God be in my head, and in my understanding; God be in mine eyes, and in my looking; God be in my mouth, and in my speaking; God be in my heart, and in my thinking; God be at mine end, and at my departing.

Sarum Primer

[antigonick]

You think you know yourself inside out when you live alone, but you don't, you believe you are a calm untroubled or at worst melancholic person, you do not realise how irritable you are, how any little thing, the wrong kind of touch or tone, a lack of speed in answering a question, a particular cast of expression will send you into apoplexy because you are unchill, because you have not learnt how to soften your borders, how to make room. You're selfish and rigid and absorbed, you're like an infant.

—Olivia Laing, Crudo

POST UPDATE 

the links on this post appear to have fried; i originally copied them directly from the miskatonic institute course page here (x) but i’ve haphazardly compiled them:

Last night I felt so triggered... barely sleep. Couldn't stop thinking about your words and wondering if you would have the guts to take action. But it doesn't matter anymore. I had.
