vezenquando parece que é como se você precisasse morrer mesmo que vocÊ não queira. vezenquando é como se a sensação de que você poderia estar morto no minuto seguinte fosse a melhor coisa que pduesse sentir e o mais bizarro é que você quer desesperasdamente ficar vivo. tudo parece caótico e triste apesar de estar bem. e tudo está bem, não está? você nem sabe mais, mas sabe que precisa morrer. o estranho é que você nem ao menos é do tipo suicida. o estranho é que você quer muito ficar vivo. você só não sabe bem como.

ONLY RAPISTS CAN PREVENT RAPE
-author unknown
A lot has been said about how to prevent rape. Women should learn self-defense. Women should lock themselves in their houses after dark. Women shouldn't have long hair and women shouldn't wear short skirts. Women shouldn't leave drinks unattended. Fuck, they shouldn't dare to get drunk at all. Instead of that bullshit, how about:
If a woman is drunk, don't rape her.
If a woman is walking alone at night, don't rape her.
If a women is drugged and unconscious, don't rape her.
If a woman is wearing a short skirt, don't rape her.
If a woman is jogging in a park at 5 am, don't rape her.
If a woman looks like your ex-girlfriend you're still hung up on, don't rape her.
If a woman is asleep in her bed, don't rape her.
If a woman is asleep in your bed, don't rape her.
If a woman is doing her laundry, don't rape her.
If a woman is in a coma, don't rape her.
If a woman changes her mind in the middle of or about a particular activity, don't rape her.
If a woman has repeatedly refused a certain activity, don't rape her.
If a woman is not yet a woman, but a child, don't rape her.
If your girlfriend or wife is not in the mood, don't rape her.
If your step-daughter is watching TV, don't rape her.
If you break into a house and find a woman there, don't rape her.
If your friend thinks it's okay to rape someone, tell him it's not, and that he's not your friend.
If your "friend" tells you he raped someone, report him to the police.
If your frat-brother or another guy at the party tells you there's an unconscious woman upstairs and it's your turn, don't rape her, call the police and tell the guy he's a rapist.
Tell your sons, god-sons, nephews, grandsons, sons of friends it's not okay to rape someone.
Don't tell your women friends how to be safe and avoid rape.
Don't imply that she could have avoided it if she'd only done/not done x.
Don't imply that it's in any way her fault.
Don't let silence imply agreement when someone tells you he "got some" with the drunk girl.
Don't perpetuate a culture that tells you that you have no control over or responsibility for your actions. You can, too, help yourself.
If you agree, re-post it. It's that important.
Note:
This goes for any gendered rape, male on female or female on male or female on female or FTM on MTF or non gendered to dual gendered and so on and so forth....

“ When somebody says, “I don’t think women should be raped for wearing short skirts, but what do they expect when they do go out like that?” what you are actually saying is that if a woman in a short skirt is raped, you will be less likely to hold her rapist culpable. Which makes a woman in a short skirt really appealing to a rapist. That’s something that you did. That’s not something the woman in the short skirt did, or something the rapist did. You made that woman a more comfortable target by making it clear that if she got raped, you would be less upset about it, less willing to see the rapist go to jail, less willing to support the woman. A woman is not increasing her risk of being raped by wearing a short skirt. You are increasing her risk of being raped by saying that women who get raped in short skirts should have expected that. Rapists hear you say that. By only raping the women that bystanders agree should be raped, a rapist reduces his chance of being caught and, if caught, punished. And that is why he will pick those women, over and over again, not because there is something more appealingly rapeable about them — they have what any woman has, as far as rape goes — but because he will be less likely to be held culpable for his actions. ”

"Among other things, you’ll find that you’re not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You’re by no means alone on that score, you’ll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You’ll learn from them—if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It’s a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn’t education. It’s history. It’s poetry."
J.D. Salinger
and just to prove him right:
"I know exactly how that is. To love somebody who doesn’t deserve it. Because they are all you have. Because any attention is better than no attention. For exactly the same reason, it is sometimes satisfying to cut yourself and bleed. On those gray days where eight in the morning looks no different from noon and nothing has happened and nothing is going to happen and you are washing a glass in the sink and it breaks-accidentally-and punctures your skin. And then there is this shocking red, the brightest thing in the day, so vibrant it buzzes, this blood of yours. That is okay sometimes because at least you know you’re alive."

i do live in a box
você está preso em uma grande caixa branca e branco é uma cor tão desesperadora e vocÊ não entende porque usam em hospitais para acalmar, todos dizem, mas não acalma só piora e piora de uma maneira devastadora. piora de uma maneira que dói. e faz parecer ainda mais vazio. vazio vazio vazio e igual e ai vem o desespero de saber que é semrpe assim e você não sabe como as pessoas consegue ter vidas comuns com suas tão bem planejadas rotinas porque você quer dormir por três dias diretos e passar semanas sem ver outro ser humano porque é tudo sempre tão igual e doloroso e branco e ninguém parece se importar. você raramente encontrar pessoas que sentem essa dor que percebem que sabem do vazio a caixa as paredes brancas. são tão poucas as pessoas que não olham cheias de dó e perguntam mas o que foi que te aconteceu, meu anjo, tudo está tão bem e está e está como sempre esteve e como sempre via estar porque é que você não enxerga?! está ali e sempre esteve e é enorme e vazio e igual e igual e sempre a mesma coisa não importa o quanto você tente mudar. você nunca consegue mudar. você nem sabe o que, ms tenta e tenta e tenta e é como se você estivesse arranhando as paredes da caixa e seus dedos começam a sangrar, mas não tem efeito algum exceto a dor que vem porque a dor é algo que chega a confortar. a dor que você sente faz com que você saiba que no meio daquele vazio branco desesperador está você e mesmo sendo tudo tão terrível você ainda sente. você passa a amar a dor a procura-la porque as mudanças não vieram e não virão e as pessoas seguem suas vidas e tudo continua como sempre foi e você ainda se desespera porque como é que tanta gente pode simplesmente não ver ou ignorar ignorar ignorar ignorar algo tão claro tão doloroso. e cada vez que pensa sobre isso você se desespera e são lágrimas e soluços e pensamentos suicidas e vontades de fugir ou de mudar tudo que você puder mudar. pintar o cabelo ou cortar até não ter cabelo para pintar ou nãoa tender telefonemas ou dirigir sem parar até estar dois estados do ponto de partida numa praia que você nunca ouviu falar e saber que tem que voltar para todo aquele vazio cercado de paredes brancas e é ai que você sofre um acidente ou outro e é ai que se quebra um braço ou se queima a barriga com cigarro ou acaba precisandod e três pontos na mão porque a faca escorregou enquanto descascava laranja. você precisa ter algo para se agarrar. você não pode se perder no vazio, você se recusa porque você sabe, lá no fundo no fundo mesmo voc~e sabe que quas eninguém mais liga porque são tipos diferentes de pessoas e que se você se afogar ninguém vai perceber e ninguém vai te trazer de volta. você precisa disso. você não quer desaparecer no vazio.

“ Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself that you tasted as many as you could. ”
