«Ho paura, ma non capisco di cosa» mi disse una volta. «La sento continuamente. A volte arrivo quasi a capire di cosa si tratta, ma poi, quando sono sul punto di vederla, quella cosa scompare e io resto lì, imbambolato, a chiedermi cos’era.»

Richard Brautigan, American Dust. Prima che il vento si porti via tutto (via luomocheleggevalibri)

Bisogna essere molto forti per amare la solitudine.

Ci sono muri interiori altissimi che si sgretolano di fronte a un gesto di pura tenerezza.

«Sono… stordito dal niente che mi circonda… Se in questo momento impazzissi, io credo che la mia pazzia sarebbe di seder sempre cogli occhi attoniti, colla bocca aperta, colle mani tra le ginocchia, senza né ridere né piangere, né muovermi altro che per forza dal luogo dove mi trovassi. Non ho più lena di concepire nessun desiderio, neanche della morte, non perch’io la tema in nessun conto, ma non vedo più divario tra la morte e questa mia vita, dove non viene più a consolarmi neppure il dolore. Questa è la prima volta che la noia non solamente mi opprime e stanca, ma mi affanna e lacera come un dolor gravissimo; e sono così spaventato della vanità di tutte le cose, e della condizione degli uomini, morte tutte le passioni, come sono spente nell’animo mio, che ne vo fuori di me, considerando ch’è un niente anche la mia disperazione».

Giacomo Leopardi, in una lettera a Pietro Giordani, 19 novembre 1819 (da Lettere)

masturbating with a face mask on is the peak of self care

How to talk to your daughter about her body, step one: Don’t talk to your daughter about her body, except to teach her how it works. Don’t say anything if she’s lost weight. Don’t say anything if she’s gained weight. If you think your daughter’s body looks amazing, don’t say that. Here are some things you can say instead: “You look so healthy!” is a great one. Or how about, “You’re looking so strong.” “I can see how happy you are – you’re glowing.” Better yet, compliment her on something that has nothing to do with her body. Don’t comment on other women’s bodies either. Nope. Not a single comment, not a nice one or a mean one. Teach her about kindness towards others, but also kindness towards yourself. Don’t you dare talk about how much you hate your body in front of your daughter, or talk about your new diet. In fact, don’t go on a diet in front of your daughter. Buy healthy food. Cook healthy meals. But don’t say, “I’m not eating carbs right now.” Your daughter should never think that carbs are evil, because shame over what you eat only leads to shame about yourself. Encourage your daughter to run because it makes her feel less stressed. Encourage your daughter to climb mountains because there is nowhere better to explore your spirituality than the peak of the universe. Encourage your daughter to surf, or rock climb, or mountain bike because it scares her and that’s a good thing sometimes. Help your daughter love soccer or rowing or hockey because sports make her a better leader and a more confident woman. Explain that no matter how old you get, you’ll never stop needing good teamwork. Never make her play a sport she isn’t absolutely in love with. Prove to your daughter that women don’t need men to move their furniture. Teach your daughter how to cook kale. Teach your daughter how to bake chocolate cake made with six sticks of butter. Pass on your own mom’s recipe for Christmas morning coffee cake. Pass on your love of being outside. Maybe you and your daughter both have thick thighs or wide ribcages. It’s easy to hate these non-size zero body parts. Don’t. Tell your daughter that with her legs she can run a marathon if she wants to, and her ribcage is nothing but a carrying case for strong lungs. She can scream and she can sing and she can lift up the world, if she wants. Remind your daughter that the best thing she can do with her body is to use it to mobilize her beautiful soul.
