“Anxiety, heartbreak, and tenderness mark the in-between state. It’s the kind of place we usually want to avoid. The challenge is to stay in the middle rather than buy into struggle and complaint. The challenge is to let it soften us rather than make us more rigid and afraid. Becoming intimate with the queasy feeling of being in the middle of nowhere only makes our hearts more tender. When we are brave enough to stay in the middle, compassion arises spontaneously. By not knowing, not hoping to know, and not acting like we know what’s happening, we begin to access our inner strength.”

— Pema Chodron, “The In-between State” (via loneliestgirl15)

relax, Sweetie.

When I find the pusher in my body, its hand stretched across the back of the base of my neck in a wide grip, pusher’s whole body gets behind its long strong arm and pushes me forward and too fast but also down at the top, at the head — encouraging me to rush and hurry and do more and faster and who cares if you’re bent crooked and miserable in the process. Pusher encourages me almost to the point of dangerous face plant.

What is pusher protecting me from — from external pushers whose goal is to push me into face plant and roll over me, quashing squashing my existence.

If my internal pusher keeps pushing me first maybe I can keep out front running away at the edge where I’m almost… allowed honest existence.

"As to the roaming of sages, They move in utter emptiness, Let their minds meander in the great nothingness; They run beyond convention And go through where there is no gateway. They listen to the soundless And look at the formless, They are not constrained by society. And not bound to its custom."

“Prisons do not disappear social problems, they disappear human beings. Homelessness, unemployment, drug addiction, mental illness, and illiteracy are only a few of the problems that disappear from public view when the human beings contending with them are relegated to cages.” ― Angela Davis

Berlusconi.

silvio berlusconi dies and everyone is going to say he was a self made man and a political leader but don't be fooled by the revisionism he was a crook a sexual predator a misogynist a racist and a homophobe he plunged a country into economical crisis and culturally destroyed it while he was at it he was a deeply ignorant unintelligent egotistical entitled man who should've never be allowed to get into and more importantly stay in politics for as long as he did he was responsible for the intellectual impoverishment of a nation and he set back feminism by approximately 30 years he was a brute and i hope the flames of hell are melting all his botox and plastic hair as we speak

Capitalism is a death sentence for the human race
