Quote
Nothing’s changed. You’ll go home. You’ll be bored. You’ll be ignored. No one will listen to you, really listen to you. You’re too clever and too quiet for them to understand. They don’t even get your name right.
Neil Gaiman, Coraline (via theliteraryjournals)

Quote
I wrote to sublimate my rage, from a place where all hope is gone, from a madness of having been damaged too much, from silence of killing rage. I wrote to avenge the betrayals of lifetime, to purge the bitterness or injustice. I wrote with a deep groan of doom in my blood, bewildered and dumbstruck, from an indestructible love of life, to affirm breath and laughter and abiding innocence of things. I wrote the way I wept and danced, and made love.
- Jimmy Santiago Baca, Working in The Dark (via sacrificial-lambs)

I want to talk about what happened without mentioning how much it hurt. There has to be a way. To care for the wounds without reopening them. To name the pain without inviting it back into me.
Lora Mathis, “If There’s A Way Out I’ll Take It” (via wordsnquotes)

I remember when my therapist first explained to me ‘the “honeymoon” phase’. I was so pissed when he told me my parents were at this phase -I hated that term.

The Average Human
Let me introduce you to The Average Human. There is another name for The Average Human; The Average Human is a victim. Average Humans are victims of the weather; they are victims of the attitudes, beliefs and responses of other people. Average Humans are victimized by government, by taxes, by authority figures and by their own belief systems.
The Average Human believes that if he is happy, it is because of situation in his life that are pleasant. He can be happy if he has enough money, good health, a good job and if things are going well in his life.
The Average Human believes that if he is unhappy, it is someone else’s fault. Someone or something has made him unhappy. The Average Human does not know that happiness is a habit. He does not know that unhappiness is a habit.
Paul Solomon-The Meta Human

Perhaps we should love ourselves so fiercely, that when others see us they know exactly how it should be done.
