“I died to live,”
— Philip, tr. by Edwin Morgan, from The Greek Anthology; “Epigrams,”
My goal in life is to occupy an abandoned castle in the European countryside, keep a giant rose garden, only wear long flowing dresses, and become local folklore
i hate that i’m so absent as a person. i don’t start conversations. i can barely maintain them. i’m so weary and spaced out all the time to the point where i can’t even keep up small talk and i’m just so disappointed in myself
I’m that girl in period dramas who when she leaves the room, other woman sigh and whisper “she needs a husband”
“I can give you my loneliness, my darkness, the hunger of my heart;”
