ABOUT ME
He does not need opium. He has the gift of reverie.
~Anais Nin
There was some open space between what he knew and what he tried to believe, but nothing could be done about it, and if you canâ
PHILOSOPHY
I believe everyone learns from one another. We are all teachers and students. Gender, race, & sexuality are all social constructs.
Ani Difranco said the 'most that we can do is just to see each other through.' I believe that is a very fundamental part of human consciousness & the resulting capacity to love and feel loved: to provide consistant emotional & physical support.
The only place we are truly free is in our heads. .. . dream or be dead.
~ Dax Riggs
