metamorphesque:

I am just trying to sleep. / To feed. To fill / myself and grow larger from it. / Or: I am only trying to slither back into my first skin. / Or: I am only trying to remember how it felt not to leak.ALT

“All her life, she believed that carrying so many things is what made her heart always heavier. But there came a day, when she finally realized that, what really makes it heavier is, not having anything there.”

Akshay Vasu, from The Abandoned Paradise (Amazon Digital, 2018)

I’m too exhausted to explain my soul to someone again.

I have such a desire to sleep and am so much behind my sleep. A good night, one good night and all this nonsense will be swept away.

I no longer have patience for certain things, not because I’ve become arrogant, but simply because I reached a point in my life where I do not want to waste more time with what displeases me or hurts me. I have no patience for cynicism, excessive criticism and demands of any nature. I lost the will to please those who do not like me, to love those who do not love me and to smile at those who do not want to smile at me. I no longer spend a single minute on those who lie or want to manipulate. I decided not to coexist anymore with pretense, hypocrisy, dishonesty and cheap praise. I do not tolerate selective erudition nor academic arrogance. I do not adjust either to popular gossiping. I hate conflict and comparisons. I believe in a world of opposites and that’s why I avoid people with rigid and inflexible personalities. In friendship I dislike the lack of loyalty and betrayal. I do not get along with those who do not know how to give a compliment or a word of encouragement. Exaggerations bore me and I have difficulty accepting those who do not like animals. And on top of everything I have no patience for anyone who does not deserve my patience.

Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions destroyed.

I’m lost. And it’s my own fault. It’s about time I figured out that I can’t ask people to keep me found.
