estranged_emma 04-08-2007, 06:00 AM :D You ready for this, I have so many!
it's not about getting close to someone, cause you're not. it's easy to think you're getting close to someone because you're having sex with them. but see, that's the illusion, because if you really got close to everyone that you fucked, well... you wouldn't be this lonely, would you?
there's something really basic and biological, i think, about letting someone into your body. you know, there's a certain loss of control that comes with that. sometimes you don't want to be in control. sometimes you just want to lose control.
yeah, i can separate sex and love but i still want the love, you know, cause it's the love that makes you vulnerable. it's the love that makes you hurt and it's the hurt that makes you know that you're still alive.
there's always a door you do not want to open, or a place you don't wanna go, or a question you don't wanna answer, or one word... that you just don't wanna hear because if you do you know you'll never be the same.
1Heart1Way 04-08-2007, 06:27 AM My all tme favorite book is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, and here are some of my favorite quotations from this book:
There is one great truth on this planet: whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe.
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.
This one is from Erica Jong:
"Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. . . . It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk everything, you risk even more."
And finally, from Lao Tzu:
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; loving someone deeply gives you courage.

SnakeCharmer 04-10-2007, 04:35 PM Fix your Eyes not on what is Seen, but on what is Unseen, for what is seen is temporary, but what is Unseen is eternal(corinthians 4:18)
1Heart1Way 04-10-2007, 05:57 PM Whenever a taboo is broken, something good happens, something vitalizing.... Taboos after all are only hangovers, the product of diseased minds, you might say, of fearsome people who hadn't the courage to live and who under the guise of morality and religion have imposed these things upon us.
