Conversation demands equality between participants. Indeed, it is one of the most important ways of establishing equality. Its enemies are rhetoric, disputation, jargon and private languages, or despair at not being listened to and not being understood.
Theodore Zeldin, “An Intimate History of Humanity”
Amen.

Amen.

I was at the mercy of my own desire. Genuine desire, fierce and real. I was an idiot.
Kushiel’s Justice, Jacqueline Carey

“Joscelin, is love supposed to make you feel like you’re sick and dying, and mad enough to hit someone, and drunk with joy, and your heart’s a boulder in your chest trying to burst into a thousand pieces, all at once?”

“Mm-hmm…That would be love.”

Kushiel’s Justice, Jacqueline Carey

“We dream in narrative, daydream in narrative, remember, anticipate, hope, despair, believe, doubt, plan, revise, criticize, construct, gossip, learn, hate, and love by narrative.”

—Barbara Hardy

SO, HOW’S SCHOOL?
I met a girl.
RUN. RUN AS FAR AWAY AS YOU CAN. RUN, LEST YOUR HEART BE BROKEN AND YOUR DREAMS SHATTERED. RUN, THAT YOU MAY BE SPARED THE INEQUITY OF PLEADING FOR CLOSURE, THE MISERY OF A THOUSAND SLEEPLESS NIGHTS BEGGING FOR THE SCENT OF HER HAIR, THE FEEL OF HER HEART BENEATH THE SOFT BONES OF HER CHEST. RUN, OR BE DESTROYED, AT LEAST IN PART, BY THAT WHICH YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND NOR TAME.
Her name’s Shelly.
YEAH, SORRY. I MIGHT HAVE BEEN PROJECTING A BIT THERE.

These are my lovely first three. The two Day of the Dead skulls i chose in appreciation of the holiday. I believe death should be celebrated as a way of life instead of mourned. The quote represents my attitude toward life. Strength and dignity is everything to me and approaching life with a strong fearless attitude is the only way to do it. There are many more to come…
