“I loved you well, and was loved. Deep love endures to the end and far past the end. If this is my end, I am not lonely. I am not afraid. I am still yours.”— Robinson Jeffers, from Be Angry At The Sun: Pomes; “Contemplation of the Sword,”
“The waves pulse and pulse like hearts.”— Sylvia Plath, from The Collected Poems: “The Beast,”
I hardly use tumblr anymore but hey if you’re still around with me I finally cut so much of my hair off (it was to my waist until about a month ago!) and decided it was time to dye it my dream green color. Tired of confirming due to social pressure from coworkers, parents and overall my peers. Taking this time this year to love myself enough to take bold steps in my life
“Love is possible only if two people communicate with each other from the center of their existence, hence if each one of them experiences himself from the center of his existence. Only in this ‘central experience’ is human reality, only here is aliveness, only here is the basis for love. Love, experienced thus, is a constant challenge; it is not a resting place, but a moving, growing, working together; even whether there is harmony or conflict, joy or sadness, is secondary to the fundamental fact that two people experience themselves from the essence of their existence, that they are one with each other by being one with themselves, rather than by fleeing from themselves. There is only one proof for the presence of love: the depth of the relationship, and the aliveness and strengths in each person concerned; this is the fruit by which love is recognized.”
- Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving, 1956

me: *scares myself to the point where I can’t even function because of the anxiety I have created over a situation*
the situation: *works out fine*
me: oh

When art is your only decent coping mechanism and when you don’t do Enough art you feel like shit because your output is intrinsically tied to your feelings of self worth and accomplishment

being 100% comfortable around somebody is something that is so rare but when you find it, it is so beautiful, and safe, and comforting.
