“I had to de-program myself. From myself. Had to reinvent rituals of purification. So full of the vagrant pollutions of others. It was time to detox. Not only from alcohol, sex, and drugs, but from needy leeches who looked to swab me with their sores. Detox from my own needy lechery. Had to locate the center wound and cauterize. Undo the original sin, the origin of my sickness...Had to learn to replace Them, It, Want, Hurt, Anger, Sorrow, Loss, with Power, Healing, Wisdom, Fulfillment, Satisfaction.” WantSexHurtMy OwnLossSinHealingSorrowDrugProgramOriginalsSatisfactionAlcoholWoundsFulfillmentSicknessRitualPollutionNeedyOriginal SinPurificationVagrantsLeechesLechery Author:Lydia Lunch
“You can accept or reject the way you are treated by other people, but until you heal the wounds of your past, you will continue to bleed. You can bandage the bleeding with food, with alcohol, with drugs, with work, with cigarettes, with sex, but eventually, it will all ooze through and stain your life. You must find the strength to open the wounds, stick your hands inside, pull out the core of the pain that is holding you in your past, the memories, and make peace with them.” PeopleWayHandsPainPastSexMemoriesHealingAcceptingDrugSticksAlcoholWoundsCoreHealTreatedRejectsHuman ConditionCigaretteOur PastYour PastBleedingStainsMaking PeaceBandagesOld Wounds Author:Iyanla Vanzant
