“I’ve often thought of a female Christ. David told me there’s one in a church in Montreal. Mostly the world can’t take it. Because of people’s feelings about the delicacy of women and also because of what a meaningless display female suffering simply is. If you belittle us in school, treat us like slaves at home and finally, if you get a woman alone in bed just tell her she’s all wrong, no matter what sex you are… or maybe you just grab one on the street and fuck her real fast– in an alley, or in her own bed. I mean if that’s the way it usually goes for this girl what would be the point in seeing her half nude and nailed up? Where’s the contradiction? could that drive the culture for 2,000 years? No way. Female suffering must be hidden, or nothing can work. It’s a man’s world and a girl on a cross would be like seeing a dead animal in a trap. We like to eat them, or see them stuffed, we even like to wear them, but watch them suffer? Hear them wail? The complaining lines were expunged from Florence Nightingale’s book.” - Eileen Myles, Cool for You

DO YOU THINK I AM AN AUTOMATON?—A MACHINE WITHOUT FEELINGS? AND CAN BEAR TO HAVE MY MORSEL OF BREAD SNATCHED FROM MY LIPS, AND MY DROP OF LIVING WATER DASHED FROM MY CUP? DO YOU THINK BECAUSE I AM POOR, OBSCURE, PLAIN, AND LITTLE, I AM SOULLESS AND HEARTLESS?—YOU THINK WRONG!—I HAVE AS MUCH SOUL AS YOU,—AND FULL AS MUCH HEART! AND IF GOD HAD GIFTED ME WITH SOME BEAUTY AND MUCH WEALTH, I SHOULD HAVE MADE IT AS HARD FOR YOU TO LEAVE ME, AS IT IS NOW FOR ME TO LEAVE YOU. I AM NOT TALKING TO YOU NOW THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF CUSTOM, CONVENTIONALITIES, NOR EVEN OF MORTAL FLESH:—IT IS MY SPIRIT THAT ADDRESSES YOUR SPIRIT; JUST AS IF BOTH HAD PASSED THROUGH THE GRAVE, AND WE STOOD AT GOD’S FEET, EQUAL—AS WE ARE!

Communication goes a long way. If you’re busy, say it. If you’re upset, express it. If you’re late, let people know. If you’re unsure, ask. It’s so simple but so important.

““I have been in love with no one, and never shall,” she whispered, “unless it should be with you.””

People often mistake “your feelings are valid” with “your reaction based on your feelings is ok”
Which isn’t the same thing
You’re entitled to how you feel. You’re not entitled to behave however you want based off of those feelings
