These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was defenseless, and parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends.
Freedom lies at the heart of my willingness to lose everything
I think the Bible is hugely patriarchal. There are so many sexist comments and homophobic comments and comments that are not in keeping with nurturing and loving the human spirit.
That I would be loved even when I numb myself. That I would be good even when I am overwhelmed. That I would be loved even when I was fuming. That I would be good even if I was clingy.
What I wouldn't give to find a soul mate, someone else to catch this drift.
I think everyone's hungry for the truth
In my life, anyway, anytime that I judge something to be rigidly right or wrong, it comes from fear.
Being a sensitive empath is a beautiful thing as an artist, and it fosters a deep burning curiosity about why we do the things we do.
The more I know the less tortured I am.
My yearn for home is broadened Patriotism expanded By callings from beyond So I pack my things Nothing precious All things sacred
You live, you learn, you love, you learn, you cry, you learn, you lose, you learn, you bleed, you learn, you scream, you learn
I listen to my records and I think, 'Wow, these are really great appetizers. I haven't even considered what I'm going to order for the full entree meal yet.'
I'm a leave-the-bathroom-door-open nudist, which is sometimes disconcerting for my friends.
When I was 11 years old and I was on a road trip with my family. I turned to my dad and said, "Do you believe in Adam and Eve?" And he said he didn't think so. I remember that felt like a slap in the face, because if my parents questioned Adam and Eve, then they potentially questioned everything within Catholicism. Eventually that idea led to my feeling liberated, but at that time it was very scary.
