When Sylvia Plath wrote "I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited."
Do you ever just stop in the middle of the day… and think about how could this sentence have ended?
And I would like to spend… my eternity with you? And finally stop pretending? Living together in a place that's ours? Without heaven or hell, not an angel and a demon, but just us?
Heaven must smell like
Lemons & clean sheets, today
My heaven's at home

“Two things to remember in life: Take care of your thoughts when you are alone, and take care of your words when you are with people.”
— Zig Ziglar
Daily reminder that we do not actually live in a dystopian movie put the apocalypse down and back away slowly. You know when your cleaning a room and you pull everything out of it's draws to sort through it and you're like "what the fuck have I done I'm never going to be able to tidy all of this" I think that's the stage we're at in the world. Thanks to social media we've pulled out all the messed up shit from the cupboards of the world, it was always there but now we can see it and we're going to have to sort it all out we made this mess and we can fix it. Falling to the floor sobbing will not clean a crusty room. A group of people working systematically (preferably with music in the background) will.
“Please be patient with me. Sometimes when I’m quiet it’s because I need to figure myself out. It’s not because I don’t want to talk. Sometimes there are no words for my thoughts.”
— Kamla Bolanos
“My alone feels so good. I’ll only have you if you’re sweeter than my solitude.”
— Warsan Shire
