“A clear conscience is the sure sign of a bad memory.”

“all the girls you’ve ever loved, i think i loved them too.
interlude for the grand sonata
every mouth you’ve ever kissed
was just practice
all the bodies you’ve ever undressed
and ploughed into
were preparing you for me.
i don’t mind tasting them in the
memory of your mouth
they were a long hallway
a door half-open
a single suitcase still on the conveyor belt
was it a long journey?
did it take you long to find me?
you’re here now,
welcome home.”
― Warsan Shire

“In one aspect, yes, I believe in ghosts, but we create them. We haunt ourselves.”
― Laurie Halse Anderson, Wintergirls

“The real test of love is when a person—including you—can know your weaknesses, your stupidities and your smallnesses, and still love you.”
― Dossie Easton, The Ethical Slut: A Guide to Infinite Sexual Possibilities
