lana,
my dear, don’t weep because the world is unkind. it always will be.
men will break out hearts or tie our brains into knots, not out of wit (oh, no, they have none of that), but out of their simplicity-and that’s all okay because we’re women and we strive for more. we strive for that moment- that one short-lasting, forever unique, snowflake of a moment.

the sad part about it all is that the only thing that i can recall is the taste of blood.

the girl in the candy cupboard
there is a very small girl that lives in the candy cupboard and she hides behind sweets and treats.
the girl eats rosebuds and feathers and pastries because you are what you eat and she just wants to be precious.
At night, she cracks open the cupboard door and she wafts the scent of the moonlight and it smells like comfort and that’s all that she needs-if only for a little while.

(…Anna Pavlova was told that she had pneumonia and required an operation. She was also told that she would never be able to dance again if she went ahead with it. She refused to have the surgery, saying “If I can’t dance then I’d rather be dead.” She died three weeks short of her 50th birthday.

i worked for seven hours today, which sucked, but then spence came into town and we drove around town blasting bob dylan and went on a walk downtown by the christmas lights so everything is nice now.
and if you’re ever really really overwhelmed by everything, i highly recommend bob dylan and christmas lights and walking.

the black art
A woman who writes feels too much, those trances and portents! As if cycles and children and islands weren’t enough; as if mourners and gossips and vegetables were never enough. She thinks she can warn the stars. A writer is essentially a spy. Dear love, I am that girl. A man who writes knows too much, such spells and fetiches! As if erections and congresses and products weren’t...

The boy was rather peculiar, he was the kind of boy that liked to watch stars quiver. He quivered himself. The insides of his body ached with foreign emotions that he could not explain to anyone.
He was pathetic fallacy. He was the ever-changing weather. He devoted himself to kissing the moon goodbye every morning and singing lullabies to the sun every evening. It was no secret that the boy was...
