  1. This is one of those ideas I’ve had for a long time that has often troubled me. And this one is deeply personal.

    There’s a particular kind of ache in giving softness to a world that answers with indifference.

    You keep offering warmth. The world keeps handing back cold.

    And still the question remains: how long can one person hold the better end of that bargain?

  6. we leave so that now

    we leave so that now 
    and then, we will be able to 
    dream about what it 

    would have taken for us to stay 
    in the place where we belonged

  7. A Thought
    The human mind is powerful.

    Sometimes we create problems that don’t even exist, overthink things that don’t matter, and hurt ourselves with thoughts nobody else ever said.
    Maybe peace isn’t about changing everything around us.
    Maybe it starts with learning when to stop fighting with our own mind.

    Have you ever caught yourself doing this? 🤔

  9. A quotation from Samuel Johnson

    He who has so little knowledge of human nature, as to seek happiness by changing any thing but his own dispositions, will waste his life in fruitless efforts, and multiply the griefs which he purposes to remove.

    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
    Essay (1750-04-07), The Rambler, No. 6

  14. A quotation from Mark Twain

    I was afraid of a united Church; it makes a mighty power, the mightiest conceivable, and then when it by and by gets into selfish hands, as it is always bound to do, it means death to human liberty and paralysis to human thought.

    Mark Twain (1835–1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
    Novel (1889), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, Part 3 “The Tale of the Lost Land,” ch. 10 “Beginnings of Civilization”

  24. Google will tell you monogamy offers emotional security and clear boundaries... What it won't mention is that no relationship model has ever successfully contained human desire, curiosity or the need to grow. I am not even starting on boundaries... #relationships #humannature #monogamy

  31. A quotation from Twain

    Unlimited power is the ideal thing when it is in safe hands. The despotism of heaven is the one absolutely perfect government, and earthly despotism would be the absolute perfect earthly government if the conditions were the same; namely the despot the perfectest individual of the human race, and his lease of life perpetual; but as a perishable, perfect man must die and leave his despotism in the hands of an imperfect successor, an earthly despotism is not merely a bad form of government, it is the worst form that is possible.

    Mark Twain (1835-1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
    Novel (1889), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, Part 3 “The Tale of the Lost Land,” ch. 10 “Beginnings of Civilization”
