Every conversation I have ever had since I got to college.

Me: What's up?
Classmate: Nothin. Tired.
Me: Same.

“I don’t have any sense other than that writing is extremely difficult for me. People are always asking, “Did it take you so long because writing a novel is really hard?” I’m like, dude, it took me seven years to write one story, one twenty page story. Really? I didn’t realize that one was harder than the other, they all seem impossible to me. They both have me through the intestines on their horns, so it’s that kind of weird thing like getting gut-shot by a pistol or a rifle. And the process, someone’s like “Tell me, which one is worse?” And I’m like [screams]! That’s the only way to answer it, I’m usually so busy screaming the fine nuances of loss.” —Junot Dìaz (via writingadvice)

“I kind of define power now by having the confidence to make your own decisions and not be swayed by other people. And be brave and fearless to know that even if you do make a wrong decision, you made it for a good reason.” —Adele (via iloveyourglasses)

“Fact is, if we’ve been doing our jobs right as boyfriends, fiancés, husbands, and sons, February 14th shouldn’t hold sway as such a spotlight moment, this steroidal, adrenalized love hijacking dressed in red ribbon and made sick on bad candies and cheap wine.” —

Women’s Health “Guy Next Door” Matt Bean on Valentine’s Day (via womenshealthmag)

“I think the greatest thing I can advocate is knowing that you have nothing to be ashamed of. That this is not all there is for you. That you can come forward, you can seek help. You can move beyond the experience and the trauma and get help and have a full recovered life. It is possible. I’ve seen it. I know that it takes a lot of work. But, it is absolutely worth it and that they are not alone. There are so many people that go through this, that have sought the recovery that they require. That it doesn’t have to stop your life. That it doesn’t mean you can’t have intimacy or love that those things are all available to you and you deserve them. And, that the attacker doesn’t have control over you. You are a survivor. You’re not a victim. And that to me is one of the greatest delineations I learned in this process. That it is not about a victim or victimization. It is about a survivor of something that is to be loved and supported through this time.

It’s never too late to come forward. It’s never too late to seek healing and to seek support. And that’s why RAINN is so important and that’s why organizations like the Rape foundation are so important. And the thing that is so great about RAINN is that it’s 24/7. So if someone needs to call or get help or do the online hotline it’s always accessible. And I think it’s really important for people to keep that in mind. That’s there’s always somewhere to turn, because there’s a lot of dark moments that a person goes through. There’s no way around that. I’m not looking through rose colored glasses at the trauma. But I am very much an advocate of the help that is available at all times. That to me is the most important thing. You can have a full recovered life. I’ve seen it and I know it’s possible. And I know it’s possible for anyone – no one’s excluded, no matter how awful the experience.” —KaDee Strickland (via thesunlessnight)
