Jenny. Awkward, indecisive, restless. Forever in love with the night and everything lovely.









Now all you can do is wait. It must be hard for you, but there is a right time for everything. Like the ebb and flow of tides. No one can do anything to change them. When it is time to wait, you must wait.

As you walk and eat and travel, be where you are. Otherwise you will miss most of your life.

I was within and without. Simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.

F. Scott Fitzgerald (via davefrancoishot)





My dear,
Find what you love and let it kill you.
Let it drain you of your all.
Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.
Let it kill you and let it devour your remains.
For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.

Charles Bukowski (via wryer)

I placed a few nouns
in beautiful cages
then let them out.

Matthew Zapruder, “Poem for Japan” (via larmoyante)





But even so, every now and then I would feel a violent stab of loneliness. The very water I drink, the very air I breathe, would feel like long, sharp needles. The pages of a book in my hands would take on the threatening metallic gleam of razor blades. I could hear the roots of loneliness creeping through me when the world was hushed at four o’clock in the morning.

Immature people falling in love destroy each other’s freedom, create a bondage, make a prison. Mature persons in love help each other to be free; they help each other to destroy all sorts of bondages. And when love flows with freedom there is beauty. When love flows with dependence there is ugliness.

A mature person does not fall in love, he or she rises in love. Only immature people fall; they stumble and fall down in love. Somehow they were managing and standing. Now they cannot manage and they cannot stand. They were always ready to fall on the ground and to creep. They don’t have the backbone, the spine; they don’t have the integrity to stand alone.

A mature person has the integrity to stand alone. And when a mature person gives love, he or she gives without any strings attached to it. When two mature persons are in love, one of the great paradoxes of life happens, one of the most beautiful phenomena: they are together and yet tremendously alone. They are together so much that they are almost one. Two mature persons in love help each other to become more free. There is no politics involved, no diplomacy, no effort to dominate. Only freedom and love.

Osho (via phantogrampandora)





ugh — 9:48 pm

I’m writing/editing my essay on gender equality and seeking out resources and whatnot and I keep reading the comments and arguments below and I need to stop because I get so confused about the subject and my perspective keeps changing because I try and differentiate what seems to be right and what seems to be wrong but at the same time going with my own instinct and feelings and thoughts and it really sucks sometimes because I am so heavily influenced by ideas and debates in ways that result in me unable to make a decision or pick a side or anything like that and I don’t know if it’s because I’m so open minded to everything or I’m just confused or naive or dumb and normally I wouldn’t mind so much, but regarding this speech/essay I have no idea what to put down that would make sense and be fair and I want the audience to understand and really think about it. Someone was grading/critiquing my draft last week and said “you’ve got the girls on your side, appeal to males!” And I don’t even know, because I really do believe in equality for both sexes and that men do suffer and I want them to really think about the issue but at the same time women have suffered a whole lot and continue to in so many forms and they’re undeniably important and I’m just so scatter brained and conflicted and the more passionate I get about the topic the more confused (but educated) I get and I just don’t want to even write this speech anymore.
