COLLECTION OF PARADOXES

Where is my mind?

[secretos-de-mi-alterego]

Find me, I dare you

[secretos-de-mi-alterego]

If losing my mind will let me have a life with the ghost of you, I'll destroy it myself. Let me be delusional for you. You don't have to be dead alone.

Hoy mentí otra vez sobre tí.

[secretos-de-mi-alterego]

Fuck politeness. Show me your darkness and your truth.

Or is that because of my darkness I expect everybody else to have it?

[secretos-de-mi-alterego]

In due time I'll get bored of you, too.

I wish somebody would understand.

[secretos-de-mi-alterego]

My Smile will break you.

Why is it so damn hard to find an equal?

Did God shape me inspired by her loneliness and longing?

I'm tired of pretending this ain't hard.

You cruel God.

Make me feel it all without intending to catch me when I fall.

You know my revenge is going to be my happiness

and when we meet

You would not have any excuse for your sadness.

Every woman I have ever loved is still working out how to love herself. Has a closetful of ghosts and has been to a hundred funerals of the women she used to be. Wonders what wounds her mother carries that she will never know about. Hopes that the weight of the world doesn't eventually crush her, that she is strong enough to handle it all. Wishes a day will come when she can put it all down, give her aching shoulders a rest. Wants someone to truly see her and not make a feast of her kindness and dreams. Is forever hiding a secret hunger for what calls to her in the dark. Holds a universe inside her, but has been told to make herself smaller despite the paradox. Praise be that universes are not in the business of listening to anyone but themselves. Every woman I have loved has thought about it. The art of disappearing. To be here one day, and the next, like smoke, simply gone.

Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.

Reddit wins this one

Post reads: "It's the same criticism I see levied at the last episode over and over again. "I'm fine with gay people, but keep politics out of my entertainment."

[Image ID: post from Reddit thread r/thelastofus titled "When is a gay relationship on screen not "political propoganda?""

I'm genuinely curious. How in the holy hell is a gay relationship pictured on screen inherently "political?"

It's maddening man. I'd prefer they just come out and say what they're actually thinking."

User catnap_kismet replies: "there are two sexualities, straight and political. there are two genders, male and political. there are two races, white and political. etc".

“I want a soulmate who can sit me down, shut me up, tell me ten things I don’t already know, and make me laugh. I don’t care what you look like, just turn me on. And if you can do that, I will follow you on bloody stumps through the snow. I will do your windows. I will care about your feelings. Just have something in there.”
