sex healing thinking
It's the ground that we walk on, it's where we sit, it's the language that we use. It's a difficult undertaking, but I think without healing that and creating more of a balance between the sexes, we will never have balance globally. I feel like I am going deeper and deeper into this space where I came from that I barely understood.
pain rain book
Outside sleep's open window, between the drops of rain, history is writing a recipe book for every earthly pain.
politics crash asks
No one's gonna sympathize when we crash, they'll say you hit what you head for, you get what you ask.
philosophy staring feels
Feel free to listen, feel free to stare.
philosophy names want
I cannot name this, I cannot explain this, and I really don't want to so just call me shameless.
art culture alternatives
There is no alternative. A Democrat is a Republican is a big businessman, and we're all consumers instead of citizens. It just manifests in the culture, in the music, in the art. I feel a little panicky about it.
philosophy disillusionment
I have earned my disillusionment.
philosophy light tunnels
I would rather have these things weigh on my mind. At the end of this tunnel of guilt and shame, there must be a light of some kind.
girl philosophy blood
I'm the color me happy girl, Miss live and let live. And when they're out for blood, I always give.
thinking trying waste
I never try to imagine the future. I kinda think it's a waste of time. I live in the now.
sex sleep night
At night when you're asleep, self-hatred's going to creep in. And you can blame it on the devil, the one who's bed you sleep in.
fire lines shots
Those who call the shots are never in the line of fire.
moving thinking labels
I think it is very useful to know ourselves, but when we start naming and labeling, that is dangerous, that gets problematic. It negates that things are always changing. Besides, it's hard to pin a label onto something that's always moving.
animal lgbt way
What I like way better than LGBT in terms of labeling sexuality actually is a scheme that comes to me from my friend Animal Prufrock wherein one is identified not by what they supposedly "are" but rather by what they are into. Which brings us to the terms hemosexual, shemosexual, and mosexual.
