“I wish that men got endometriosis. If it was painful when they ejaculated, you know they would find a cure immediately and every doctor would know what to do to make it less painful, even a foot doctor.”

“What my country
does for me is enter
me like a room, becomes the furniture,
the wall, the painting on the wall,
the white spot where painting used to sing.
Singing enters me, becomes the window.
Baby think of my skin
as the best part of the song. Take me
by the ribs and lay me at the bottom
of a dirty creek where I can
get a good view.”
― Morgan Parker

“Loneliness is an orchid by the stream
Which I wish to pluck and give to someone
Someone is far, far away.”
― Dominic Cheung (Chang Ts'o), Drifting

“I used to hide a lot of the hard parts about my life because I didn't want people to feel sorry for me or give me any pity. But then, as I got more successful, people started asking me, 'How did you do it, Tiffany? How is your life so great?' I realized if I hide the mistakes I've made, I'm going to give people the wrong idea. There's going to be some little girl out there thinking that if she messes up, that's it. Game over. No chance of having a good life.

So now when I fuck up, I Eight Mile that shit, naming my weaknesses before anyone else can... If I tell everyone where I messed up, can't nobody make me feel shame for it. If I just say my truth, there's no weapon you can hold against me, unless it's a spear or something.”
