sayona recommended Solche Momente. from abgeschirmt.com:

Ich weiß immer noch nicht, wo es hingeht, aber die Panik ist weg. Naja, fast weg. Bald bestimmt weg. Und wenn das jetzt hier mein Lebensweg sein soll, dann ist mir das auch egal, dann sind mir die Umwege endlich egal. Und die Pausen und die Unebenheiten auch.

sayona recommended Be Kind from blog.capwatkins.com:

“I don't have time to respond to this,” which I immediately follow up with, “But that was me a few years ago.” And I respond. Because you never know who you're responding to or what difference even the smallest gesture will make in someone's life. Being kind isn't always easy. Or convenient. But it has the potential to change everything.

Wir suchen Grenzenlosigkeit um die eigenen Grenzen zu finden, und wenn wir da sind, beginnen wir von vorne. Wir schauen in Augen und suchen uns selbst. Wir schreiben und reden viel, weil wir befürchten, dass uns die Worte fehlen. Und am Ende ist das alles gar nicht so kompliziert. Wir haben uns nur selber die Augen verbunden, den Mund verboten und die Hände in den Taschen gelassen.

In all unseren Beziehungen sind Liebesbeziehungen vielleicht die leichtesten. Denn sie beginnen stets neu und ohne Geschichte. Sie besitzen die Körperlichkeit und Zärtlichkeit als Kitt. Sie kommen und gehen. Die Abschiede sind oft brutal, wir wollen vergessen und erinnern und schließlich kaum noch an jemanden, mit dem wir einmal das Bett geteilt haben.

Questions are places in your mind where answers fit. If you haven’t asked the question, the answer has nowhere to go. It hits your mind and bounces right off. You have to ask the question – you have to want to know – in order to open up the space for the answer to fit.

sayona recommended Offen from seite2.wordpress.com:

Nicht das ich Ironie jetzt grundsätzlich schlimm finde. Aber ich ziehe Menschen vor, bei denen ich es nicht durchgehend sein kann. Weil ich mich zurücknehmen muss, damit sie mich verstehen und dadurch selbst offener werde. Alleine kenne ich keine Zurückhaltung.

Because we never move on. We just try to find a spot from where the ruins that are our hearts still look intact. But at some point, we cannot pretend any more that we’re not in ruins. We just are, we look broken from every angle. We may fool ourselves into believing we can love again like we did the first time, or the second, or the third. But we cannot.

The answers themselves aren't important to the experiment, the point was that the test subjects answered these questions twice - first while cold and just imagining they were aroused and then again a few weeks later, while watching pornography and masturbating. To clarify: they answered the exact same questions twice. The results are scary: not only are we more likely to behave irrationally when we are aroused, we are unaware of how differently we are going to act when things get real. It turns out that our beliefs and moral guidelines only really count when we are in our rational mindset

sayona recommended Poetry Magazine from poetryfoundation.org:

I asked the poet Tony Hoagland what he thought about fear. He said fear was the ghost of an experience: we fear the recurrence of a pain we once felt, and in this way fear is like a hangover. The memory of our pain is a pain unto itself, and thus feeds our fear like a foyer with mirrors on both sides.

You are a short story. You start in the middle maybe, and you don’t have a long word count. A few pages. A short arc. A gimmick. Some terse resolution. You’re certainly not a novel.

sayona »I know this, because _he_ was a novel. A sweeping force. A sturdy hardback. A familiar feeling in my hands. Someone you sit down with in a soft sofa chair and read for a long, long time. Something you can’t put down. A page turner, with detail and editing and work.«

sayona recommended Two Universes from randsinrepose.com:

That’s how I want to learn. Don’t give me a book; I don’t want a lecture, and I don’t want a list of topics to memorize. Give me ample reason to memorize them and a sandbox where I can safely play. Test me when I least expect it, shock me with the unknown, but make sure you’ve given me enough understanding and practice with my tools that I have a high chance of handling the unexpected.
