Clarice Lispector, from “Miss Algrave”, Soulstorm: Stories (tr. Alexis Levitin)
“I’m difficult.”
—
I think this is something I’m going to struggle with for the rest of my life
- Brokenness
It’s never too late.
“Have you ever tried to have a good time or just tried to distract yourself but then suddenly you feel the sadness in your chest coming back and every second it gets heavier and even if you try to hold it back but you never win. So you‘re just there feeling how you slowly get empty again. This makes me want to appreciate those little moment of happiness no matter how long they last because sadness is always ready to take it away.”
— The Poetic Boy
“I get way too sensitive when I get attached to someone. I can detect the slightest changed in the tone of their voice, and suddenly I’m spending all day trying to figure out what I did wrong.”
— Brandon Stanton (via perrfectly)
