How funny that I called it love and the whole time it was pain.

Could I please request a webweave about complex feelings on being an only child?

unfortunately i couldn't find anything specifically related to being an only child but i am also an only child and i interpreted this as being really lonely so a lot of these are related to that. i hope this is what you were looking for <33

I am bettering myself, I thought. I'm going to become so smart that no one will understand me.

Siren Song

by Margaret Atwood

This is the one song everyone would like to learn: the song that is irresistible: the song that forces men to leap overboard in squadrons even though they see the beached skulls the song nobody knows because anyone who has heard it is dead, and the others can’t remember. Shall I tell you the secret and if I do, will you get me out of this bird suit? I don’t enjoy it here squatting on this island looking picturesque and mythical with these two feathery maniacs, I don’t enjoy singing this trio, fatal and valuable. I will tell the secret to you, to you, only to you. Come closer. This song is a cry for help: Help me! Only you, only you can, you are unique at last. Alas it is a boring song but it works every time.

“I had two longings and one was fighting the other. I wanted to be loved and I wanted to be always alone.” —Jean Rhys, Wide Sargasso Sea

“Alone. That’s the only way. [Alone]” — Virginia Woolf, The Complete Works of Virginia Woolf; Selected Diaries

“I? I walk alone;” —Sylvia Plath, Soliloquy of the Solipsist

“Now I know: I’m alone. I and my freedom that I don’t know how to use. Great responsibility of solitude. Whoever isn’t lost doesn’t know freedom and love it. As for me, I own up to my solitude that sometimes falls into ecstasy as before fireworks. I am alone and must live a certain intimate glory that in solitude can become pain. And the pain, silence.” —Clarice Lispector, Água Viva

“There are not two of us. Each of us is alone.” — Marguerite Duras, No More / C’est Tout
