“I love this place; I love mountains and big skies and forests. And the weather is still supremely beautiful even though the lower peaks are powdered with fresh snow. But Heavens! What sun. It never has an ending. I am basking at this minute - half past four - too hot without a hat, & the sky is that transparent blue only to be seen in autumn - the forest trees steeped in light.”
— Katherine Mansfield, from a letter to Sydney Waterlow, 4 November 1921 (via katherine-mansfield)

remain mysterious, she said. but what if i’d rather spill my guts? her eyes shifted to the curtains and watched the sun as it bleached the red to orange. then spill it, she slighted. but don’t come running to me when he’s fallen in love with the girl who won’t answer the phone.

1957 - Milo Greene

Your house that sits behind me is covered in ivy green
the windows that we watch from are old and chipping at the beam


It takes me away takes me away takes me away


the scent you wear moves in lines
from your apartment into mine
you act like you don't know me
my god you...

“You may think the past has something to tell you. You may think that you should listen, should strain to make out its whispers, should bend over backward, stop down low to hear its voice breathed up from the ground, from the dead places. You may think there’s something in it for you, something to understand or make sense of.
But I know the truth: I know from the nights of coldness. I know the past will drag you backward and down, have you snatching at whispers of wind and the gibberish of trees rubbing together, trying to decipher some code, trying to piece together what was broken. Its hopeless. The past is nothing but a weight. It will build up inside of you like a stone.
Take it from me, if you hear the past speaking to you, feel it tugging at your back and running its fingers up your spine, the best thing to do —the only thing— is run.”
— Lauren Oliver, Delirium (via quote-book)
