“I'd already have had it vacuumed out of me if women weren't playthings in this shitty political era that we've been forced into where our rights are being taken away and classified as options- or rather non-options, in this case.”
― Your Body, My Choice: Killstreme: Harlow
― Your Body, My Choice: Killstreme: Harlow
“In our day and age, global society has been saturated with the wrong teaching of false positivity. The denial of darkness never equates the abundance of light. And the denial of your actual character never equates to the reality of your best character. People today are afraid to work on themselves and on their actual realities, they believe that outward appearances are enough. Outward appearances have become everything in our current day and age. People don't see what they are actually like, nor who they actually are, in reality. They live in a phantasmic version of reality. It has to stop. In the phantasmic version of reality, there is no chance to experience true love, true goodness, and true metamorphosis. The caterpillar does not become a butterfly by telling everybody it has wings. It actually buries itself in darkness and grows those wings.”
