“Because I love you. Because when I was very young, very foolish, and very much alone—you remember?—you paid attention to me and, without seeming to, you opened for me the door to everything I love in the world.”— Albert Camus, tr. by David Hapgood, from “The First Man,” c. 1994

“There is a presence, a silence, a stillness which is here by itself. There is no doer of it, no creator of this stillness. It is simply here in you, with you. It is the fragrance of your own self. There is nothing to do about this, it is naturally present. This fragrance of peace, this spaciousness, it is the fragrance of your own being.”— Mooji (via aspiritualwarrior)

When women are not taught anything about sex–that it should be pleasurable for them, that their partners should listen to them and care about their needs, that they are allowed to say no, that they should never be coerced, guilted, or forced into having sex–women go into the sexual phase of their lives completely unprepared. It leaves them very vulnerable to being used, manipulated, and abused.

“I could feel myself slowly going insane until nothing mattered anymore and caring was too difficult and feeling was too much and the smallest whisper would feel like an echo into the abyss and I was falling falling falling. And it wasn’t even sadness after a while. It was just overwhelming. It wasn’t even a tangible emotion. It was just nothing and the desperate desire to stop feeling it.”— Sue Zhao (via blossomfully)
