All my grief says the same thing— this isn't how it's supposed to be. And the world laughs, holds my hope by my throat, says: but this is how it is.

“Talk nonsense, but talk your own nonsense, and I’ll kiss you for it. To go wrong in one’s own way is better than to go right in some one else’s. In the first case you are a man, in the second you’re no better than a bird.”
—Fyodor Dostoevsky Crime and Punishment
Alejandra Pizarnik, tr. by Yvette Siegert, from “Primitive Eyes”, Extracting the Stone of Madness: Poems 1962 - 1972
Anne Carson, from "Book Of Isaiah", Glass, Irony and God
folklore is such a bargain. it’s just what if what if what if what if just over and over and over. what if you had stayed? what if i had given you more of me? what if that was enough? what if i had left sooner? what if i had stayed? what if i hadn’t known? what if i never met you? what if i loved you? what if it all turned out okay?
Bitches be like “the way this book radiates comfort 🥺🥺🥺☺️☺️☺️” and then it turns out the book in question is a novel written by Dostoevsky
