Camus: If someone here told me to write a book on morality, it would have a hundred pages and ninety-nine would be blank. On the last page I should write: “I recognize only one duty, and that is to love.” And, as far as everything else is concerned, I say no.
Alejandra Pizarnik, tr. by Yvette Siegert, from “Psychopathology Ward”, Extracting the Stone of Madness: Poems 1962 - 1972

Good morning, you have to be the thing that saves you
Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.
If this pops up while you’re scrolling, I wish you unconditional love and massive success.

learning that people want you in their lives is a skill you can develop if it does not come naturally
you can hate yourself all you want but the world is beautiful and it welcomes you
"my darling, you will never be unloved by me you are too well tangled in my soul"
— Atticus
