"Being born a woman is an awful tragedy… Yes, my consuming desire to mingle with road crews, sailors and soldiers, bar room regulars - to be a part of a scene, anonymous, listening, recording - all is spoiled by the fact that I am a girl, a female always in danger of assault and battery. My consuming interest in men and their lives is often misconstrued as a desire to seduce them, or as an invitation to intimacy. Yet, God, I want to talk to everybody I can as deeply as I can. I want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night…" - Sylvia Plath

Rituals bring meaning to our lives by "charging" an intention with power.

A defense mechanism is a mental process or reaction that shields a person from undesirable or unacceptable thoughts, feelings or conclusions that, if accepted, would create anxiety or damage ones self esteem
Facing reality requires courage and taking risks because giving up one's defences means sacraficing safety
The world is a mirror of myself dying
People fear death even more than pain. It’s strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over. " - Jim Morrison
