I want to love and be loved. I want to find a way where I don’t hurt myself. I want to live a life where I say things are good more than things are bad. I want to keep failing and discovering new and better directions. I want to enjoy the tides of feeling in me as the rhythms of life. I want to be the kind of person who can walk inside the vast darkness and find the one fragment of sunlight I can linger in for a long time. Some day, I will.

Baek Sehee, tr. by Anton Hur, from I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki

“Ever since I left my childhood behind, objects, landscapes, ideas, feelings and sensations have grown thicker in time and space; my destiny, once so clear and joyous, even if filled with blood and tears, now takes on a shrunken obscurity.”

— Pierre Guyotat, In the Deep (via sacredwhores)

The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies.

“The idea that sex is something a woman gives a man, and she loses something when she does that, which again for me is nonsense. I want us to raise girls differently where boys and girls start to see sexuality as something that they own, rather than something that a boy takes from a girl.”

— Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
