“The same teen who can't legally operate a four-wheeler, or [ATV]...in a farm lane workplace environment can operate a jacked-up F-250 pickup on a crowded urban expressway. By denying these [farm work] opportunities to bring value to their own lives and the community around them, we've relegated our young adults to teenage foolishness. Then as a culture we walk around shaking our heads in bewilderment at these young people with retarded maturity. Never in life do people have as much energy as in their teens, and to criminalize leveraging it is certainly one of our nation's greatest resource blunders.”

“Why can’t you just be yourself?” Stella asked once.

That was what had captured her in the charm shop, all those years ago. Then adulthood came, your choices solidifying, and you realize that everything you are had been set in motion years before. The rest was aftermath. So she understood why her daughter was searching for a self, and she even blamed herself for it.”
― Brit Bennett, The Vanishing Half

Described by his wife as a WALKING QUR’AN.
Follow his SUNNAH as best as you can...”

He knows your DEEPEST thoughts; he feels your pain.
Any problems, RAISE your hands to Allah and complain,

A guiding LIGHT, shining brightly...”

“Casper nie lubi, kiedy podczas terapii grupowej używamy słów:" ciąć się, przypalać, dźgać ". Tłumaczy, że nieważne, co ktoś robi czy jak to robi. Możesz chlać, ciąć się, brać metę, wciągać kokę, przypalać się, dźgać, chlastać, wyrywać rzęsy, rżnąć się, aż do krwi, ale zawsze chodzi o to samo: samookaleczenie. Tłumaczy, że kiedy ktoś Cię zranił czy sprawił, że czujesz się zła, bezwartościowa, brudna, zamiast racjonalnie dojść do wniosku, że ten ktoś jest palantem czy psycholem i należałoby go zastrzelić bądź powiesić, trzymać się od niego z daleka, to internalizujesz krzywdę, zaczynasz obwiniać siebie i wymierzać sobie karę.”
― Kathleen Glasgow, Girl in Pieces

― Callum Bloodworth, Berätta tre saker

“Cian: Where the fuck?

Gabriel: Family centre, somewhere around the top floor if the view is anything to go by.
Gabriel: The why is less obvious.

Elijah: Seriously? It’s clearly a photoshoot. Her father is an Icon with a penchant for aggressive media campaigns. He will see her partly bonded status as an opportunity.

Gabriel: I said it was less obvious, not that it wasn’t still obvious.

Moses: Stop comparing brain size.

Kilian: Yeah, stop waving your big… brains around.”
― Jane Washington, Tourner

“My mother thinks I’ve dyed my hair red
for attention—
How can I explain to her the ways that she is
right
and
wrong.
As of last night,
my hair is the color of a brick
the moment before it goes through
a stained-glass
window.
My hair is the color of a fire engine
driving through a burning building.
My hair is the color of a dart frog:
generations of death adapting
into this exact shade of poison.
It’s called aposematism—
we learned about it in bio.
It’s when an animal advertises
to predators that it is not worth
the attempt to consume.
Bright red and orange,
the colors of pain,
I WILL MAKE YOU SICK
I WILL KILL YOU FROM INSIDE YOUR THROAT
ATTENTION!
I MAY LOOK LIKE PREY
BUT I WILL END
YOUR
LIFE
My mother says I want attention
and maybe she’s right
My mother says I am just making a statement
and maybe she’s right
But in my mind it’s not saying
please—
it’s saying
don’t
and this is how I know men
are not really wolves
because maybe
a wolf
would listen.”
― Olivia A. Cole, Dear Medusa
