My life as a curious autodidact

The female doesn't want a rich man or a handsome man or even a poet, she wants a man who understands her eyes if she gets sad, and points to his chest and says - "here is your home country."

The past is a country of held breaths misread as silence, or the way things had to be. But I am trying to see

“I have the gift of desiring, of inventing more and more desires, of never knowing satiation and dullness. And I am cursed with the lack of genius for renunciation.”

“Ignore labyrinths that others may construct around you and remember that the shortest distance between two points is your own path.”

“Someone can be madly in love with you and still not be ready. They can love you in a way you have never been loved and still not join you on the bridge. And whatever their reasons you must leave. Because you never ever have to inspire anyone to meet you on the bridge. You never ever have to convince someone to do the work to be ready. There is more extraordinary love, more love that you have never seen, out here in this wide and wild universe. And there is the love that will be ready.”

“Be softer with you. You are a breathing thing. A memory to someone. A home to a life.”

“If someone does not want me, it is not the end of the world. But if I do not want me, the world is nothing but endings.”

For things to reveal themselves to us, we need to be ready to abandon our views about them.

“The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.”

I want love to be simple. I want to trust without thinking. I want to be generous with my affection and patience and love unconditionally. It is easier to love a person with their flaws than to weed through them. I want to love the whole person, not parts; and this is how I want to be loved.

The breaking of a wave cannot explain the whole sea.
