“It occurs to me as I fight so hard with myself that these cruel and persistent voices are the echoes of trauma from the times when people treated me like I am now treating myself. And that, perhaps, it is possible to close an inner door and shut out voices that are not mine. In the last light of a long day, I sit on a chair on my porch and watch the sky drain colors down and out and I realize I want to hear my voice and only mine. Not the voice of my voice within a cacophony of old pains. Just mine, now.”
— Jenny Slate, Little Weirds

when james baldwin said, “all of us know whether or not we are able to admit it that mirrors can only lie, that death by drowning is all that awaits one there. it is for this reason that love is so desperately sought and so cunningly avoided. love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. i use the word ‘love’ here not merely in the personal sense but as a state of being, or a state of grace – not in the infantile american sense of being made happy but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth.”

being a woman is just constantly hating your immediate present self and then looking back and hating your past self for not appreciating your beauty and opportunities at that time and it just goes on like. forever
