I aspire to be an elegant woman who is well read, fluent in many languages, who takes frequent trips to the ballet and opera, knowledgeable in art, dances the night away at galas and balls, who always smells exquisite and dresses magnificently. I can’t wait to be this woman.

“We teach girls shame. “Close your legs. Cover yourself.” We make them feel as though being born female they’re already guilty of something. And so, girls grow up to be women who cannot say they have desire. They grow up to be women who silence themselves. They grow up to be women who cannot say what they truly think. And they grow up — and this is the worst thing we do to girls — they grow up to be women who have turned pretense into an art form.”
— Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists
me, staring at the Moon, almost every night: I love you, I really do.
Do you ever just want to pack up and leave out of the blue without saying anything to anyone like just leave and start a new life

“The whole point of an intimacy is to serve each other in growth and love, hopefully in better ways than we can serve ourselves. Otherwise, why engage in intimacy if your growth and love are served more by living alone? Intimacy is about growing more than you could by yourself, through the art of mutual gifting.”
— David Deida, The Way of the Superior Man
Uma Thurman
“He’d never cared much for strawberries, but that summer her lips were so stained with the juices that they were all he tasted. And he’d never had a favourite fruit, but two years later, a new girl is sat in front of him, laughing at his jokes. “If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?” She asks playfully. And he remembers how her hands traced the veins in his neck and made their way across his chest. He remembers her soft breathing and limbs draped across his shoulders. “Strawberries.” He tells her. “I could live a life on nothing but strawberries.””
