" Even though I had been working my way out of that violent experience I realized that I would remain a victim of it until I recognized the violence in myself. And my willingness to give up my Victims Anonymous badge followed my realizing that the witholding of passion and pleasure, from myself, was a form of self-violence. "

I think that happiness is when you can let yourself feel
every emotion you want at any time instead of being a lying little fuck.

"I want to be able to dance through the people that come in and go out of your life. I want to learn how to dance with the gifts when they come and the gifts when they need to take a different route."

"Every person is unique. You have to find and respect that unique part
in
yourself. You can't expect others to do the work for you. I believe a
personality is like a labyrinth where you can make a wonderful journey.
And
that journey can take a lifetime."
-Tori Amos
-One, 3/00

"We all get intimidated by showing ourselves... we think, 'if I really show who I am, and someone goes (makes spitting noise), then it's going to crush me.' Well, it's not going to crush me. It doesn't crush you if somebody does that, somebody will do that many times and once you accept that that's not why you're doing it, you're doing it as a form of expression."
(Little Earthquakes video)

"It's great being a mum. I don't have time for just nonsense thinking, so crawling on the floor and playing gumba, gumba, gumba is really important, and if something's going to take me away from that, it's got to be just as important."
