because of you

Because of you, I found myself.

In your eyes, I see the courage to face everything and the escape that must be discarded.

You taught me to be truly independent, after getting rid of the distractions around me.

In your innocent smile, I found the long-lost happiness and touching.

I need to say goodbye to my past self, after meeting you.

I need to find a new window, in the days with you, even if there is only a ray of sunshine through, it will be my eternal light.

——The impression written on 2012.10.6

Detachment quotes

  • Henry Barthes: How are you to imagine anything if the images are always provided for you?

    Henry Barthes: Doublethink. To deliberately believe in lies, while knowing they're false.

    Henry Barthes: Examples of this in everyday life: "Oh, I need to be pretty to be happy. I need surgery to be pretty. I need to be thin, famous, fashionable." Our young men today are being told that women are whores, bitches, things to be screwed, beaten, shit on, and shamed. This is a marketing holocaust. Twenty-four hours a day for the rest of our lives, the powers that be are hard at work dumbing us to death.

    Henry Barthes: So to defend ourselves, and fight against assimilating this dullness into our thought processes, we must learn to read. To stimulate our own imagination, to cultivate our own consciousness, our own belief systems. We all need skills to defend, to preserve our own minds.

  • Henry Barthes: [agitated at assisted living nurse] Let me be very clear here, you stop neglecting his needs, or I will start fucking with yours! I will have you fired! Then it's going to be your family! Your children are gonna be at risk! You got it?
