"I know this now. Every man gives his life for what he believes. Every woman gives her life for what she believes. Sometimes people believe in little or nothing yet they give their lives to that little or nothing. One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. And then it is gone. But to sacrifice what you are and live without belief, that's more terrible than dying." --Joan of Arc

Rash judgements, nor the sneers of selfish men,
Nor greetings where no kindness is, nor all
The dreary intercourse of daily life,
Shall e'er prevail against us." --William Wordsworth

Yes, like when talking to teenagers who are "experimenting" with drugs and alcohol. I try to impress upon them, based on my own experience, just "Live to tell about it."

Song of Autumn

by Kristina Tunisia

I don't give a shit if I'm broken.
I like being broken.
I like being bitten fingernails
cuticles like soil in a drought
things a story of failure
stomach the history of womanhood
skin wrinkled and cut
scarred
scarred
scarred
my body is my
garden
and its brokenness
makes it ready for planting.
