“Regrets spit their venom in my direction with forked tongues and a glint in their cunning eyes. They want me to dwell on the past. They want me to stay stagnant; unable to move on, unwilling to let go.”

— Noor Shirazie

...the most common and the most painful mistake women have made.

[queengreendown]

It’s almost as if nobody wants to admit that they might not be prepared to do the work it takes to love somebody. And it can be laborious. To be intimate with someone who is flawed (which is the standard) requires us to expose our own flaws. We don’t talk about the heavy responsibility of that. We don’t talk about how we’re too lazy or too cowardly sometimes. We instead accuse love of being elusive. It isn’t. It is omnipresent. It asks us to be better people. And sometimes we flat out refuse.
