When Dostoevsky wrote "I want to talk about everything with at least one person as I talk about things with myself"

and Ishikawa Takuboku wrote "just for once i want a love that feels like plunging my flushed cheeks into deep soft snow.”

and Warsan Shire wrote "Mother says there are locked rooms inside all women; kitchen of lust, bedroom of grief, bathroom of apathy. Sometimes, the men - they come with keys, and sometimes, the men - they come with hammers"

“you tried to change, didn’t you? closed your mouth more, tried to be softer, prettier, less volatile, less awake… you can’t make homes out of human beings. someone should have already told you that.”

bury a friend by theinvisiblemuseum (@theinvisiblemuseum)

sober thoughts by moonymoment + zeppazariel (@mayescapade + @mayzarbewithyou) though i DID gnash my teeth over the amount of gaming metaphors. Unforgivable Sin.

o meu sozinho

O que quero dizer é: Eu (também) gosto de ser sozinho. Pedaços de tempo e espaço para pensar, processar e imaginar.

Eu não vejo duas coisas (tempo sozinho & tempo com outros) como contraditórios ou mutualmente exclusivos. Penso que tais coisas se complementam.

Não é que eu desgoste de pessoas. É sobre ter padrões. Eu valorizo certa formas de tempo gastas com outros, mas nem toda interação social foi criada para ser igual.

Nunca vi isso ser tão bem articulado quanto na passagem escrita pela poeta Warson Shire quando disse:

My alone feels so good, I'll only have you if you’re sweeter than my solitude.

Sim. É assim que quero operar.

Foi uma imensa realização na minha vida quando finalmente pude ver com clareza que sou consideravelmente mais feliz fora de certos relacionamentos e dinâmicas em que "eu me doaria" em vez de simplesmete existir dentro delas. É uma coisa óbvia de falar quando se lê em pleno portugês assim, mas eu não via isso antes.

Creio que tenha algo haver com auto-respeito.

"...later that night I held an atlas on my lap, ran my fingers across the whole world and whispered, where does it hurt? It answered, everywhere everywhere everywhere." ~ Warson Shire

you can't make homes out of human beings someone should have already told you that and if he wants to leave then let him leave you are terrifying and strange and beautiful something not everyone knows how to love.

from warson shire’s for women who are ‘difficult’ to love (2017)

Dear Moon.

We blame you for floods for the flush of blood for men who are also wolves and even though you could pull the tide in by its hair we tell people that we walked all over you we blame you for the night for the dark for the ghosts you cold unimaginable thing following us home, we use you to see each others frail naked bodies beneath your blue light, we let you watch; you swollen against the glass breath a halo of steam as we move against one another wet and desperate like fish under a waterlogged sky
