there are
always two ways you can react to things.
there’s only up from here
some of the hardest lessons
are the ones you learn the most from.
"God, but life is loneliness, despite all the opiates, despite the shrill tinsel gaiety of “parties” with no purpose, despite the false grinning faces we all wear. And when at last you find someone to whom you feel you can pour out your soul, you stop in shock at the words you utter - they are so rusty, so ugly, so meaningless and feeble from being kept in the small cramped dark inside you so long. Yes, there is joy, fulfillment and companionship - but the loneliness of the soul in its appalling self-consciousness is horrible and overpowering."
— - Sylvia Plath
"Go to work, send your kids to school, follow fashion, act normal, walk on the pavement, watch TV, save for your old age, obey the law, repeat after me: I am free."
"People have a habit of inventing fictions they will believe wholeheartedly in order to ignore the truth they cannot accept."
— —The Sweet Far Thing, Libba Bray
