“How can I accept a limited definable self when I feel, in me, all possibilities? I never feel the four walls around the substance of the self, the core. I feel only space. Illimitable space.”

I spend time with men who adore me, who would give me the world if I asked them to. Who are interesting and exciting, who treat me like I am the only one for them and I can feel other womens' envy. But all I think about is you, is you. I close my eyes and suddenly their hands are yours, I feel them touch me, I look down and see the little mark on your finger and I know I will always wish for you.

— Anaïs Nin

letting yourself be known is mortifying because you quickly realize how many people truly cannot handle knowing others’ complexity and you start to wonder if you should even try. the answer is yes but it’s still terrifying sometimes, and that’s fine
