Gertrude Stein said love thrives through "the skillful audacity to share an inner life."

It suggests that expressing the truth about who you are isn't something that amateurs do well.

Disciplined practice and ingenuity are required.

It also implies that courage is an essential element of successful intimacy. You may have to be adventurous if you want to weave your life together with another's.

Image Text: my dream about time

BY LUCILLE CLIFTON

a woman unlike myself is running / down the long hall of a lifeless house / with too many windows which open on / a world she has no language for, / running and running until she reaches / at last the one and only door

which she pulls open to find each wall / is faced with clocks and as she watches / all of the clocks strike

NO

I also felt that she was holding herself together with a safety pin, was forcing herself to be clear, articulate, active—to keep moving, one step ahead of the sledgehammer of grief.

the worst part of summer is that people get sooo comfortable expressing their disgust at having to see other people’s bodies. they’re always complaining about wrinkly old men at the nude hot springs or fat women in bikinis at the beach. I hate that shit. if you’re not capable of being normal about bodies you personally don’t find attractive, just turn your head to look at something else! and if you’re not smart enough to do that, then at least do the rest of us the courtesy of suffering in silence, because we don’t wanna hear your weird comments. thanks.

i think when people have nothing to do and nowhere to go they tend to spend way too much time trying to define "what they are" in lieu of engaging with and experiencing the world around them, the majority of which is an immense waste of the limited time we have in this life
