It's that time of year when I read all of my favorite books. And of course I start with this one. 💔 (at the factory)
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)

when you’re 100 pages from the end of your book and you want to go to bed but it’s getting good so you’re all “one more chapter” then “okay one more chapter and then suddenly you’re 30 pages from the end and it’s like “shit son, might as well finish it”
“And of course she must improve her mind by extensive reading.”

I want you to feel empowered to explore those questions without worrying that there is some secret answer somewhere resting with the author. The author does not have the answer. The author, despite what our culture tells us, is not the powerful one. The reader is the powerful one. The author scratches some symbols onto a page. The reader makes it live.
