Read books. Care about things. Get excited. Try not to be too down on yourself. Enjoy the ever present game of knowing.

“I’m not sure which is worse: intense feeling, or the absence of it.”

Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin (via perfect)

“There is something demoralizing about watching two people get more and more crazy about each other, especially when you are the only extra person in the room. It’s like watching Paris from an express caboose heading in the opposite direction — every second the city gets smaller and smaller, only you feel it’s really you getting smaller and smaller and lonelier and lonelier, rushing away from all those lights and excitement at about a million miles an hour.”

Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar (x)
