You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet, still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
― Franz Kafka

- Emily Dickinson
It is curious how sometimes the memory of death lives on for so much longer than the memory of the life that it purloined.
- Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things
If the moon smiled, she would resemble you. You leave the same impression of something beautiful, but annihilating.
- Sylvia Plath, Ariel: The Restored Edition
‘Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?’

how shall i hold back my soul from touching yours?

you become what you surround yourself with. energies are contagious. your environment will become you.
i’m terrified that even if i try my hardest i still won’t be good enough
i feel like i’m constantly worrying about the next part of my life without realising i’m right in the middle of what i used to look forward to
we accept the love we think we deserve
