“

If a human being can cure smallpox
Or kick up clouds of moon dust
Or build a road or write an ode
Or compose The Moldau
Or come out of the closet (of which we have too many)
Or paint The Starry Night
Or invent the wheel
Or let their wrists heal
Or look as beautiful as you in a ball gown

Then I can do anything

And it starts this second

” —Benedict Smith / “This Second” (via benedictsmith)

don’t think my mother understands that all I want to do is music, for the rest of my life

all she ever thinks is that it’s ‘unrealistic’ and I need a ‘real job’, and then she gets mad at me when I get upset over this… sigh

“We were discussing homosexuality because of an allusion to it in the book we were reading, and several boys made comments such as, “That’s disgusting.” We got into the debate and eventually a boy admitted that he was terrified/disgusted when he was once sharing a taxi and the other male passenger made a pass at him. The lightbulb went off. “Oh,” I said. “I get it. See, you are afraid, because for the first time in your life you have found yourself a victim of unwanted sexual advances by someone who has the physical ability to use force against you.” The boy nodded and shuddered visibly.“But,” I continued. “As a woman, you learn to live with that from the time you are fourteen, and it never stops. We live with that fear every day of our lives. Every man walking through the parking garage the same time you are is either just a harmless stranger or a potential rapist. Every time.” The girls in the room nodded, agreeing. The boys seemed genuinely shocked. “So think about that the next time you hit on a girl. Maybe, like you in the taxi, she doesn’t actually want you to.”” —

“do you ever think about all the people who you might have fallen in love with if only you’d taken a different way home or stood a little longer in the bread aisle at the supermarket? all the people who might have been an integral part of your life but instead you’ll never know them. the unimaginable impact that our mundane choices have on our lives really gets to me. think of how many times i might have died if i’d made different choices. maybe i’d be homeless. maybe i’d be famous. maybe i’d be rich. sometimes i’m so overwhelmed by the impact of my choices that i can’t choose anything at all because i’m afraid today will be the day that i make the choice that changes everything.” —(via piratemalik)
