There is a fine line between freedom and permission.  The former is necessary. The latter is dangerous. While freedom gives rise to growth and enlightenment,  permission allows evil to flourish in a light of day that would otherwise destroy it. A self-important dictator gives permission for his subjects to blame the world’s ills on those least able to defend themselves.  A haughty queen gives permission to slaughter in the name of God.  An arrogant head of state gives permission to all nature of hate as long as it feeds his ambition.  And the unfortunate truth is,  people devour it.  Society gorges itself, and rots.  Permission is the bloated corpse of freedom.

you will never get what you deserve if you stay with what you tolerate.

If the person you’re with never changes, will you be happy with them for the rest of your life? Because if they haven’t changed by now, there’s a very good chance they never will. You’ve told them the things they need to work on, you’ve told them what they do that hurts you, you’ve told them how they could fix the problem—probably multiple times—and they’re still actively choosing to not correct that behavior. That is them disrespecting your boundaries and not giving a fuck about how they’re making you feel. Is someone like that really someone you’re comfortable being with? Or have you been settling? I ask you again, if nothing in your relationship were to change, and it were to continue on forever as it has, as it is now, would you be happy with that life, truthfully? With that person? Is that something you can gladly accept? If the answer is no, I urge you to please quit seeing their potential and consider if they truly are the partner for you and if you genuinely see yourself completely satisfied with them based on what they’ve shown you so far. Don’t look at what they could be or what they could do. Look at what they are and what they are doing. Prioritize your contentment; if the voice inside your head is telling you that the person you’re with isn’t right for you, please pay attention to that. Intuition exists for a reason. Don’t stay if you know you’ll probably regret doing so later. You deserve the love you’ve always dreamed of having, and it’s somewhere out there waiting for you. I promise.

You screamed,

You yelled,

I never listened.

You shamed,

You criticized,

I never argued.

You left,

You wept,

I wasn’t freed.

You attacked,

You raged,

I never stopped you.

“I have learned that when sadness comes to visit me, all I can do is say “I see you.” I spend some time with it, get up, and say goodbye. I don’t push it away. I own it. And because I own it, I let it go.”

obviously feel free to add more. Despite me not being the creator of the thread I still encourage others to see and share more information

i could be completely off-base with this, but I very much think Taylor’s second love interest of color in a music video being an Asian American man in the middle of a pandemic that has increased racism and xenophobia against Asian people was a powerful choice and subtle statement, especially the shot of them coming face to face inches away from each other

One of the most profound things to me in the documentary was said by Jack. That you making the decision not to drive over the cliff was trying. It was something that touched me so deeply and something I will hold close to my heart.

When Voltaire said "I have wanted to kill myself a hundred times, but somehow I am still in love with life. This ridiculous weakness is perhaps one of our more stupid melancholy propensities, for is there anything more stupid than to be eager to go on carrying a burden which one would gladly throw away, to loathe one’s very being and yet to hold it fast, to fondle the snake that devours us until it has eaten our hearts away?"
