“Let yourself be strangely drawn by the quiet pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.”

i don’t know who needs to hear this today but i’m so proud of how far you’ve come! i’m proud of every little step you took to improve yourself. i’m proud of everything you did to make yourself feel better & putting yourself first. i’m glad you’ve made progress & i’m glad you’re still alive! i’m glad you tried & made the effort even though it is tough to do so. i’m so proud of you!

Life & Love
When you have nobody you can make a cup of tea for, when nobody needs you, that’s when I think life is over. ― Audrey Hepburn
and when nobody wakes you up in the morning, and when nobody waits for you at night, and when you can do whatever you want. what do you call it, freedom or loneliness? ― Charles Bukowski
Poetry
““And i will tell thee stories of the sky,…””
— John Keats, from “endymion”. (via parasoli)
strong quote
“Without love and trust, resentment is the only thing that’s left.” ― Mieko Kawakami, Breasts and Eggs
Women
’I can give her no greater power than she has already,’ said the woman; ‘don’t you see how strong that is? How men and animals are obliged to serve her, and how well she has got through the world, barefooted as she is. She cannot receive any power from me greater than she now has, which consists in her own purity and innocence of heart. If she cannot herself obtain access to the Snow Queen, and remove the glass fragments from little Kai, we can do nothing to help her…’
The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen
Being an Artist.
“I talk about the gods, I am an atheist. But I am an artist too, and therefore a liar. Distrust everything I say. I am telling the truth. The only truth I can understand or express is, logically defined, a lie. Psychologically defined, as symbol. Aesthetically defined, a metaphor.”
— The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin
Pearls in the sky.
wow can’t believe jupiter is actually trans <3
Space in between, the space around, the space in the mind.
Me and the other.
Le Guin forever
« I think what you mostly do when you find you really are alone is to panic. You rush to the opposite extreme and pack yourself into groups - clubs, teams, societies, types. You suddenly start dressing exactly like the others. It’s a way of being invisible. The way you sew the patches on the holes in your blue jeans becomes incredibly important. If you do it wrong you’re not with it. That’s a peculiar phrase, you know? With it. With what? With them. With the others. All together. Safety in numbers. I’m not me. […] I’m a popular kid. I’m my friend’s friend. […] I’m a member. […] You can’t see me, all you can see is us. We’re safe. And if We see You standing alone by yourself, if you’re lucky we’ll ignore you. If you’re not lucky, we might throw rocks. Because we don’t like people standing there with the wrong kind of patches on their jeans reminding us that we’re each alone and none of us is safe. »
