a quote for writers

[seXieleXie]

You're not..... or you are..... or you're two opposite things at once so that one says defiantly: write it all down..... and the other whispers secretively: don't..... but you write..... you keep writing..... you write from your heart..... you write from your empty pockets..... you write from you anger..... you write from your love..... you write from your sorrow..... you write from your healing place..... you write from the centre of your opposites..... and you make that a fragile home.

-Marusya Bociurkiw, The Woman Who Loved Airports

the .....'s should be white space but the board won't let me do that

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I'm schizophrenic
And so am I

Maybe I am retarded. That quote was both uplifting and confusing as hell. I think I need to get more sleep. Hmm...Thanks though!

interesting idea of how writers think.

Peace,
Tulip
