~VAN GOGH, Vincent.
But each deed you do, each act, binds you to itself and to its consequences, and makes you act again and yet again. Then very seldom do you come upon a space, a time like this, between act and act, when you may stop and simply be. Or wonder who, after all, you are.
~LE GUIN, Ursula k.

I will love you forever
and we will never be
in the same room

I hope that you never, not even for one second, become a secondary character in your own story.
but when you are attracted to people, it's because of the details. Their kindness. Their eyes. Their smile. The fact that they can get you to laugh when you need it the most.
People who didn't need people needed people around to know that they were the kind of people who didn't need people.
~PRATCHETT, Terry, Maskerade.
I am so sorry you had a traumatic childhood and it made you stupid on line. I was raised as a lotus flower and I smell like vanilla all the time.
It is the phenomenon sometimes called “alienation from self.” In its advanced stages, we no longer answer the telephone, because someone might want something; that we could say no without drowning in self-reproach is an idea alien to this game. Every encounter demands too much, tears the nerves, drains the will, and the specter of something as small as an unanswered letter arouses such disproportionate guilt that answering it becomes out of the question.
~DIDION, Joan, On Self-Respect, 1961.
“When you feel perpetually unmotivated, you start questioning your existence in an unhealthy way; everything becomes a pseudo intellectual question you have no interest in responding whatsoever. This whole process becomes your very skin and it does not merely affect you; it actually defines you. So, you see yourself as a shadowy figure unworthy of developing interest, unworthy of wondering about the world - profoundly unworthy in every sense and deeply absent in your very presence.”
~BERGMAN, Ingmar.
Armaments, universal debt, and planned obsolescence—those are the three pillars of Western prosperity. If war, waste, and moneylenders were abolished, you'd collapse. And while you people are overconsuming the rest of the world sinks more and more deeply into chronic disaster.

A man will always take you to his level. Either it's up or down. Choose wisely.
You will be too raw for some. You will be too loud, too big, too fierce, too quiet, too deep. These are not your people.
~LOURIE, S.C.
You don’t find your worth in someone. You find your worth within yourself and then find someone who’s worthy of you. Remember that.
You spend 100% of your life with yourself. Your first priority should be to love and impress yourself with your heart, mindset, talents, behavior & intelligence.
filmmakers who adapt classic gothic literature for the screen: damn i'm not reading that book no matter hWHAT.
It's crazy how you have to choose to be different and then once you do it's not even over - you have to choose it again and again forever and yes one day it will feel so natural you don't even notice it anymore but there is no short cut to there, just willpower and repetition.
