“Those who make conversations impossible, make escalation inevitable.”
― Stefan Molyneux

“The idea that you have to be protected from any kind of uncomfortable emotion is what I absolutely do not subscribe to.”
― John Cleese

“I think repressing what happened is what saved me in my childhood. I was able to use my imagination to create happy events, but a little girl can carry only so much on her own.”

“Avoiding triggers is a symptom of PTSD, not a treatment for it.”

“I still kept so much from her at that time, but she made me feel like, someday, I wouldn't anymore - she made me feel so many somedays.”
― Ashley Herring Blake, Girl Made of Stars

“I am sorry.

I'm sorry that I feel as if you don't trust me enough to confide me.
This is me being selfish even though this isn't about me, it's about you.
I'm sorry that it makes me upset that in those times you thought about ending your life, I feel like I didn't cross your mind.
I hate myself for thinking you didn't care enough to talk to me about those toxic thoughts that's trying to push you to end everything, because I know myself that's it is hard to share.
I hate myself for thinking you didn't care enough to think about how horrible it is going to be for me once I learn what you've done.

I'm sorry for feeling like this, it is selfish, I am selfish.
I'm sorry for feeling like I'm not a good friend, I know that's now how you think, I'm sorry.

I just love you and I'm hurt.”
― Mari

“Era como se o que eu quisesse matar não estivesse naquela pele ou no leve pulsar azul sob o meu dedão, mas em outro lugar mais profundo e secreto, bem mais difícil de alcançar.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

“What were you wearing? Why did you go to his empty house alone? Did you drink any alcohol or take any drugs before going to Samael's house? Do you have a boyfriend?
If so, are you serious with him? Are you sexually active?
What did you eat that day? Who cooked for you? Who dropped you off at Samael's house?
I was mentally prodded, poked and attacked with quickfire questions that made no sense to me. My mind couldn't begin to fathom why they needed to know those things about me. I was astounded by how different it was this time.
The worst question they asked me was: are you sure you didn't imagine it considering your past?
Like it was my fault. Like I had imagined the sexual assault I had undergone. Like I had just assumed that he was that kind of guy because of what the monster did to me. I was on the verge of throwing up throughout the entire trial. My mum and dad both sat silently watching, looking like they were ready to burst.
This was serious they kept on telling me. Sam was over eighteen. I could be ruining his life right now if I was wrong.”

“For now you know, revenge is unpleasant and what stems from it, is too.”
― Patricia Lopez, The Many Aspects of a Dark Past

“Cutting pain was a different flavor of hurt.”
― Laurie Halse Anderson, Wintergirls

“We are not built to be weapons, Kasara. But to build and renew, to lead with empathy and compassion, that is a woman’s job. Think of the other leaders, think of how their factions run on hate and greed. That is why I am here, that is why I took up the VO, because women are supposed to change the world. My father didn’t have only daughters as punishment from some distant god. No, he had daughters because some distant god knew what we could do.”
― Saralyn Everhart, Wishing for Corruption

“Seas was the one who'd urged her to tattoo the scars she'd cut with the razor blade. the serpent- sign of transformation and healing. The quote, from Rita Dove's poem "Dawn
Revisited." About second chances.
The whole sky is yours
to write on, blown open”
― Meg Gardiner, UNSUB

“he put a veil over his wrongdoings
that’s what he did

it was tenderness and lust
that’s what it was
that’s what it looked like
it should have been
It should have been...

but

somewhere between the candied kisses and
frigid disputes,
came dead air
and their love turned fictitious;
misrepresented by Facebook posts
and “cheerful� photographs

his palms became like ice,
his words like hail

and he tore off the very mask
that had fooled her

But it was too late
her body laid charred;
tattered, weary and drawn
her soul had vanquished
the light was gone”
― Alexis Bedard, The Stranger's Veil

“Our current higher education system is steeped in a philosophy that doubts our ability to even perceive the physical world. That philosophy is called postmodernism.”
― Heather E. Heying, A Hunter-Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century: Evolution and the Challenges of Modern Life

“Postmodernists have been at the leading edge of promoting the view that reality is socially constructed.”
― Heather E. Heying, A Hunter-Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century: Evolution and the Challenges of Modern Life

“One of the most outstanding conclusions of some postmodernists is that all of reality is socially constructed. They have even taken issue with the conclusions of Newton and Einstein, on the basis that the privilege of those scientists is obvious in their equations and, as old white guys, their biases inherently prevented them from knowing anything real of the world.”
― Heather E. Heying, A Hunter-Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century: Evolution and the Challenges of Modern Life

