LOS BANDOLEROS ( 2009 )
Personal growth becomes so addictive once you realize that it’s always possible to improve your experience of being.

Shall We Sleep
Shall we sleep
my love?
Fall into the hazy
palm of it
and feel its long
fingers wrap
around our flesh?
Shall we take
note of the shallow
indentations
its grip leaves
behind on our skin?
Shall we sleep
my love?
Become the quiet
sound in our ears
of our heartbeat
against the pillow?
Feel our breath
leave our lungs
and imagine it
stirring together
and dancing
above our heads?
Shall we sleep
my love?
Trade all the light
and fury of this
for all the color
and calm of that?
Curl together and
watch as our legs
become roots
that grow down from
this bed and plant
themselves into
the earth below?
Intertwine.
Shall we sleep
my love?

All I am saying, darling, is this: Trust your mind. Trust it sometimes, and draw or paint or write the passionate, irresponsible and super-wise things it sees.
Kurt Vonnegut, from a letter to Edith Vonnegut written c. November 1975 (via violentwavesofemotion)
You know damn well that sex isn’t ever enough for you. You want a brilliant mind that you can stimulate, but that you can also honestly look up to.
Sylvia Plath, from a journal entry featured in “The Unabridged Journals,”

Not to offer advice nobody asked for but fixing ur sleep schedule is life changing
Things that actually work if u try at them:
- Drinking water
- No longer making self deprecating jokes
- Making sure to take time out of the day to relax and take a breather
- Lighting candles
- Counting ur breaths in and out if ur having a panic attack
- Getting up and trying to do one thing even if u can’t do everything maybe brushing ur teeth but not having the energy to shower
$0 self-care:
- enjoy a long, hot shower after an exhausting day
- avoid or cut toxic people out of your life
- have a nice, lengthy nap to rejuvinate
- go on a sky watching or star gazing
- take a break and unplug on social media
- unfriend/mute toxic people on the internet
- go for a walk or a jog on the park
- reconnect with your good old friends
- take your dog/pet for a walk
- enjoy the sun for a couple of minutes
- do a random act of kindness
- have a quick movie marathon
- try to do something that you used to love
- listen to your favorite songs when you were a kid
- artist or not, try painting your feelings
- for a day, try decluttering your thoughts and stop overthinking
- go on a window shopping (even w/o buying anything)
