You’re driving me crazy, Blaire. Insane, baby. Fucking insane, ↗

Die Menschen schleppen dieses Gewicht der Sehnsucht mit sich herum, zum Glück meist nicht sichtbar, sondern ‚latent’ – wie einen inneren blauen Fleck? – und auf einmal ist ohne ersichtlichen Grund, einfach so, jemand da (wer?), auf den diese Sehnsucht in Form von Liebe projiziert wird. Wenn die Grundmuster nicht zusammen passen, nicht übereinstimmen, gleiten sie auseinander, und die Bürde sucht sich ihren Weg zu einem anderen Menschen. Sofern sie nicht wieder unter der Oberfläche verschwindet – ‚latent’ wird. ↗

mysterious money had stood to him as the symbol of earthly good, and the immediate object of toil. He had seemed to love it little in the years when every penny had its purpose for him; for he loved the purpose then. But now, when all purpose was gone, that habit of looking towards the money and grasping it with a sense of fulfilled effort made a loam that was deep enough for the seeds of desire. ↗

— George Eliot

There is an awkward silence that overcomes you when cross paths with the person that kisses your heart the second that you meet them. It balances on the edge of unknown but always desired. ↗

I can understand where he's coming from... I too was once secretly in love with you, and I could do nothing but watch from afar. Being close to you while pretending that we're nothing more than friends. The first time I touched you with sexual intention, it was like an electrical current flowing through my fingertips and it paralyzed me. I wanted to make your senses go numb with pleasure. Not only physical pleasure, but desire too, deep inside. ↗

We could not be fulfilled if we weren't inauthentic some of the time—inauthentic, that is, in relation to such things as our passing desires to throttle our children, poison our spouse, or end our marriage over a dispute about changing a lightbulb. ↗

Each one of us is the architect of his own fate; and he is unfortunate indeed who will try to build himself without the inspiration of God, without realizing that he grows from within, not from without. ↗

People who do not love themselves can adore others, because adoration is making someone else big and ourselves small. They can desire others, because desire comes out of sense of inner incompleteness, which demands to be filled. But they can not love others, because love is an affirmation of the living growing being in all of us. If you don’t have it, you cant give it. ↗
