Breathe, 2017

I don't want to just survive, 

I want to truly live.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Man muss noch Chaos in sich haben, um einen tanzenden Stern gebären zu können.

Pablo Picasso

Learn the rules like a pro, 

so you can break them like an artist.

"Falling into Love" by Alan Watts

Well, now really when we go back into falling in love. 

And say, it's crazy. Falling. 

You see? 

We don't say "rising into love". 

There is in it, the idea of the fall. 

And it goes back, as a matter of fact, to extremely fundamental things. 

That there is always a curious tie at some point between the fall and the creation. 

Taking this ghastly risk, is the condition of there being life. 

You see, for all life is an act of faith and an act of gamble. 

The moment you take a step, you do so on an act of faith 

 because you don't really know that the floor's not going to give under your feet. 

The moment you take a journey, what an act of faith. 

The moment that you enter into any kind of human undertaking in relationship, 

 what an act of faith. 

See? You've given yourself up. 

But this is the most powerful thing that can be done: surrender. 

See? And love is an act of surrender to another person. 

Total abandonment. 

I give myself to you. Take me. Do anything you like with me. 

See? So, that's quite mad because you see, it's letting things get out of control. 

All sensible people keep things in control. 

Watch it, watch it, watch it. Security? Vigilance? Watch it. Police? Watch it. 

 Guards? Watch it. Who's going to watch the guards? 

So, actually, therefore, the course of wisdom, what is really sensible, 

 is to let go, is to commit oneself, to give oneself up and that's quite mad. 

So we come to the strange conclusion that in madness lies sanity.

Wegen der sinnlosen nachklingenden Verbundenheit habe ich nicht den Mut es selbst zu tun.

Just because you're young, don't abuse your body.

The Guardians, 2017

Flehe, solange du noch kannst,
denn während du flehst,
fällst du tiefer und tiefer.

Bianca Sparacino

Be alone. 

Eat alone, take yourself on dates, sleep alone. 

In the midst of this you will learn about yourself. 

You will grow, you will figure out what inspires you,

you will curate your own dreams, your own beliefs, your own stunning clarity, 

and when you do meet the person who makes your cells dance, 

you will be sure of it, 

because you are sure of yourself.

Nikita Gill

"Bitch."
The seemingly violent word eclipses
my nonviolent walk home
because I dared to ignore you.

I used to wither, you know.
Used to be crushed under the weight
when they spoke words like that
specifically to dehumanize me.

No more. I refuse to be darkened
by the words of shallow spirited men
birthed from the very wombs
they do not respect.

You called me a bitch
so now, I will wear it as coronet
reclaim every insult you throw
and you ain't seen nothing yet.

You've just made me angry
prompted the animal hiding
inside my rib cage, so take
these words as a fair warning;

Never again trivialise
the power of my sisters and I
because you only do it out of fear
of women stronger than you.

And you know what bitches do
when they smell fear, don't you?

We howl.
And then we hunt.

"The Single Woman" by Mandy Hale

When you are your own best friend,
you don't endlessly seek out relationships,
friendships and validation
from the wrong sources
because you realize
that the only approval
and validation
you need
is
your
own.

Im Leben ist der Bastard, den wir "Timing" nennen, immer so ein Scheißkerl.
