And in the twilight I had laid upon the grass, beneath the zenith,

  And in the twilight I had laid upon the grass, beneath
  the zenith, and extended my hand, reaching towards that great
  unknown where stars sleep and planets sigh.

I like to think about how we have breathed in the same air, and suddenly life loses all meaning and everything that has ever mattered narrows down to you.
Imagine if all you ever wanted was attainable. You walk into a store and a cluster of acne ridden teenagers stalk a aisle marked desires. Shelves upon shelves hold compact white cans, all with discreet labels reading off things like "beauty" and "self-acceptance". "Talent" is in high demand. And then one day, whilst reading the newspaper, you notice a story about a girl - a mere seventeen years old - who had overdosed on beauty. Her name was Catherine. and she had died in her bedroom, surrounded by a city of confidence and charisma. You read that only beauty was found in her bloodstream, and then you think about what a beautiful corpse she will be. Imagine if everything you ever wanted was attainable, and then it ended up killing you.

a lot of my life has been realizing that i would cross oceans for people who wouldn't jump puddles for me
isn't it ironic how we kill flowers because we think that they are beautiful but we kill ourselves because we think we're not.
☺ I love that moment. When you’re on a long car ride, or listening to music, or reading. And you completely zone out. You forget your troubles, and everyone around you. You’re focused on that one thing, and that one thing only. You’re content, and everything seems peaceful.
