Um No Offense But Whom'st’ve Going To Loveth Me

In every life there are events that reshape one’s sense of existence. Afterward, all is different and the past is dimmed.

Annie Proulx, Barkskins (via quotespile)

“Boredom is different nowadays. It’s about super-saturation, distraction, restlessness. I am often bored but it’s not for lack of options: a thousand TV channels, the bounty of Netflix, countless net radio stations, innumerable unlistened-to albums, unwatched DVDs and unread books, the maze-like archive of YouTube. Today’s boredom is not hungry, a response to deprivation; it is a loss of cultural appetite, in response to the surfeit of claims on your attention and time.”

— Simon Reynolds, Retromania: Pop Culture’s Addiction to Its Own Past

Not to be furiously antimodern but like. Existence has meaning

Why do i get so flustered around cute boys? It’s like i forget that all men are beneath me

both off and on it looks adorable ღ

I am eternally, devastatingly romantic, and I thought people would see it because “romantic” doesn’t mean “sugary”. It’s dark and tormented — the furor of passion, the despair of an idealism that you can’t attain.

‘I think I’ll be an old maid until I die. I’ll probably sit around with cats for the rest of my life. Whatever happens, I certainly won’t start to drink. But I do have what you call entrenched habits, and I’m not going to change them.’ Edith Bouvier Beale ..
