Måske er det svært for en dansker at sætte sig ind i, hvordan det er at få afslag alene på sin afstamning. Hvordan det er kun at blive lukket delvist ind i et samfund, hvor man gerne vil være være. Et samfund, hvor man er, men ikke er alligevel. Altså jeg er til stede i det her samfund, men der er ingen, der ser mig og mine problemer, der er ingen, der vil hjælpe mig. Hvad skal jeg så gøre for, at folk lytter til mig og ser, at jeg er her? Det kan jeg gøre ved at skabe ravage og kaos. Hvis vi skaber kaos nok, så ser resten af Danmark os. Så hører i os og mærker os. Så kan det godt være, vi får dårlig omtale, men i ved, at vi er her, og så længe vi har det dårligt, så har i det også dårligt. For hvis i ser, der er skyderier, at der er vold i gaden, så er det ikke kun vores virkelighed. Det er også jeres virkelighed. ↗

Empty-page staring again tonight. It's maddening. I suppose people who don't write (like the Connollies) imagine anything that can be though can be expressed. Well, I don't know. I can't do it. It's this sort of thing that makes me belittle the whole business: what's the good of a 'talent' if you can't do it when you want to? What should we think of a woodcarver who couldn't woodcarver? or a pianist who couldn't play the piano? Bah, likewise grrr. ↗

I thought I was dreaming. It was the most amazing moment of my entire life. Not only is Bill the love of my life, but he's also my best friend. I couldn't believe my dream guy was asking me to marry him! ↗

Go for it, while you can. I know you have it in you. And I can't promise you'll get everything you want, but I can promise nothing will change if you don't try. ↗

I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes. ↗

In school we learn that mistakes are bad, and we are punished for making them. Yet, if you look at the way humans are designed to learn, we learn by making mistakes. We learn to walk by falling down. If we never fell down, we would never walk. ↗
