Sunday, January 22


Everybody, at some point in their lives, wakes up in the middle of the night with the feeling that they are all alone in the world, and that nobody loves them now and that nobody will ever love them, and that they will never have a decent night’s sleep again and will spend their lives wandering blearily around a loveless landscape, hoping desperately that their circumstances will improve, but suspecting, in their heart of hearts, that they will remain unloved forever. The best thing to do in these circumstances is to wake somebody else up, so that they can feel this way, too.

~ Lemony Snicket, Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Cant Avoid



Fuck no.


The best thing to do then is to embrace it. Learn to love that feeling, let it grow deeper and welcome the loneliness. Dont fool yourself into thinking it'll be better. It wont.

I would say embrace it, because the only one who chooses whether that loneliness destroys you or is replaced with the comfort of being on your own, is up to you.

Oh, it will get better, babe.
Life is too circular and she
will always offer a despair
interuptus [sp] just when
we need it.

Hang in Bella- you're too wonderful
and unique not too stick around
to write an addictive memoir.

Smooches.

'Learn to love that feeling'

Yes, I agree. When you feel despaired, thinking everything will get better won't help at all, just makes everything worse, when things don't get better. When you embrace your loneliness, your isolation, then you can truly feel better. I guess real happiness is to accept who you are and the way you are.
