I like drinking coffee alone and reading alone. I like riding the bus alone and walking home alone. It gives me time to think and set my mind free. I like eating alone and listening to music alone. But when I see a mother with her child, a girl with her lover, or a friend laughing with their best friend, I realize that even though I like being alone, I don’t fancy being lonely. The sky is beautiful, but the people are sad. I just need someone who won’t run away.

the idiot by fyodor dostoevsky. i’ve been reading it for a week now i guess,it’s hard to get into it because the book is too “talky” and the characters seem to be all over the place, which is so unlike the other russian authors i’ve read. this is the first book of dostoevsky that i’ve read and some people say that his other books are way better, so yeah, i’ll finish this one and then i’ll probably move to reading his other books when i’ve bought them.

misssugarbones:

just finished this book lastnight. It was pretty damn good.


… i think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us. if the book we are reading doesn’t wake us up with a blow on the head, what are we reading it for? …we need the books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. a book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us…

they say we leave this world just the way we came into it - naked and alone. so, if we do leave with nothing, what then, is a measure of life? is it defined by the people we choose to love? or is life simply measured by our accomplishments? and what if we fail? or are never truly loved? what then? can we ever measure up? or will the quiet desperation of a life gone wanting drive us mad?

Via My Thoughts and Fangirling

I act different around certain people.

It’s not because I’m fake. It’s because I have a different comfort zone around certain people. I’ll act loud, stupid, be mean to you, act crazy, and do the most stupidest things with you because I’m comfortable around you. But, I can be quiet and shy if I don’t know you that well or we aren’t very close. Just because I act different around certain people, doesn’t mean I’m fake. I just have a different comfort zone with certain people.
