“People say to me, ‘Aren’t you afraid of becoming a sex object?’ Especially a lot of writers are obsessed with making you feel guilty or upset because you might become a sex object. Well, I find that very exciting.”
Patti Smith
People in France have a phrase: “Spirit of the Stairway.” In French: Esprit de l’escalier. It means that moment when you find the answer, but it’s too late. Say you’re at a party and someone insults you. You have to say something. So under pressure, with everybody watching, you say something lame. But the moment you leave the party…
As you start down the stairway, then — magic. You come up with the perfect thing you should’ve said. The perfect crippling put-down.
That’s the Spirit of the Stairway.
The trouble is even the French don’t have a phrase for the stupid things you actually do say under pressure. Those stupid, desperate things you actually think or do.

y luego vuelvo a pensar en
la botella que dejamos a medias mientras
nos completábamos las frases
y torpemente tratábamos
de bailar una canción de los black keys
(via uvbitchrays)
hay días en los que me levanto
un poco más tranquila.
como quién se olvido la cosa,
como quien lo supera.
a veces cuando me drogo llego a pensar
que si no escucho a Charly y evito a Fresán
no será tan difícil no volverte a ver.
