As a body in a world, here is our choice. We can be more loving or less loving. That's it. We can relax as the entire moment's show of love's swirl, a vicious rainstorm, tweeting birds, a lover's lips, a close to some aspect of experience, pulling away as we separate #MyNatalie
How to unravel the knot of reality? Slowly and patiently. You cannot run away from it. You cannot run towards it. Yet truth runs in your footsteps. It is the light of the sun, the winter rainstorms, the heat of summer in the city
Her best, wild, passionate, rebellious, and human, often too large and truthful a creature for society's taste. Her most outlandish, profane, eccentric, even a little mad, is at least as disquieting a figure #ForHer#Always#NatalieAnnHolloway
The only girl for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, desirous of everything at the same time, the one who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like roman candles exploding across the stars #NatalieAnnHolloway#Always#ForYou
There is only one way out of a trap, that we don't choose, neither this nor that, we simply don't choose. We withdraw from choice and become choiceless. Choicelessness is freedom. To choose is to choose a prison, to choose is to choose a bondage
And from my legacy of faith, I never seemed to question what the beliefs had taught me. Perhaps that is what unsettled me the most. Because without questioning, I wondered how there could be true understanding
But hereโs an even better truth. God knows I canโt make it right. None of it. The day I took a good look at my sins, my real sins, was the day I discovered 1ย John 1:9. But if I confess my sins, and just forgive my sins and cleanse myself of all wickedness
Somethings worth having defy logic. They come with obstacles, challenges, battles and long periods of wandering in the dark. My path won't make sense to my family or friends. People will weigh in with their life rules and fears, but in the end it is my life
That pull I feel is real and often my instinct. It nags at me everyday. Follow it for as far as it takes me because life is too short to dwell on indecision, while I forget to live. Take a chance because I have a good heart God isn't going to abandon me
I just canโt give in to weak thoughts. I have to beat down those devils that try get inside my head and try to make me panic. I'm going along, putting one foot ahead of the other, when I go backwards it wonโt be too far backwards
Anyone can give up, it is the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone would expect me to fall apart, that is true strength
I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. So I take the calculated risk to build, to fail and to succeed. It is my heritage to think and act for myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations
I do not choose to be a common man, it is my right to be uncommon. I seek opportunity, not security, to take a calculated risk, to build, to fail and to succeed. To refuse to barter incentive for a dole, I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence
There canโt be normalized preferences and choices of people in life. The normality of people preferences is diversity and it is generalized through its uniqueness. I choose not to monopolize other people happiness or feelings to ours, what makes us happy won't make you happy