“Humor is the mechanism by which we sort out the gray area of what can and can't be said. A humorless society, community, or group of friends likely has large problemas lurking just beneath the surface.”
― Heather E. Heying, A Hunter-Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century: Evolution and the Challenges of Modern Life

“If one girl calls what happened to her a rape but her peers label what they’ve
experienced as just a bad hookup—which they then dismiss and move on—there is a disconnect. The girl who says rape is out of sync.”
― Susan Kraus, Insufficient Evidence

“So, if there was sex on a first encounter—and most of these weren’t even dates, just parties—you couldn’t convince a jury it was rape, not get to beyond a reasonable doubt.”
― Susan Kraus, Insufficient Evidence

“The aims of safety-ism were noble. They saw that young people were experiencing greater amounts of anxiety, stress, and depression than previous generations and sought to remedy their angst by protecting them from anything that could potentially harm or upset them.

But this is not how the human mind works. The human mind is not fragile—it does not need to be protected and cushioned from the hard surfaces of reality like a vase or piece of fine china. The human mind is antifragile—that is, it gains from discomfort and strain. That means to grow stronger, the human mind needs to regularly be confronted with difficult and upsetting experiences to develop stability and serenity for itself.”
― Mark Manson

“That when I find it with the perfect mate, it better be exactly like that...I don't want no basic bitch romance. I want to rip it apart and watch it grow from the ground up. I want to build it so fucking fortified that no one can ever touch it because me and my guy, we'd fight the entirety of the nine realms to keep it safe. That is what I want. And I won't find that here, and sure in the hell wont be with you. YOU LIVE WITH GHOSTS AND ARE FUELED BY THE NEED TO AVENGE THEM. I LIVE IN THE NOW.”
― Amelia Hutchins, Flames of Chaos

“â€� Então â€� começou a Sra. Elm, encarando Nora. â€� O que você está sentindo agora?
� Como se ainda quisesse morrer. Faz tempo que venho querendo morrer. Já concluí por A mais B que minha dor de viver como a porra do desastre que eu sou é maior do que a dor que qualquer pessoa sentiria se eu morresse. Tenho certeza que seria um alívio, na verdade. Não tenho utilidade para ninguém. Eu sou péssima no trabalho. Deixei todo mundo na mão. Sou um desperdício de pegada de carbono, honestamente. Eu magoo as pessoas. Não tenho mais ninguém. Nem meu pobre e velho Volts, que morreu porque não consegui cuidar de um fato direito. Eu quero morrer. Minha vida é um desastre. Eu quero que acabe. Não fui feita para viver. E não faz o menor sentido eu passar por tudo isso. Porque é óbvio que meu destino é ser infeliz em outras vidas também. Essa sou eu. Não agrego nada. Estou chafurdando em autopiedade. Eu preciso da morte.
A Sra. Elm estudou Nora com atenção, como se estivesse lendo um trecho de um livro que já havia lido antes, mas descoberto agora que contia um novo significado.
â€� Precisar â€� disse ela, num tom de voz comedido â€� é uma palavra interessante. Implica estar carente de algo. Às vezes, se suprimos essa carência com outra coisa, a sensação original de precisar de algo desaparece completamente. Talvez seu problema seja a carência de alguma coisa e não você estar precisando de algo. Talvez exista uma vida que você precise muito viver.”
― Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

“I cut because I can't deal... the world becomes an ocean... I need to hurt myself more than the world could hurt me, and then I can comfort myself.”
― Kathleen Glasgowen

“Your triggers are pathways to your wounds.
The stimulus is only a door.”
― Sanhita Baruah

“[on Jeffrey Epstein]: I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
― Donald J. Trump

“What girl would want what he did to me? But it’s the truth, whether anyone believes it or not. Driven toward it, toward him, I was the kind of girl that isn’t supposed to exist: one eager to hurl herself into the path of a pedophile”
― Kate Elizabeth Russell, My Dark Vanessa

“It’s strange to know that whenever I remember of myself at fifteen, I'll think of this”
― Kate Elizabeth Russell, My Dark Vanessa

“Is it really impossible to imagine that I might emerge from this worldly and wise, a girl with a story to tell?”
― Kate Elizabeth Russell, My Dark Vanessa

“I wonder how much victimhood they’d be willing to grant a girl like me”
― Kate Elizabeth Russell, My Dark Vanessa

“This, I think, is the cost of telling, even in the guise of fiction-once you do, it's the only thing about you anyone will ever care about. It defines you whether you want it to or not.”
― Kate Elizabeth Russell, My Dark Vanessa
