Within my mouth I
hold the unforgivable
need for violence.

anger
SOL: Fatigue
i don’t want to feel
this anger anymore, but
where can i put it?
3AM Thoughts // AKA “Haiku 55.”
MIND: Retire
If ever I am independent, I will instantly retire to some solitude; I will see no one, not even you, and there I will live until the horrible disgust I feel at all that is human be somewhat removed by quiet and retirement. My heart is too full of hatred.
// Mary Shelley, from a letter to Marianne Hunt
MIND: Fiery
Self-love is the foundation for your capacity to love the other person.
If you don’t take good care of yourself, if you are not happy, if you are not peaceful, you cannot make the other person happy.
You cannot help the other person; you cannot love.
Your capacity for loving another person depends entirely on your capacity for loving yourself, for taking care of yourself.
// Thich Nhat Hanh
