I’m not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things.

People are uncomfortable with sexuality that is not made for male consumption.
Having perfected our disguise, we spend our lives searching for someone we don’t fool.

Life is intrinsically, well, boring and dangerous at the same time. At any given moment the floor may open up. Of course, it almost never does; that’s what makes it so boring.

Close some doors today. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere.

When the soul suffers too much, it develops a taste for misfortune.

People run from rain but sit in bathtubs full of water.
The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it.

Imagine you’re at a party. A guy offers you a drink. You say no. He says “Come on, one drink!” You say “no thanks.” Later, he brings you a soda. “I know you said you didn’t want a drink, but I was getting one for myself and you looked thirsty.” For you to refuse at this point makes you the asshole. He’s just being nice, right? Predators use the social contract and our own good hearts and fear of being rude against us. If you drink the drink, you’re teaching him that it just takes a little persistence on his part to overcome your “no.” If you say “Really, I appreciate it, but no thanks” and put the drink down and walk away from it, you’re the one who looks rude in that moment. But the fact is, you didn’t ask for the drink and you don’t want the drink and you don’t have to drink it just to make some guy feel validated.
The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true.
