“I do not want to be the leader. I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don’t mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated. I don’t mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling, be all that I am capable of doing, but I am going to be pursued, fucked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding.” —

Anasis Nin

(I have felt this all my life and have never found it so eloquently put.)

“Everything is so fragile. There’s so much conflict, so much pain… you keep waiting for the dust to settle, and then you realize this is it: the dust is your life going on. If happy comes along, that weird unbearable delight that is actual happy… I think you have to grab it while you can. You take what you can get, ‘cause it’s here, and then… gone…” —Joss Wheedon, Astonishing X Men

YOU MUST RAISE BOYS AND GIRLS THE EXACT SAME WAY.
PURSUING PLEASURE FOR THE SAKE OF PLEASURE WILL RUIN YOU.
LIFELONG FRIENDS ARE A MYTH IN TODAY’S CULTURE.
MONEY BEGATS TASTE.
MANUAL LABOR IS FOR THE UNINTELLIGENT.
THINGS JUST HAPPEN, AND THERE’S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT.
IT’S IMPORTANT TO STAY CLEAN ON AL LEVELS.
IT’S BETTER TO BE JADED THAN NAIVE.
IT’S MAN’S FATE TO OUTSMART HIMSELF.
DON’T MUCK ABOUT WITH THE DETAILS OF YOUR SCHOOLING: YOU’LL ONLY NEED THE BAREST MINIMUM ANYWAY.
SOME WOUNDS WILL NEVER HEAL.
PLEASURING YOURSELF ISN’T HEALTHY; IT’S SOMETHING TO BE ASHAMED OF.
IF YOU CAN’T LEAVE YOUR MARK, GIVE UP.
BEING NEAT AND ORDERLY MEANS YOU HAVE OCD.
YOU CANNOT HAVE FRIENDS OF THE OPPOSITE WITHOUT EVENTUALLY DEVELOPING FEELINGS FOR HIM/HER.
BEING SIXTEEN IS THE BEST TIME OF YOUR LIFE.
YOUR ACTIONS ARE POINTLESS IF NO ONE NOTICES.
YOU SHOULD ONLY BOTHER DOING THE RIGHT THING IF IT GETS YOU SOMEWHERE.
NO ONE PAYS ATTENTION TO THE LAW ANYMORE.
YOU MUST KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING WITH YOUR LIFE.
YOU SHOULD WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE FINANCIALLY STABLE TO TRY TO FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS.
YOU CAN’T TRUST ANYONE BUT YOURSELF.
PEOPLE GET CERTAIN SINKING FEELINGS WHEN BAD THIGNS HAPPEN TO PEOPLE THEY LOVE.
EXPENSIVE THINGS MUST BE MORE VALUABLE.
THERE ARE TOO FEW IMMUTABLE TRUTHS THESE DAYS.
THE ONLY WAY TO STICK TO WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN IS BY RELYING ON YOURSELF ALONE.
THE FANTASTIC TRUMPS THE MUNDANE EVERY TIME.
STRONG EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT STEMS FROM BASIC INSECURITY.
BEING EASILY DESTRACTABLE MEANS YOU HAVE ADD OR ADHD.
EVERYONE’S DOING IT.
SELF-CONTEMPT CAN DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD.
HIDING YOUR EMOTIONS IS DESPICABLE.
IT IS OFTEN THE PARENT’S FAULT THAT THEIR CHILDREN ARE THE WAY THEY ARE.
A HALF TRUTH IS BETTER THAN A LIE.
BEING SURE OF YOURSELF MEANS YOU’RE A FOOL.
ANY SURPLUS IS IMMORAL.
IT’S NOT WHO YOU ARE UNDERNEATH, BUT WHAT YOU DO THAT DEFINES YOU.
A STRONG SENSE OF DUTY IMPRISONS YOU.
“USING YOUR WORDS” IS THE BEST WAY TO SHOW SOMEONE YOUR FEELINGS.
