I feel unspeakably lonely. And I feel - drained. It is a blank state of mind and soul I cannot describe to you as I think it would not make any difference. Also it is a very private feeling I have - that of melting into a perpetual nervous breakdown. I am often questioning myself what I further want to do, who I further wish to be; which parts of me, exactly, are still functioning properly. No answers, darling. At all.

Anne Sexton, A Self-Portrait In Letters (via wordsnquotes)

You will find that it is necessary to let things go; simply for the reason that they are heavy. So let them go, let go of them. I tie no weights to my ankles.

I want to be the person who eases you to sleep. I want to be consumed by the fire lanterns in your morning stare. I want to be the reason you wake up feeling rejuvenated

paradox of choice; good and evil are relative terms– one man’s sin is another’s virtue

is it any wonder harmony’s so hard to find, living in shades of gray when the world’s much simpler in black and white?
