"‘In the name of the past we carry out the greatest deceits in the present,’ Oliveira said. ‘Look, Manolo, you talk about understanding each other, but basically you realize that I also want to come to some sort of understanding with you, and you means more than you yourself. The burden is the fact that real understanding is something else. We’re satisfied with too little. When friends understand each other well, when lovers understand each other well, when families understand each other well, then we think that everything is harmonious. Pure illusion, a mirror for larks. Sometimes I feel that there’s more understanding between two people punching each other in the face than among those who are there looking on from outside.’"

"I was raised among books, making invisible friends in pages that seemed cast from dust and whose smell I carry on my hands to this day."

"And we held each other and laughed and cried about what we had paid for that toughness, and how hard it was to explain to anyone who didn’t already know it that soft and tough had to be one and the same for either to work at all, like our joy and the tears mingling on the one pillow beneath our heads."

— Audre Lorde, “Tar Beach,” as found in Home Girls: A Black Feminist’s Anthology

I’m not ignoring this blog, I swear.

Well, I kind of am, and I wish I could say it was due to creative pursuits but that would be a lie.

Basically I feel fairly swamped with work and preparing to go back to college in, like, a few days……I will try my hardest to update more soon! <3
