PROLO HO

not a bougie bitch
It’s a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you’re ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.

aloofshahbanou:

not here nor there, both/neither, everything and nothing, no home, no space, no category, fragmented identities, demolition of self, renovation of self, longing for the intangible, living in corners, on edges, inside pockets that get dark and drafty after a while, looking for the light that so many other people have found, how does one transcend these feelings, how does one evade the agony of temporality and being? there must be divinity in displacement, discomfort has to be malleable. postcolonial malaise is one hell of a drug.

bintbattuta:

Loneliness is the deal. Loneliness is the last great taboo. If we don’t accept loneliness, then capitalism wins hands down. Because capitalism is all about trying to convince people that you can distract yourself, that you can make it better. And it ain’t true.

There is no need for you to leave the house. Stay at your table and listen. Don’t even listen, just wait. Don’t even wait, be completely quiet and alone. The world will offer itself to you to be unmasked; it can’t do otherwise; in raptures it will writhe before you.
