i will shed the skin i’ve grown—

so tough and yet so soft

i will be reborn again

from blood, from suffering, yet again

i will remake what it means to be me

what it means to be strong

and what it means to be soft.

{Words by José Olivarez from Citizen Illegal /@fatimaamerbilal , from even flesh eaters don't want me.}

[thoughtkick]

I like how sleeping next to someone means more than sex sometimes, the body’s way of saying ‘I trust you to be by my side at my most vulnerable time,’ you have no defenses when you are asleep, you tell no lies

Eric Shaw

[minimalist-quotes]

You think attention is love and that’s why you suffer so deeply.

There is nothing that attracts me more than a deep, honest, serene, and truly meaningful conversation.
