Alone -- Edgar Allen Poe →
outofstillness:
From childhood’s hour I have not been As others were; I have not seen As others saw; I could not bring My passions from a common spring. From the same source I have not taken My sorrow; I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone; And all I loved, I loved alone. Then- in my childhood, in the dawn Of a most stormy life- was drawn From every depth of good and ill The...

You never really know what you’ve said until you say it out loud, until it gets out there and lingers in the air for a moment and then all the small meanings and thoughts associated with it start to latch on and cling on to it until it becomes a whole finite detached being of bitterness and resentment. And you really don’t know what you’ve just created. That is the deceit of words, it’s...

I live this delusion that we’re all immortal somehow, that we live on in the ripples we leave in others’ lives and on the world.

Long Distance Relationships
gracelynnkim:
Contrary to what people say, distance is not for the fearful, it’s for the bold. It’s for those who are willing to spend a lot of time alone in exchange for a little time with the one they love. It’s for those knowing a good thing when they see it, even if they don’t see it nearly enough.
Beautiful.

Exquisite had always been her favorite word,... →
Exquisite had always been her favorite word, starting with the first day she learned its meaning. She had been small and close to the ground, looking up at the giants of the world. Father always looked at Mother one way and she looked at him the other. He called her “ekwiddit” or something that sounded like that. She’d look at Mother for a response that gave clues for what “ekwiddit” meant but...

The Land of Notrust
Welcome to the land of Notrust. Here at Notrust, we do not trust anyone. All terms are relative. The term ‘best friend’ defines the person who knows you the best but even they will never know who you really are. No wife trusts her husband and no husband trusts his wife. Therefore every 5 years, we exchange spouses. You’ll find that this process is very efficient and...

- Eleanor Roosevelt.
Two hours, I spent with you. Just two, short hours.
And yet, after just two hours in your company, I felt nauseous. Poisoned.
It made me so terribly sad.
You have so much hate. So much anger. So much groundless rage.
You reduced other people to dirt. You reduced them to nothingness.
All of their likes, loves, dislikes, passions, weaknesses, strengths,
became irrelevant;...
