"What the heart speaks, the mind rarely comprehends."

Aye. Aye.

Sex, relaxation and tension

Men and women whisper to each other because they have turned a sacred gesture into a sinful act.

This is the world in which we live. And while robbing the present moment of its reality can be dangerous, disobedience can also be a virtue, when we know how to use it.

If two bodies merely join together, that is not sex, it is merely pleasure.
Sex goes far beyond pleasure.

In sex, relaxation and tension go hand in hand, as do pain and pleasure, shyness and the courage to go beyond one’s limits.

How can such opposing states exist in harmony together? There is only one way: by surrendering yourself.
Because the act of surrender means: ‘I trust you.’

It isn’t enough to imagine everything that might happen if we allowed ourselves to join not just our bodies, but our souls as well.

Let us plunge together, then, down the dangerous path of surrender.
It may be dangerous, but it is the only path worth following.

Let us forget all that we are taught about how it is noble to give and humiliating to receive.
Because for most people, generosity consists only in giving, but receiving is also an act of love.

Allowing someone else to make us happy will make them happy too.

Tomorrow is your birthday

And part of me feels sorry for you

For you to have a boyfriend 

who hasn't prepared anything for you

who doesn't feel like celebrating it for you

who doesn't feel like making you feel happy tomorrow

who doesn't even know what the hell he is doing with you

If I said I still care about you, 

what would you do?

If I said I am getting very tired of all these mixed emotions that arise at the sound of your name,

what would you do?

If I said I would rather forget you completely, but can't,

What would you do?
