The Poet Dreamer: Relationship Check Up →

A healthy relationship means that both members of the couple are…
1. Communicating with each other: Talking about problems without screaming and shouting; listening to each other, and respecting their viewpoint; being willing to adapt and to sometimes…
“Remember, life is a journey. If you got everything you wanted all at once there’d be no point to living. Enjoy the ride, and in the end you’ll see these “set backs” as giant leaps forward, only you couldn’t see the bigger picture in the moment. Remain calm, all is within reach; all you have to do is show up everyday, stay true to your path and you will surely find the treasure you seek.”

We all want our close relationships to work – and it’s not just a matter of chance or luck. The 6 steps below are designed to assist you in creating successful relationships:
1. Make quality time a priority. You need to carve out some time just for you –…
ربي إنزع من قلبي حب كل شيء لا تحب
”My Lord, remove from my heart the love of everything that You do not love.”
“It is a kind of love, is it not?
How the cup holds the tea,
How the chair stands sturdy and foursquare,
How the floor receives the bottoms of shoes
Or toes. How soles of feet know
Where they’re supposed to be.
I’ve been thinking about the patience
Of ordinary things, how clothes
Wait respectfully in closets
And soap dries quietly in the dish,
And towels drink the wet
From the skin of the back.
And the lovely repetition of stairs.
And what is more generous than a window?” —Pat Schneider, “The Patience of Ordinary Things” (via pigmenting)

The first and only time I got my heart broken (I was naive and stupid and going through a rebellious phase), it was the worst kind of feeling. I remember writing a long letter and I remember feeling like my heart had been shattered into a million little pieces. What was striking was the way it…

I slowly spread you out, soft and supple before me
Revealing just how wet I have made you
I remove your top in a dash
Revealing your delicious curves
I lift the mouthwatering sweetness revealed
and we quickly find ourselves blended together
Two intertwined, connected,…

“The heart is inherently dependent on Allâh in two ways: from the point of view of worship, which is the ultimate goal, and from the point of view of seeking His help and relying upon Him, which are the means to that end. The heart cannot be sound, or succeed, or find joy, or be happy, or feel…

Ridiculous amount of emphasis on being in a relationship, or being married because you’re incomplete unless you have someone in your life. So much emphasis on having someone special in your life because you think he or she will be your savior, your world, your everything. You think they’ll save…
I think I missed out on the “neat and cute handwriting” gene that every girl seems to have and this is unfair
Intelligent people have messier handwriting because they think fast. When you think and process things faster, you can also write quicker, but it’s going to be sloppy. People with neat writing are usually (no offense) not as smart. I embrace my shit writing.

“As I get older, I’ve learned to listen to people rather than accuse them of things.”
—Po Bronson, quoted in Publishers Weekly (via michaeldx4)
“I am over the passivity of good men. Where the hell are you? You live with us, make love with us, father us, befriend us, brother us, get nurtured and mothered and eternally supported by us, so why aren’t you standing with us? Why aren’t you driven to the point of madness by the rape and humiliation of us?”

Eve Ensler: Over It (via dreamtater)
I don’t like the idea of “good” or “bad” people. I think if we can move away from that - especially in cases of rape or abuse - it would help. It isn’t a person who is good or bad, but rather their actions. So I don’t care if Billy is a “good” person; it matters whether Billy committed the act or not.
But yeah, passivity pisses me off.

the absolute hypocrisy of the american media is astounding.
seriously cnn posts a story about rape in India and the whole audience blows up and says NO WOMAN SHOULD GO INTO INDIA WHAT A BARBARIC COUNTRY WOW ALL INDIAN MEN ARE GROSS
and then they post a story about the Steubenville rape case and…nothing, they didn’t even try to be sneaky about it, it’s obvious people care about two golden football players than a rape victim
Just so we're clear
- Cocaine possession: 3-5 years in prison
- Crack possession: 15 years in prison
- Pirating music: Civil lawsuit and/or up to five years in prison
- What these little rapist shits got: One year in prison
“The way to love someone is to lightly run your finger over that person’s soul until you find a crack, and then gently pour your love into that crack.”
