gentle reminder you can rise up from everything. you can recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you are not stuck. you have choices. you can think new thoughts. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.
"Gentle autumn moments..."
i personally love to minimize the possibility of me dying. that's why i don't put my head in the oven, don't date men, don't jump off a cliff, don't shoot myself in the head, don't date men, don't drink battery acid and don't date men.
i think everyone should drop out of school and follow an unclear path
Grandmas were so right about puzzles and knitting and crocheting and solitaire and reading slow and slippers and baking and watching deer in the backyard send post
βDon't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.β

"you will burn and you will burn out; you will be healed and come back again." - Fyodor Dostoevsky
women create life and then men appropriate it by giving his name to the child; βsheβs pregnant with his childβ, βweβre pregnantβ weβre expectingβ; he celebrates the βdad bodβ. contemporarly, men say itβs womenβs job to reproduce, itβs her duty, itβs her purpose; her pregnant and post-partum body is ruined and disgusting, she canβt βlet herself goβ, she needs to do better and βget back on trackβ.
women create community, art, technology and then men appropriate it by locking her away and stealing her labour, energy and time. contemporarly, men say she has to serve his unilateral society, he calls her art bland or absurd, her technology is forgotten, stolen or unimportant; nothing is ever enough to compare to his society, his art, his technology, she always needs to do better.
do you see the connection? this is why i say creation is female. a man can only create because a woman decided to create him first. this is why patriarchy destroys.
