“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 what do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life. And I am horribly limited.”
—Sylvia Plath (via paris2london)

“I just want someone who wants to hang out all the time and thinks I’m the best person in the world and wants to have sex with only me. And it makes me feel very stupid to tell you this, because it makes me sound like a girl who wants to go to brunch, and I really don’t wanna go to brunch, and I don’t want you to sit on the couch while I shop, or even meet my friends. I don’t even want that, okay? But I also don’t want to share a sex partner with a girl who seems to have asked for a picture of your dick. And also, I don’t want a picture of your dick because I live very near you, so if you wanted me to look at your dick, I could just come over and look at your dick! And I don’t really see you hearing me and I don’t really see you changing, so … I just summed it up. And I’m sorry that I didn’t figure it out sooner and you must think I am even stupider than you thought I was already. But consider it a testament to your charms, because you might not know this, but you are very, very charming. And I really care about you. And I don’t want to anymore, because it feels too shitty for me. So I’m gonna leave.”
—Hannah, Girls (via motels)

The Rural Alberta Advantage
In The Summertime The Rural Alberta Advantage
And when we’re middle aged,
You tell me I loved you like a renegade
And how I say the things that make you sway.
And mostly I tell you you did the same.

“The acquisition of knowledge doesn’t mean you’re growing. Growing happens when what you know changes how you live. Most people live in a complete daze. Actually, they don’t LIVE. They just ‘get by’ because they never take the necessary action to make things happen – to seek their dreams.”

“I cultivate my own joy and well-being, for the sake of becoming something worthy of sharing with others.”
