“Next time, ask: What’s the worst that will happen? Then push yourself a little further than you dare. Once you start to speak, people will yell at you. They will interrupt you, put you down and suggest it’s personal. And the world won’t end. And the speaking will get easier and easier. And you will find you have fallen in love with your own vision, which you may never have realized you had. And you will lose some friends and lovers, and realize you don’t miss them. And new ones will find you and cherish you. And you will still flirt and paint your nails, dress up and party, because, as I think Emma Goldman said, “If I can’t dance, I don’t want to be part of your revolution.” And at last you’ll know with surpassing certainty that only one thing is more frightening than speaking your truth. And that is not speaking.”

Its strange,
I never feel fully awake ‘til it’s dark. I’m only inspired in the moonlight. I wish i could sleep all day and be free to draw all night.
I guess i’m what they call a ‘night owl’. I kind of like that.
“everyone here knows little miss sell-out, miss your man, my man, never without. whose only charm is that she’s easy to please, wonder she’s not got all kinds of disease. if you want to be her it’s the easiest trick, destroy who you are brick by brick - but if you want more (and you know that you do), then fuck what they think and just do it for you.”
