“The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself.”
— Maya Angelou

Helsingborg apartment.
A modern city attic and a rustic, nature-loving feeling have been brought together perfectly, I think. This apartment is on the same neighborhood I used to live in when I lived in Sweden, it makes me so nostalgic!
Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it’s all a male fantasy: that you’re strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren’t catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you’re unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.
Margaret Atwood, The Robber Bride (via wethinkwedream)
When you learn about yourself, watch yourself, watch the way you walk, how you eat, what you say, the gossip, the hate, the jealousy – if you are aware of all of that in yourself, without any choice, that is part of meditation.
Krishnamurti (via wethinkwedream)
One of the poems in the new version of Become. I added 8 pieces that I haven’t published until now. I was on a real self love & empowerment kick after my first heartbreak when I was 20. I’m glad this book came out of it.
