And all I want
from life is to turn and turn and fall once again deeply in love
with love and be delusional to the point almost exactly
of incarceration. To say It is spring and stall Time long enough
to watch my lover undress and …come to bless my body with hers. When she says Oh,
yes. It is spring, John Keats, and you are dead and I am sorry.
Truth and beauty are not all I need to know. They never were.
Though important, I need something more. It hums and whirs.—Steve Scafidi, from “Who Wants to Know What Love is Worth?” in Sparks from a Nine-Pound Hammer: Poems (Louisiana State University Press, 2001)

"Love, being in love, isn’t a constant thing. It doesn’t always flow at the same strength. It’s not always like a river in flood. It’s more like the sea. It has tides, it ebbs and flows. The thing is, when love is real, whether it’s ebbing or flowing, it’s always there, it never goes away. And that’s the only proof you can have that it is real, and not just a crush or an infatuation or a passing fancy."

"Date yourself. Take yourself out to eat. Don’t share your popcorn at the movies with anyone. Stroll around an art museum alone. Fall in love with canvases. Fall in love with yourself."

anonymous asked: how do you deal with your first broken heart?
here are some of the things that i’ve done when i was feeling miserable because of a termination of closeness with a person i’d grown close to
- cry cry cry and cry cry cry and don’t be afraid of it. there’s nothing to be afraid of. in acknowledging your hurt and vulnerability you are strong
- listen to those songs and listen to these songs, they’re the songs that i listened to over and over and they go together so well. find other songs that you like, other songs to relate to, smile and cry and cry
- watch this video
- eventually there will come a time when you stop crying and stop laying in bed. take your time with this first step tho, because after you get it all out, i want you to go out, discover what it’s like to be you again
- eat alone. it’s fun to eat alone. it’s calm
- watch a movie alone
- read alone
- wander alone
- plan whole days, alone; walk around the city, eat lunch, go to a museum, go to the library, eat dinner, chuckle to yourself about dumb things that can only be funny to you at that moment, take in all the cool things and let them go. take in each experience with a minimum of phone and/or camera. let it go into your eyeballs and ears and fingertips and trust that even though you’re not holding onto it, it’s still happening to you, and will always be a part of you
- go out with friends, plan whole days with friends. or just say hi to a friend. spend minutes with them or spend weeks. have lunch with friends, go to museums with friends, laugh with friends and be OK with taking it all in, letting it go, it’s all happening, look at you go
- you’ve had your wallowing time, you’ve had your alone time, you’re putting yourself together again. look at the person that you were before, look at the person that you are now. you couldn’t be who you are without the person that left you / that you left. you couldn’t be that person without the leaving either
- stand in the middle of the museum, while you’re there alone (or with friends) — stand in the middle of the mall — stand in the middle of a school — stand on a city corner — look at all the MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. only a minute ago, you were tied to one. now you’re open to them all
- you’re open to everything
- look at all the time this has taken
- look at yourself healing
- close your eyes, think about five years from now; five years from now, open your eyes, think about five years ago — it’s time travel — can you believe you used to think you were broken
perfect advice as always from gowns. i think she’s the only person on tumblr that i follow just for her text posts.

"Intimacy is not entirely physical. In fact, it can have no physical interaction at all. For an intimate relationship to take place, allow someone into your thoughts. Let them hold and caress your feelings. Let them be intimate with your mind. Allow for the emotional intimacy to be the reason for your passion to be bred. Now that is intimacy that is long lasting."

"Women are often judged, generally by their friends (who, of course, know better—tsk tsk), when they’re in passionate/dysfunctional relationships for not knowing what is good for them; the expectation is always that you should hold out for a more conventional relationship. It’s hard to deal with the aftermath (inevitable fallouts) of these kinds of relationships, too, because you have to deal with the heavy-handed reprimands about how you should have known better, but it’s more complicated than all that. Of course, we should all be seeking the healthiest of relationships, but when you shame someone for their intimate relationships, they are more reluctant to talk about it, and in some cases less likely to get the support and help they need to overcome it.
Passionate/dysfunctional relationships are not all bad or all good; they are complicated. I am more interested in validating these experiences and pushing the vocabularies we have to talk about less-than-optimal situations without shaming and blaming."

The shame and blame culture is horrible, and I agree that the devaluing of women’s emotions (“you’re just crazy”) is fucked up. But…sometimes when you’re in a relationship, you can’t see the boundary between “passionate/dysfunctional” and emotionally abusive. And having friends there who will tell you “No, that’s not okay, that was wrong” and will call out your partner’s shit when you’re trying to convince yourself that it’s okay is crucial, even if that means that they’re “judging” you. There’s a big difference between a not perfect relationship (I don’t believe there is such a thing as a perfect one…) and an unhealthy relationship. And when your friend is in an unhealthy relationship, I think you have a responsibility to be supportive by not pretending that everything is fine.
Also, broad generalizations, but when guys are making fun of women for being “too emotional” or having “crazy” relationships, I often hear them say “I would never put up with that that shit.” Which I think is important because women are taught that they should “put up with” their partner’s shit and try to “make it work” rather than saying, “fuck it, you disrespected me, I’m not going to tolerate this.” Women are usually taught to always please people and put our partner’s before ourselves, and I think that affects these “passionate/dysfunctional” relationships.
