"I want to taste and glory in each day, and never be afraid to experience pain; and never shut myself up in a numb core of non-feeling, or stop questioning and criticising life and take the easy way out. To learn and think; to think and live; to live and learn; this always, with new insight, new understanding, new love."
~ Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath (6th Jan. 1953)

We must be moving, working, making dreams to run toward: the poverty of life without dreams is too horrible to imagine.

Deep down I feel I can never be myself, nor do I truly know who that self is, only that I believe she is inherently unloveable.

turning 17 isn't as bad as I thought it would be. maybe i thought it would feel more jarring, but life is just the same as it was yesterday and i'm sure it will be the same tomorrow.
for a while it felt as though i were holding my breath, waiting for the floodgates to fly open and sweep me away.
but it never happened.
and i breathed out my relief in a puff of mellow smoke.
- '17th birthday,' from my personal journal
