unlearn shame. all forms of shame: unemployment, illness, vulnerability, longing, desire, errors, failures. you do not need to feel ashamed of what you are experiencing or living. freedom and shame cannot coexist.
La cúspide del amor siempre va a ser la admiración. El otro conserva algo que no puedo absorber, explicar ni reducir a mi necesidad. Hay cosas en esa persona que permanecen fuera de mí y, justamente por eso, continúan convocándome.
The problem with capitalism is that if you aren't born into wealth, your only capital is your labor. So automatically, your human body, is now a commodity that you must sell,and if you can't sell it for enough,you won't be able to care for it and will lose your capital.

Kierkegaard ne güzel demiş; “Neyi seçersen seç pişman olursun. Çünkü sorun tercihlerinde değil, yaşanmamış bir hayatı romantize etmendir. İnsan her daim gidilmemiş bir yolu cazibeli ve gizemli bulur. Bu yüzden mesele en doğru seçimi yapmak değil, hangi pişmanlıkla yaşayacağını seçip karar vermendir.”
