Constellations

"My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations" This is something I find true so my blog is mostly reblogs of quotes and poems that seem to have been fathomed for me.

Relativity.

I don’t think
about you much
anymore.

I don’t think
about air either,
but I need it to breathe.

But food cannot love you back
That’s why you have me"

"Some people bring out the worst in you, others bring out the best, and then there are those remarkably rare, addictive ones who just bring out the most. Of everything. They make you feel so alive that you’d follow them straight into hell, just to keep getting your fix."

"… the socialization of boys regarding masculinity is often at the expense of women. I came to realize that we don’t raise boys to be men, we raise them not to be women (or gay men). We teach boys that girls and women are “less than” and that leads to violence by some and silence by many. It’s important for men to stand up to not only stop men’s violence against women but, to teach young men a broader definition of masculinity that includes being empathetic, loving and non-violent."

"

I saw my face today
And it looked older,
Without the warmth of wisdom
Or the softness
Born of pain and waiting.
The dreams were gone from my eyes,
Hope lost in hollowness
On my cheeks,
A finger of death
Pulling at my jaws.

So I did my push-ups
And wondered if I’d ever find you,
To see my face
With friendlier eyes than mine.”

"

One of those nights where I search through tumblr for a post that can put my current emotion into words.

Tonight I am going to bed empty, without a post and without an emotion.

over the years, i’ve experienced something in my vietnamese family that i call “fierce love”.  it’s what i would imagine if my mom, a petite cute rooster zodiac woman, met beyonce.

it’s the love that i don’t necessarily experience with hugs, kisses, and constant verbal and physical affirmation, but through assertive discipline, passionate judgement, resilience, and lots and lots of making food and me eating it.

i’ve combined this concept of fierce love with one of my favorite things to do - writing love letters.  dedicated to the mothers, daughters, grandmothers, and fierce food females who’ve nourished us.
