I
want a love like
me thinking of you thinking of me thinking of you type love
or me telling my friends more than I’ve ever admitted to myself about how I feel about you type love or hating how jealous you are but loving how much you want me all to yourself type love or seeing how your first name just sounds so good next to my last name. and shit- I wanted to see how far I could get without calling you and I barely made it out of my garage. See, I want a love that makes me wait until she falls asleep then wonder if she’s dreaming about us being in love type love or who loves the other more or what she’s doing at this exact moment or slow dancing in the middle of our apartment to the music of our hearts. Closing my eyes and imagining how a love so good could just hurt so much when she’s not there and shit I love not knowing where this love is headed type love. -Saul Williams

The soul is a newly skinned hide, bloody and gross. Work on it with manual discipline, and the bitter tanning acid of grief, and you’ll become lovely, and very strong.
If you can’t do this work yourself, don’t worry. You don’t even have to make a decision, one way or another. The Friend, who knowsa lot more than you do, will bring difficulties,and grief, and sickness,
as medicine, as happiness, as the essence of the moment when you’re beaten, when you hear Checkmate, and can finally say,with Hallaj’s voice,
I trust you to kill me. ~Rumi

iving is the art of dying -
and dying is when you give up trying to be or not to be and instead become like a bluebird on a summer day. Where you’re not singing the song, but the song is singing you. Where everything you held true is false, and everything you held false is true.
