Relationships

“Relationships are never about power, 

and one way to avoid the will to power 

is to choose to limit oneself - to serve.”

You Will Have

“You will have five hundred million little bells,

“In love, women are professionals, men are amateurs”

She Was Still Under The Spell

“She was still under the spell of her infatuation.

She had tried to forget him, 

realizing the inutility of remembering. 

But the thought of him was like an obsession, 

ever pressing itself upon her. 

It was not that she dwelt upon details of their acquaintance,

 or recalled in any special or peculiar way his personality; 

it was his being, his existence, which dominated her thought, 

fading sometimes as if it would melt into the mist of the forgotten, 

reviving again with an intensity which filled her 

with an incomprehensible longing.”

~ Kate Chopin, The Awakening

There's Never A Reason

“There's never a reason to trust someone.

If there's a reason, then it's not trust.”

~ Gerald Morris, The Quest of the Fair Unknown

Asking For Help

“Asking for help with shame says:

You have the power over me.

Asking with condescension says:

I have the power over you.

But asking for help with gratitude says:

We have the power to help each other.”

~ Amanda Palmer, 

The Art of Asking; 

or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Let People Help

To Be Human

“To be human is to be broken 

and broken is its own kind of beautiful.”

I Had To Learn

and I couldn't make sense of it, 

because I left so much of me inside of you.”

Never Knew

“Never knew what a friendship was, 

Never knew how to really love, 

You can't be what I need you to, 

& I don't know why I fuck with you.”

~ Erykah Badu

It's Funny

and that alone was enough, 

enough for her to do everything she ever dreamed of.”

Suddenly

but a reflection of herself.”
