A personal blog belonging to a 22 year old female along the Atlantic Ocean.
Just a mix of things I find meaningful as well as abstract bits of my own thoughts and writing. Wander along for posts related to literature, writing, poetry, (esp. haiku), philosophy, photos, art, painting (esp. acrylic & oil), alternative music, astronomy, earth history, traveling, nature...

"Love is blind, they say; sex is impervious to reason and mocks the power of all philosophers. But, in fact, a person’s sexual choice is the result and sum of their fundamental convictions. Tell me what a person finds sexually attractive and I will tell you their entire philosophy of life. Show me the person they sleep with and I will tell you their valuation of themselves. No matter what corruption they’re taught about the virtue of selflessness, sex is the most profoundly selfish of all acts, an act which they cannot perform for any motive but their own enjoyment - just try to think of performing it in a spirit of selfless charity! - an act which is not possible in self-abasement, only in self-exultation, only on the confidence of being desired and being worthy of desire. It is an act that forces them to stand naked in spirit, as well as in body, and accept their real ego as their standard of value. They will always be attracted to the person who reflects their deepest vision of themselves, the person whose surrender permits them to experience - or to fake - a sense of self-esteem .. Love is our response to our highest values - and can be nothing else."

Bat for Lashes: “The Wizard”
“Doing the mess around, Push me down into the ground, Taste the hands that drink my body, Fight me in the dark, Wrestle your bones over mine, Into our moonless march come the wizard, Come, the wizard comes”

4:22 am - Is it late night or early morning?
“My dreams are a cruel joke. They taunt me. Even in my dreams I’m an idiot, who knows he’s about to wake up to reality. If I could only avoid sleep. But I can’t. I try to tell myself what to dream. I try to dream that I am flying. Something free. It never works..”
