You know what I like, and feel is so important? That he doesn’t say “Men thinks those are THEIR positions”. He says “We think those are OUR positions.”

Damn.

There are some things about myself I can’t explain to anyone. There are some things I don’t understand at all. I can’t tell what I think about things or what I’m after. I don’t know what my strengths are or what I’m supposed to do about them. But if I start thinking about these things in too much detail the whole thing gets scary.

If you have been brutally broken, but still have the courage to be gentle to others then you deserve a love deeper than the ocean itself.

There is something about her eyes. Eyes don’t breathe. I know that much. But hers looked breathless.

You’re the only one I trust enough to see inside my soul.

Let her sleep For when she wakes, She will move mountains.

I was born when she kissed me. I died when she left me. I lived a few weeks while she loved me.

We’re all scared most of the time. Life would be lifeless if we weren’t. Be scared, and then jump into that fear. Again and again. Just remember to hold on to yourself while you do it.

Tim Gunn on Plus Size Clothing

Amen. The plus sized clothing out there is crazy and makes me just…

I DID NOT KNOW TIM GUNN WAS ASEXUAL

We do not, as a world, deserve the goodness that is Tim Gunn. My mom (a large woman in her late-fifties at the time) met him at a lecture and he spent several minutes complimenting her dress (which she made herself) and discussing why she’d had to start making ALL her own clothes (could no longer find nice, pretty things in her size) and then laughing over being the oldest people in the room (since it was a university lecture largely attended by students). My mom hasn’t felt good about her weight in years, but Tim Gunn made her proud of knowing how to dress for her shape and her taste in fabric patterns. According to my brother who witnessed all this, she was beaming.

I’ll read my books and I’ll drink coffee and I’ll listen to music, and I’ll bolt the door.
