It’s a little hard to believe that I could have more, when I don’t even believe in deserving what I have now.
you’ll always wonder what if?
this is how it begins
and when it actually happens
you think, what if not?

Abuse begets abuse
There is no correction,
Only reproduction.
Why is my hair conditioner not working?
Why is my body not fighting this flu?
Why doesn’t anyone mean what they say anymore?

emmanuel: how's reunion dinner?
me: I am THIS CLOSE to killing the children in my house. I know it's tradition and I'm being horrible, but I really hate this shit.
emmanuel: DO IT. With a smile.
me: kill the kids?
emmanuel: With a smile :)

tous les jours
dom: good, you're sleeping.
me: mhmm. I know you're tired and will sleep soon. So, goodnight.
dom: haha, that means you're still asleep and you don't want to talk to me
I will purge you
surely and ceaselessly,
silently, without remorse
until the tang of bile
reaches this tongue,
and just like that,
you become nothing
but a cramp,
a sigh, leaning against the wall
shaking knees, cold sweat,
hardly remembered by the morning.
When I wait, you can be sure that I am not myself, sitting in a life that has already expired. When I write you, you can be sure that my message will be ugly and naked. Know that, appearances can bewitch and deceive; and we have spent far too long doing just that. Believe me, when I use words like ‘need’, ‘truth’ and ‘you’ I mean them on bended knees.
Le retour des leçons de morale
me: chacun voit avec ses lunettes
dom: beaucoup sont aveugles
me: l'habit ne fait pas le moine
dom: les personnes nues n'ont pas ce probleme
me: non...pas vrai. Ils ont une armure sur leurs âmes
dom: I knew you would say that

I don’t really know what to say anymore.

Exactly my point. On why English is actually the hardest language of all.

Found this on Vogue Forums and it was too good not to post on Tumblr.
If you can pronounce correctly every word in this poem, you will be speaking English better than 90% of the native English speakers in the world.

how to fall in love, by susan elbe
weissewiese:
Start by leaving home. It’s not where the heart is, but where the hard edge is. When ice begins to ebb from shoreline, freeing mangy marsh grass, leave.
And as you pick up speed, let your life arc out away from you.
Realize that you don’t know where you’re going and that the weather changes often. Steer between the stars like songbirds coming back at night. Listen to the whirring of...
“Whether or not we meet other people in the future, I would still like to share with you. That is certain.”

On being stretched,
I have one foot firmly rooted underground,
the other treading undersea,
conquering two kingdoms.

Was reading Euthyphro last night, but ended up watching Clash of Titans on HBO. I then spent the subsequent hour reading up on Greek mythology instead of Greek philosophy.
Crashed at 23:00 last night, the first in…forever.
Emmanuel and I are going to be so lost in Engineering. I can already feel it, and I’ve not even left the house yet.

Tu sais j’ai peur, peur de tomber amoureuse de toi. Peur d’être totalement dépendante de toi, je sais que j’en suis capable. Mais je veux pas de ça, je veux pas de ce sentiment, je veux pas passer mes journées à pensée à toi, attendre que tu te connecte pour enfin te parler, regarder mon portable et prier de toute mes forces pour recevoir un message de toi, je veux pas être jalouse de ces...

I’m all set for the 18th and I’ve totally outdone myself this time!
Started reading Entre Dieu Et Moi, C’est Fini
I can’t wait to start on my Philosophy modules, and I will probably take this back the moment school resumes.
Will book my flights the moment Osiur replies

Every day that we talk feels like a small miracle. There have been moments where I have felt so close to you. There are days where, the distance folds and there is such hope in me. Even so, there have also been times where, I have just wanted to look at you without saying a word. I tell myself to possess the moment, because love that is given, can easily be taken away (and I know this to be...
