I'm ready

So I've been reading Paulo Coelho's tweets and I've read some of his other quotes in my super beautiful Paulo Coelho-calendar (adore below) and I've come to the simple conclusion that he is a very wise man. If you ever are in need of quick inspiration this is the answer;

"If we don't face our fears, our fears will chase us forever" 

- Paulo Coelho

Some of you might know this, but when it comes to singing, which is one of the things I actually love the most in life, I am a bit of a coward. Well, and I'm not going to claim that Paulo changed my mind even though his quote described it pretty well, I've turned a page I think and I've decided to give it a try. So hopefully one of these days I'll post a cover of some ole' song. Fun, fun!

Women's Day Delay



‎"I swear to god I will lose my mind if I hear the “sex sells” fallacy one more time. Sex does not sell. If sex sold, we would see penises where we see boobs. Naked men would be on everything that naked women are on. Sex isn’t what they’re selling you. They’re selling you an impossible, pornographically fueled misogynistic idea of the perfect woman."

Many nights you would hide from the audience, when they were not in tune with your progress

Today taught me that my job-hunting efforts have generated two results this far - two job interviews. I really hope they can turn into more.

A little prince




There's no vocabulary for love within a family, love that's lived in but not looked at, love within the light of which all else is seen, the love within which all other love finds speech. This love is silent.

- T S Eliot

A real human being and a real hero

Just sent in an application to volunteer at a secondhandshop supporting the poor in Sweden, Stockholms Stadsmission. I'd really love to volunteer and make some sense, I feel there has a been a lack of that since I came back from Chile. I think helping others might actually help me too - in one way or another. I could really do with some strenght right now.


This view would help.

Duties

 

Days, so many
with the essence of no sense
at all

Days, so many
and we're actors to host them
assistants to plan them
athletes to endure them
historians to remember them
but most importantly

we're artists to taint them

Days, so, so many
have, shall and will pass
and it makes no sense at all

no sense


- Litage
