“Close, close all night
the lovers keep.
They turn together
in their sleep,

Close as two pages
in a book
that read each other
in the dark.

Each knows all
the other knows,
learned by heart
from head to toes.”
― Elizabeth Bishop, Edgar Allan Poe & The Juke-Box: Uncollected Poems, Drafts, and Fragments

“i’ll be okay
even if i don’t understand
how i don’t want to be a girl, but also don’t want to be a man”
― Courtney Carola, Have Some Pride: A Collection of LGBTQ+ Inspired Poetry

“I am awfully greedy; I want everything from life. I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish… You see, it is difficult to get all which I want. And then when I do not succeed I get mad with anger.”
― Simone de Beauvoir

“Some beautiful paths can't be discovered without getting lost.”
― Erol Ozan
