Stay Strong, Make Them Wonder How You’re Still Smiling.

A faerie introduces himself. Then, holding out a hand, asks, “And your name, please?”

And, like a fool, you give it to him.

Teach your daughters their battle cries are needed far more than their silence and hear them deafen the world with their fearlessness.

Nikita Gill (via meanwhilepoetry)

“I want you to destroy me. Mind, Spirit, Body, And all.”

— a.y. (via inksomniac)

Sighing, like a hidden wind

I see your face

and breathe again

There is a light which shines

over secrets in our lives

Shines for you, and me

my friend

stars in my eyes,

stars in my heart

give me light to see

I wish, I wish

with all my soul and art

Shadows come, and shadows go

flicker fade into,

and out of existence

No resistance against the light

like a shadow in the sun

You were gone,

now you’re here

never too far away, my dear

still

You and I are one

As long as I could keep improving my mind, I figured, I was doing okay.

Saul Bellow, The Adventures of Augie March (via quotespile)
