“Mon cœur est devenu capable de toutes les formes. Une prairie pour les gazelles, un couvent pour les moines. Un temple pour les idoles, une Ka'ba pour le pèlerin. Les Tables de la Thora, le Livre du Coran. Je professe la religion de l'Amour, et quelque direction, Que prenne sa monture, l'Amour est ma religion et Ma foi.”

— Ibn Arabî, L’Interprète Des Désirs

“Je le reconnaîtrais rien qu'au toucher, ou à son odeur, je le reconnaîtrais si j'étais aveugle, aux seuls bruits de sa respiration et de ses pas martelant le sol. Je le reconnaîtrais dans la mort, à la fin du monde.”

I’m mature enough to admit that I’m the reason for some failed friendships/relationships. I apologize

Take a couple of moments to just appreciate yourself. Look at how far you’ve come. Look at how hard you’ve been fighting. Look at how miraculously strong you’ve been.

“If a society puts half its children into short skirts and warns them not to move in ways that reveal their panties, while putting the other half into jeans and overalls and encouraging them to climb trees, play ball, and participate in other vigorous outdoor games; if later, during adolescence, the children who have been wearing trousers are urged to “eat like growing boys,” while the children in skirts are warned to watch their weight and not get fat; if the half in jeans runs around in sneakers or boots, while the half in skirts totters about on spike heels, then these two groups of people will be biologically as well as socially different. Their muscles will be different, as will their reflexes, posture, arms, legs and feet, hand-eye coordination, and so on. Similarly, people who spend eight hours a day in an office working at a typewriter or a visual display terminal will be biologically different from those who work on construction jobs. There is no way to sort the biological and social components that produce these differences. We cannot sort nature from nurture when we confront group differences in societies in which people from different races, classes, and sexes do not have equal access to resources and power, and therefore live in different environments. Sex-typed generalizations, such as that men are heavier, taller, or stronger than women, obscure the diversity among women and among men and the extensive overlaps between them… Most women and men fall within the same range of heights, weights, and strengths, three variables that depend a great deal on how we have grown up and live. We all know that first-generation Americans, on average, are taller than their immigrant parents and that men who do physical labor, on average, are stronger than male college professors. But we forget to look for the obvious reasons for differences when confronted with assertions like ‘Men are stronger than women.’ We should be asking: ‘Which men?’ and ‘What do they do?’ There may be biologically based average differences between women and men, but these are interwoven with a host of social differences from which we cannot disentangle them.”

J’aimerais trouver les mots. À nouveau. Comme quand j’avais 16 ans. Ma vie était chaotique mais tout paraissait si simple sur papier. Je ne quittais pas la maison sans mon carnet pour écrire. Et je ne faisais que ça toute la journée. Maintenant c’est limite si écrire une liste de courses est une épreuve. Et ça me manque. J’ai toujours trouvé un refuge dans l’écriture et maintenant je n’ai même plus ça pour m’aider. Je ne fais que m’abrutir devant des séries pour ados. Sauf que je suis plus une ado. Et la vie est devenue soudainement bien plus compliquée encore. Je me sens lasse. Plus rien n’a d’importance à nouveau. Je me demande bien comment je vais faire pour m’adapter à tout ce chaos. Parce que je suis déjà fatiguée et l’année scolaire n’a pas commencé.

Think about all of those moments you thought that you were never going to make it. Now look where you are. You are truly doing such a phenomenal job.
