“Vanish.
Pass into nothingness: the Keats line that frightened her.
Fade as the blue nights fade, go as the brightness goes.
Go back into the blue.
I myself placed her ashes in the wall.
I myself saw the cathedral doors locked at six.
I know what it is I am now experiencing.
I know what the frailty is, I know what the fear is.
The fear is not for what is lost.
What is lost is already in the wall.
What is lost is already behind the locked doors.
The fear is for what is still to be lost.
You may see nothing still to be lost.
Yet there is no day in her life on which I do not see her.”

—Joan Didion, Blue Nights

Charlyne Yi: What is true love?

Little girl: Love is when you love each other so much, like us girls love Chris Brown.

I'm sorry for this but

for your enjoyment:

"My goal is to not wake up at forty with the bitter realization that I’ve wasted my life in a job I hate because I was forced to decide on a career in my teens." —Daria




I've read both these books this summer and they were very interesting.

My body is pulsing in strange places today like my shoulder and the small of my back. Nothing else is new. I hope you like this song.
