— Sylvia Plath, from The Bell Jar

#I've always done this #I always will

Sharon Olds, Stag’s Leap

If I lived by the sea I would never be really sad. I get an immense sense of eternity and peace from the ocean. I can lose myself in staring at it hour after hour.

Sylvia Plath, The Letters of Sylvia Plath Volume I: 1940–1956 ⁠—  Aurelia Schober Plath, 18th July 1951

my family was just forced to vote at gunpoint in russian cosplay of a “referendum” in southern ukraine:

- they come to your house

- you have to openly tick the box for being annexed by russia (or for staying with ukraine if you feel suicidal)

- all while armed gunmen watch you

My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to find peace with exactly who and what I am. To take pride in my thoughts, my appearance, my talents, my flaws and to stop this incessant worrying that I can’t be loved as I am.
