'Aerea Targaryen' By Audrey Benjaminsen.

“Some of you say, “Joy is greater than sorrow,” and others say, “Nay, sorrow is the greater.”

But I say unto you, they are inseparable.

Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.”

― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

Always Deflect, Never Reflect

Imagine being so deep in denial about your own blunders

That every misstep you take feels like an attack against you,

Rather than a consequence of your own actions.

Every time you do wrong, it’s never your fault;

It’s the fault of those who noticed, those who reacted,

Those who dared to hold you accountable, albeit in a subtle way.

It's the fault of the press for criticizing,

Not the official for his serial corruption

You turn every consequence into a conspiracy,

Every criticism into cruelty,

Never once admitting that the damage began with you.

But reactions are human instinct—

And accountability could be, too, if only you’d accept it.

Every action comes with a reaction—whether you like it or not.

What you get is what you see.

“I know that feeling. You have to do something. You have to change something radically, because you can’t stay like you are for another second, or you’re going to explode.”

— Jennifer Echols, Forget You

I was disaster. I was sorrow. I was war. I was death... And If you are broken inside, I'm totally dead, too close, too much.

I am sick of high me creating awkward situations for sober me to deal with.

Figure.

First time I met the word "Figure" was about David of Michael Angelo and till now I imagine the statue once I meet this word. It's good feeling to have a memory connecting a word and an artistic masterpiece.
