Misogyny as policy treats women as 'less than'.

There is no law that controls a man's body. Now do the same for women.

Equal protection is the law.

Discipline is uncomfortable. It’s even harder when you realise how far you’ve let yourself go and how much work is required for you to transform yourself into someone you can be proud of again. I say the word ‘again’ loosely because some of us have never felt the true bliss attached to experiencing a harmonious life, where everything just falls into place, and there’s nothing that needs fixing. This may seem like an unachievable dream to some, but for those who’ve made it to the other side, you know that the pain of discipline is worth every pinch if it means you get to become the architect of your life and create an existence that you feel safe in. Discipline is the greatest gift you can give to yourself. It’s embodied in security, purpose, and peace of mind. It’s not a form of punishment.

“Most people carry that pain around inside them their whole lives, until they kill the pain by other means, or until it kills them. But you, my friends, you found another way: a way to use the pain. To burn it as fuel, for light and warmth. You have learned to break the world that has tried to break you.”

— Lev Grossman

Mr. Gaiman, how do you process grief? sorry I come here and ask this out of nowhere, but somehow I feel like you're the only person who can explain it to me. lost my dad two months ago and I feel like it's only gotten worse.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

You process grief slowly, at your own pace and in your own way.

Time will heal, or at least scab over the wound. And in the meantime, you keep on going because the world will keep on going.

It's okay to cry, okay not to cry. When my father died I didn't cry for him for months, until one day I was reading a story by a friend and someone died in the story I'd only met a few pages earlier and I found myself weeping like a baby. And then I started to surface from the numbness and the pain.

Don't let anyone tell you what they think you should be feeling. And if they do tell you, ignore them.

There isn't a schedule for this stuff. There's just grief and time.
