“To accept one’s past—one’s history—is not the same thing as drowning it it; it is learning how to use it. An invented past can never be used; it cracks and crumbles under the pressures of life like clay in a season of drought.” // James Baldwin 1962
 from a couple of days ago, an emotional and educational read

I do not mean to be sentimental about suffering--enough is certainly as good as a feast--but people who cannot suffer can never grow up, can never discover who they are.

"It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive." - James Baldwin. 📚 Happy birthday to this brilliant man. •• #bookstagram #readstagram #book #jamesbaldwin #giovannisroom #thefirenexttime #gotellitonthemountain #anothercountry #notesofanativeson #author (at Strand Book Store)

Feed your mind. 

 "I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain."
