve got the highest staircase. Take your time to climb it and take whatever you want. TWENTY-FIVE TWENTY-ONE (2022) EP. 4
