“She wanted to crawl into his pocket and be safe forever.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald
isn’t it ironic
how we kill
flowers
because we
think that
they are
beautiful
“Come with all your shame, come with your swollen heart, I’ve never seen anything more beautiful than you.”
—Warsan Shire
“You’ve felt it, haven’t you? Those feelings that seem to get so big in your chest, like something is so beautiful it aches?”
—Heather Anastasiu, Glitch
“
I stayed in bed for over an hour
looked at things on my phone
I felt slightly anxious about nothing particular
I walked downstairs and poured coffee into a jar
I asked a person on the internet if I should take drugs
I took drugs before the person had time to respond
I feel alienated by people who express concern about me without
defining their concern in terms of a specific solution or goal
I dont feel comforted by the idea of an afterlife
I dont want to continue experiencing things after I die
I want someone to pull my hair because I like the idea of someone
controlling my head without touching my head
what is the difference between being an independent person
and being a person who is accepting of loneliness
“I don’t want to be married just to be married. I can’t think of anything lonelier than spending the rest of my life with someone I can’t talk to, or worse, someone I can’t be silent with.”
—Mary Ann Shaffer
“I can’t exactly describe how I feel but it’s not quite right. And it leaves me cold.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Love of the Last Tycoon
