our whole lives, everyone’s telling us we can’t do this, we can’t do that. i’m just sick and tired of feeling so small.

You probably think this world is a dream come true… but you’re wrong.

“As far as words go, ‘crying’ is louder and 'weeping’ is wetter. When people explain the difference between the two to English-language learners they say that weeping is more formal, can sound archaic in everyday speech. You can hear this in their past tenses—the plainness of 'cried’, the velvet cloak of 'wept’. I remember arguing once with a teacher who insisted 'dreamt’ was incorrect, dreamed the only proper option. She was wrong, of course, in both philological and moral ways, and ever since I’ve felt a peculiar attachment to the t’s of the past: weep, wept, sleep, slept, leave, left. There’s a finality there, a quiet completion, of which ’d’ has never dreamt.”

— Heather Christle, from The Crying Book

sometimes you see discourse ™ so mindbogglingly dumb you just have to be like, that’s the kids talking. that’s the same as when two toddlers are having an intense conversation and it’s totally detached from reality but they’re very serious about it. that’s not for me that’s for the kids

“I wonder which is preferable, to walk around all your life swollen up with your own secrets until you burst from the pressure of them, or to have them sucked out of you, every paragraph, every sentence, every word of them, so at the end you’re depleted of all that was once as precious to you as hoarded gold, as close to you as your skin - everything that was of the deepest importance to you, everything that made you cringe and wish to conceal, everything that belonged to you alone - and must spend the rest of your days like an empty sack flapping in the wind, an empty sack branded with a bright fluorescent label so that everyone will know what sort of secrets used to be inside you?”

— Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin (via theliteraryjournals)

“That night in the school, I felt utterly weak. Like I needed someone to come in and rescue me. I hate that feeling! I want to feel stronger than that … I want to feel powerful”

do u ever see a picture and get a momentary glimpse of a life u’d like to have but it’s too ethereal of a feeling so it just dissipates and ur left with a vague sense of loss over something u never really had to begin with…anyways
