when kafka said “all the love in the world is useless when there is total lack of understanding” and when richard siken said “if you love me, you don’t love me in a way I understand.”
anne carson
when anaïs nin said “i dont want worship. i want understanding”
When orwell said: “Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.”
“Suddenly there are footsteps behind her. Heavy, rapid. A man’s footsteps… . She quickens her pace in time to the quickening of her pulse. She is afraid. He could be a rapist. He could be a soldier, a harasser, a robber, a killer. He could be none of these. He could be a man in a hurry. He could be a man merely walking at his normal pace. But she fears him. She fears him because he is a man…. She does not feel the same way—on city street or dirt road, in parking lot or field— if she hears a woman’s footsteps behind her. It is the footsteps of a man she fears. This moment she shares with every human being who is female. - Robin Morgan”
— “When we describe this experience in our Women’s Studies classes and explain that every woman has gone through it, the men in the class are incredulous. Invariably, one man will ask the women students, in a disbelieving tone, how many of them have really experienced this fear. The women, equally shocked that a man wouldn’t know they do experience it, respond with statements such as, “You’ve got to be kidding!” This dialogue strikingly exposes the extent to which fear is ever present in women’s—but not men’s—lives. It dramatically exposes what it means to be male—as opposed to female—in patriarchal culture. It dramatically reveals the extent to which fear and lack of fear can be taken for granted.” - Dee L.R.

“When you start to know someone, all their physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in their energy, recognize the scent of their skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That’s why you can’t fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and your body but not your heart. And that’s why, when you really connect with a person’s inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant.”

rainer maria rilke, letters to a young poet
i've been afraid of changing i used to be free i used to be seventeen i used to scream ferociously before i learned civility now you're all gone got your makeup on and you're not coming back (can't you come back) i want them back i want them back the minds we had the minds we had boy i want you to be happy free to run get dizzy on caffeine slow down you're doing fine you can't be everything you wanna be before your time i was so young when i behaved twenty five but lately i've been crying like a tall child!!!!!!!!!!!
Growing up feels like your skin no longer fits. Like you just want to crawl out of that thinly stretched space and lay down in the grass and sob for hours. Instead, I am in a cafe eating lunch and trying not to scream. Looking around wondering if anyone else in this building is doing the same thing, wondering if they ever have and, if so, how they got through it. Maybe I would calm down if I just had the assurance that other people have looked in the mirror and no longer recognized themselves.
