i think i love you, which is odd, because i promised myself i couldn't love anything that breathes - on account of a sense for the dramatic and also one time i got thrown against the ground so hard that the splatter was chalk dust. i said i'd never let that happen standing up. it happened like a sunrise anyway, between the fingers over my eyes. you flew as a bird and made a nest in my heart. i want it to pass over me like a locust. my hands keep shaking. anything close can cut through bone. like looking down a deep hole, i hear the stones skitter over and plunge. i wanna be an adult about this and instead i feel like crying. this will only make things worse. i wasn't supposed to do this again. what a fool, this girl.
it's like she wants to get hurt.

i cannot emphasise enough how much you need to create something. anything. it doesn't matter if you suck. you don't need to monetise it, or make it your career. you can restart an old hobby; you can start from scratch. it doesn't matter. you just need to hold something and be able to say "i did that". baking, drawing, painting, writing, coding, crafts, whatever. make something ! you cannot have all your hobbies be a form of consumption. it's fun, it's great in its own right. but the single best action to make yourself feel better, to calm your mind, to gain self esteem, is to Create

I agree with this sadly.
There are brilliant women out there but most women aren't " crazy" or "obsessive" enough like men.
Men are more obsessive on average and that's what it takes to be great.
Yes women were oppressed in the past but I think creative genius has more to do with our neurology. If anything, more great art should have broken through from our oppression. The best art comes from suffering but you are born an artist.
Women like Mary Shelley and Emily Dickinson are RARE.
Many aristocratic women had the time to write ✍️ Where are the others?

"PERSEUS STAGGERS OUT WITH THE HEAD OF MEDUSA LIKE A SEX WAR WHERE THE MALE BARELY SURVIVES EXTINCTION IN HIS ENCOUNTER WITH THE FEMALE UNDERWORLD"

Art is order. But order is not necessarily just, kind, or beautiful. Order may be arbitrary, harsh, and cruel. Art has nothing to do with morality... The artist makes art not to save humankind but to save himself.
Camille Paglia, Sexual Personae (1991) | Chapter 1. “Sex and Violence, or Nature and Art”. Maximum Asher Lev.

The strength of New Criticism was that it was formulated by poets, men of cultivation and sensibility and - something conveniently forgotten today - broad mastery of the classics and literary history, including the Bible.
