They had a good and loving marriage, the heat between them had remained, and still they had arrived at the decision together, with the desire for growth and new discoveries. At first Rafi was unsure if he would ever want another woman. He thought he might be like his father, for whom his mother had remained the main force in his life, and to whom his father had remained entirely dedicated. And then, while at a residency abroad, Rafi slept with a much younger dancer from Korea, with whom he thought he was in love, until he met another from Thailand who blew his mind. When he returned home, the Thai woman broke things off from Bangkok, and after some weeks of pain, there was a very young French woman, then two or three Israelis. Meanwhile, during that time, his wife went to the beach with their children, and while they played in the waves with the dog, she met and fell in love with a man fifteen years younger than her. Rafi and his wife had not made any rules before they started. To make rules about freedom had seemed antithetical; either that, or they had been too impatient to hold the dreary, diplomatic conference that would have been necessary to establish such rules. But very quickly it had become clear that the absence of rules led to enormous pain, and though love can be mutual and shared, pain only ever happens in a place of radical aloneness.

Imagine if people applied the same logic they do to trans people writing about gender to literally any other subject. Sorry Noah Kahan but I have never had any feelings about the small town I live in so you clearly don’t know what it’s like to live in a small town

The first time I listened to this song it legitimately brought me to my knees. I broke.

Songs normally speak to me but this hit me on such a personal level that I can't even begin to explain.

To all my brothers out there, you are not alone. Please don't struggle in silence.

Fuck you!

I'm gonna kick your ass!

Fuck you!

I'm taking you down!

Fuck you!

It wasn't that he didn't wish he could sleep next to someone, he told her now. He simply couldn't find any peace that way. He remained alert, on edge, and so it could take him hours to fall asleep, a problem that was exacerbated by the fact that he knew that if he didn't get enough sleep, he was likely to get a migraine. He had been getting migraines since he was thirteen. They arrived with an aura that blacked out parts of his vision, and when they came the only thing he could do was curl up in a fetal position until they passed.  Though it was impossible to say exactly what caused them, he was certain that lack of sleep was a factor, and so sleep had become of paramount importance. Only when he was alone did he feel at peace, and then he fell asleep moments after his head touched the pillow. It had been like that always, he told her. The last time he could remember sleeping well with someone next to him was when he was five, and had asked his mother to sit by the bed and hold his hand. But he still remembered the serenity of that, the goodness. And yet, whenever the German Boxer spoke of the unhappiness his inability had caused his wife and other women since her, his tone became frustrated and resentful: Why couldn't they understand that it was bad for him to share a bed? That it caused him to suffer?

Dax - "To Be A Man" (MEGA REMIX) [ft. Atlus, Phix, Brutha Rick, The Medi...

Deep and meaningful message. I’ve always thought that the way men are raised is very harsh. To tell a human they can not express hard emotions feels cruel and makes the human experience worse. It is in ones most vulnerable times that you learn of how strong you truely are. And to not release emotions is to keep them haboured up inside which could cause Dis-Ease and Depression. Grown men and Grown women need to be genuine and speak from the heart always.

Don't ever lie to an overthinker, because it never ends well

They've trained their brains to find holes in stories,

So if stuff doesn't make sense, they're going to think about it over and over and over until it makes sense

Trust me, I know, I am that person

This is for all the kings out there, ya ain't alone.

there is no man anywhere so difficult, that there is not some woman somewhere dying to take care of him
