“But it’s a neurological fact that the sacred self holds on while the reasoned one lets go. The adrenaline that let our ancestors escape the sabertooth tiger sears into the meat of our brains the extraordinary, the loud. The shrieking fight or the out-of-character insult endures forever, while the daily sweetness dissolves like sugar in water.” -Mary Karr ___ @marykarrny is has been inspiring me since I first read her words, and I wrote part of this quote of hers on myself so that her wisdom might also reach others. Karr is brilliant writer and human being. I’ve never met her, but her writing makes me feel like I know her intimately. It is not only her insight into the human psyche and experience that has made me feel this way, but the vulnerability she expresses that makes it so easy to trust what she says and use it to better myself. I love finding and sharing the women in the world who can inspire and embolden each other. #girlbosses #ftmfw <3 ___ #skinonsundays #physiopoetry #womensempowerment #womensupportingwomen (at Mexico City, Mexico)
