Just little quotes here and there.

Carl Jung says:

The world is full of people suffering from the effects of their own unlived life. They become bitter, critical, or rigid, not because the world is cruel to them, but because they have betrayed their own inner possibilities. The artist who never makes art becomes cynical about those who do.

The lover who never risks loving mocks romance. The thinker who never commits to a philosophy sneers at belief itself. And yet, all of them suffer, because deep down they know: the life they mock is the life they were meant to live.

“When someone does something wrong, don’t forget all the things they did right.”

Late-night temptation,

lips burning bright like stars.

Passions ignite the night,

moans released like comets from the sky.

In an embrace like no other,

you and I ascend.

We burn so bright as we leave everything behind,

exploding in the skies only to fall.

And yet, we rise higher,

infinitely higher each time,

lost in the forever of our eyes.

Beyond the reach of anything but this love inside,

melding us into one.

Bare

Keep on haunting me In the nights, when I am without Cerebral defences.

Stay.

Here, at the Playground of soul, Where you first and wholly Coalesced with me — all a human Can be, Metaphysically.

Keep on haunting me.

Here, Where there is no Pre-concept Of individuality, left; No desire, nor need For Any proof, Or validation, Of existing. No need, Or desire to Be.

Stay.

Here, where Time and space Have lost hold of their reins; Where images and shapes Only exist When, and, if, they are needed To catalyse that spark, ignited, At our first and lasting comprehension Of infinity.

Meet me At our etch within the ever-expanding Fabric Of the universe; That mark, That burning, too deep, That left a minute, yet everlasting Puncture within all presence's veil.

One day, We will escape Together. Until Then, Keep on Haunting me, There.

Last month, I was in a voice acting class, and the note my tutor gave me has stayed with me:

You need to stop holding back.

When you've grown up in an environment where you are expected hold back everything - grief, anger, joy; to be measured and appropriate in your expression of emotion... how do you undo all that? How do you unlock the barriers to the floodgates when you're still living in that situation? When there is such a thing as 'too much grief' because you are immediately branded as ' too sensitive' by the people you live with, how do you pull out all the stops?

I read poems to remember,

write poems to forget—

myself.

“Won’t you give me one kiss? It’ll be something to keep off the darkness now and then.”

— Bram Stoker, from Dracula

[frofc]

a parting kiss

should last

as long as

it takes

to return

I wanted to be more than just a friend because our bond was special, I could never really define what it was, friendship or love, maybe we were something more than just friends and a little too close to be lovers.

[books-n-quotes]

Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they’ve all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe.

Neil Gaiman, The Sandman (via books-n-quotes)

As I grow older, I pay less attention to what people say. I just watch what they do.
