“I’d like to go quietly mad,”
— Vladislav Khodasevich, tr. by Michael Frayn, Twentieth Century Russian Poetry, from “Ballad,”
“What I regret most in my life are failures of kindness. Those moments when another human being was there, in front of me, suffering and I responded… sensibly. Reservedly. Mildly.”
— George Saunders, Congratulations, by the way (via quotespile)
It’s weird to grow up in a family where you know you’re loved but you don’t feel loved. And then later in adulthood you understand how almost impossible it seems to cross that distance and let yourself experience closeness, how otherworldly love feels now and how love feels unbearable at times. You flinch when someone tries to wholeheartedly love you. And over and over you see so clearly how you cannot be loved unless it's from afar and love is mixed with that familiar sensation of distance and coldness.
I wanna see how many of you actually reblog this.

“August 2nd. Something wants to be said but the words don’t agree.”
— Tomas Tranströmer, from “Baltics”, The Great Enigma: New Collected Poems (trans. Robin Fulton)
uk those books you read because they have a certain atmosphere.
Well, my favourite type of books have this one.
Usually something or someplace abandoned, decaying and the atmosphere indicates something is wrong, but you can't place it quite yet.
while reading through such stories, you feel a shiver run down your spine, not the ghost jumpscare kind. The sad, loneliness that haunts something or someone or someplace.
For some reason you picture the colour dark green, the rotten mossy kind, the damp forest floor kind or a blue, a blue so inky and dark, it almost feels like night, almost.
It's cold to the bone, it either rains too much or snows a lot. Secrets are unearthed or buried with it and you just can't wait for more.
thanks for the tag ♡
