Collage No 3: Fake your beauty, fake reality

rules of attraction

"the view that the desire to become a man or a transman or to live transgendered is motivated by a repudiation of feminity presumes that every person born with female anatomy is therefore in possession of a proper feminity (whether innate, symbolically assumed, or socially assigned), one that can either be owned or disowned, appropriated or expropiated. Indeed, the critique of male-to-female (MTF) transsexuality has centered on the appropriation of feminity, as if it belongs properly to a given sex, as if sex is discretely given, as if gender identity could and should be derived unequivocally from presumed anatomy".

I´m going to say it without regrets.
Darling, if I was a man I would have been your lover.

I LOVE LATIN AMERICA

Only by living absurdly is it possible to break out of this infinite absurdity.

My mother works in a hospital. She always needed to eat her bananas hiding in the toilet. I couldn´t find a reason why until I understood that sometimes your phobias can become real.

Pop Art looks out into the world. It doesn't look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself.

(quote by roy lichtenstein| photo by esmir filho)

Beauty can lead to a kind of madness that is called passion.

l'enfer

I was now so much bigger that I could not see myself anymore.

As big as a landscape in the distance. I was in the distance.

More perceptible in my ultimate mountains and in my most remote rivers.

(…)

How can I say it, if not timidly like this: life is it self my self. Life is it self my self, and I don’t understand what I say. And then I adore.

(Clarice Lispector, A paixão segundo G.H.)

fire for fire

Honest criticism means nothing: what one wants is unrestrained passion, fire for fire.
Henry Miller

DON'T GET BORED, CAUSE LIFE IS SHORT!

I love these posters of parties in Berlin!!

When you're alone and life is making you lonely, linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty!

Doctor: What are you doing here, honey? You're not even old enough to know how bad life gets.
Cecilia: Obviously, Doctor, you've never been a 13-year-old girl.

The heart beating in solitude.
