crazy like that

“I don’t want to be so sad. I read that you should think of your emotions like everyday objects. I tried it out with a ballpoint pen. I held it, and I pretended that it was my sadness. I rolled it back and forth on my palm. See, it moves! I dropped it. See, it’s just a thing I can drop! But I still felt sad afterward.”

— — Sylvie Baumgartel, from Song of Songs: A Poem

The Tree of Life (2011)

Dir. Terrence Malick / DP: Emmanuel Lubezki

[electraheart2012]

Growing up feels like your skin no longer fits. Like you just want to crawl out of that thinly stretched space and lay down in the grass and sob for hours. Instead, I am in a cafe eating lunch and trying not to scream. Looking around wondering if anyone else in this building is doing the same thing, wondering if they ever have and, if so, how they got through it. Maybe I would calm down if I just had the assurance that other people have looked in the mirror and no longer recognized themselves.

— Kalyn RoseAnne Livernois, from Ten True Things

CONSPIRATOR (1949)

[lovingsylvia]

“That’s one of the reasons I never wanted to get married. The last thing I wanted was infinite security and to be the place an arrow shoots off from. I wanted change and excitement and to shoot off in all directions myself, like the colored arrows from a Fourth of July rocket.”

— The Bell Jar, Chapter Seven, 1963
