Mahmoud Darwish - “Memory for Forgetfulness”
A constellation of swimmers passes overhead off Hawaii's Kona coast during the 1999 Ironman Triathlon. Contestants swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, then run 26.2 miles. Winning time: 8 hours, 17 minutes, 17 seconds- down more than 3 hours since 1978. National Geographic (2000)

Text ID: I observe how much I have matured since last year despite my belief that I was losing myself, how something strong was born from the painful experiences survived and from the numerous minutes that I believed were wasted.
Spiritually I am curled up on a porch swing as a soft breeze caresses my cheek
i'm kinda mad that i'm like right at the cut off point in terms of intelligence like...if i was just a tiny bit stupider i would actually be able to enjoy life but unfortunately my brain is big enough to have complex thoughts and question things
#hope
it's such a fall/winter show to me idk it's so cozy and magical
I am honestly so supportive of young women and girls who don’t want to present themselves as sexual, whether they’re asexual, sex-repulsed, politically celibate, women who don’t want to feel or be sexy, or women who just don’t want to discuss it. I’m supportive whether this is something temporary or permanent, whatever the reason for it. If sex isn’t liberating for you, that’s great. There’s nothing wrong with that and I’m sorry you’re being sold the lie that you’re repressed and/or unfeminist.
