“I don’t believe in optimism. I believe in optimal behavior. That’s a different thing. If you behave every day of your life to the top of your genetics, what can you do? Test it. Find out. You don’t know—you haven’t done it yet. You must live life at the top of your voice!”
RIP Ray Bradbury

I may be cynical when I say that very rarely is the beloved more than a shaping spirit for the lover’s dreams. And perhaps such a thing is enough. To be a muse may be enough. The pain is when the dreams change, as they do, as they must. Suddenly the enchanted city fades and you are left alone again in the windy desert. As for your beloved, she didn’t understand you. The truth is, you never understood yourself.
– Jeannette Winterson, Sexing the Cherry -
Trust your intuition
She heard her inner voice scream “he’s not worth it!”. But illusioned by love, she like all other women, believed. She believed and was made a fool of. She should have let it all go before it was too late.

The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.

Decaying flower was shot by Billy Kidd.
Like a decaying flower she lays, motionless and hopeless. “Is this not what u expected?” She asked herself. The pain and the emptiness creeps in and she waits for it to be over so she can put her head up high and walk again. Will that day ever come?

Suffering is a chance you take by the fact of being alive.
– William S. Burroughs, Letters to Allen Ginsberg: 1953-1957Aren’t we suckers for pain then?

Suddenly I realize

That if I stepped out of my body I would break
Into blossom. -
The way people behave, the paradoxes, the contradictions, all these things we have to live with and still pretend that everything is only black or white. That, I think, is the most interesting thing in human nature. The fact that we have to do one thing and pretend something else. That’s when it becomes very interesting. If you can literally speak the way you feel, then it’s not interesting anymore. It’s when you have to lie that it becomes interesting.
