““You can see, all this is worth nothing,” the sculptor said, sweeping his arm through the air. “Worth nothing, Noemí, I’ve spent months making this shit, you write books, that woman denounces atrocities, we attend congresses and round tables to protest, we almost come to believe that things are changing, and then all you need is two minutes reading to understand the truth again, to—” “Shh, I’m thinking things like that right now too,” I said with a rage at having to say it. “But if I accepted them it would be like sending them a telegram of support, and, besides, you know very well that tomorrow you’ll get up and in a while you’ll be shaping another sculpture and you’ll know that I’m at my typewriter and you’ll think that we’re many, even though we’re so few, and that difference in strength isn’t and never will be any reason to be silent.”

[shitiunderline]

Imagine me alone, year after year, mutely longing for all I'd left behind, suppressing the longing, never speaking of it, contemplating leaving year after year, and year after year staying. For although I was unhappy, it was not anybody's fault that I was. I simply couldn't find firm ground on which to stand. And it wasn't endless, hopeless misery but, instead, a kind of unhappiness that held promise of one day bearing fruit.

We control so little. Last night in the suburbs, I woke to a firefly, trapped

in my room, emerged from deep sleep to see her flickered glow & knew

I couldn’t save her. Maybe I was meant to wake to her pulsing green light

above my bed. A siren song for everything unmine— the abundance I’ve been given. Rage Hezekiah

“You don’t have to wait for the conditions to be perfect for you to become the person you desire to become. You can become that person now, or at least practice thinking like that person, making decisions like that person, moving through the world like that person, adoring yourself like that person, desiring like that person, receiving new experiences of pleasure and adventure like that person.”

guys when they think a girl is hot: she is objectively attractive

girls when they think a guy is hot: yeah hes hot but only if you think of a german coal mine from 1882 that hes forced to work in to provide for his family of 12. he gives off that vibe
