Cinderella by Sylvia Plath

The prince leans to the girl in scarlet heels,
Her green eyes slant, hair flaring in a fan
Of silver as the rondo slows; now reels
Begin on tilted violins to span

The whole revolving tall glass palace hall
Where guests slide gliding into light like wine;
Rose candles flicker on the lilac wall
Reflecting in a million flagons’ shine,

And glided couples all in whirling trance
Follow holiday revel begun long since,
Until near twelve the strange girl all at once
Guilt-stricken halts, pales, clings to the prince

As amid the hectic music and cocktail talk
She hears the caustic ticking of the clock.

"The principle aim of psychotherapy is not to transport one to an impossible state of happiness, but to help (the client) acquire steadfastness and patience in the face of suffering. "

"Life’s not a bitch
Life is a beautiful woman"

its funny/annoying when people i havent talked to in a while ask me if im “still smoking weed” like its some sort of phase im going through or something

like ive ever taken a break lol

"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds."

i wish people were still interesting to me

sometimes i think that being a psychology major has really fucked all that up. the irony lies in how my motivation to study psychology was based on my interest in people. wtf mang.

predictability via science = occasional blowerr

if you love something let it go blahblahblah

i guess i can see how this happened if i try hard enough. the exact times i showed up with an air of strength or independence, displaying some abstract penchant for having everything under control. i didnt know that was going to push you so far away. didnt realize you would see a certain side of me and believe that was all there was. thought i had shown you enough for you to know that there was still so fucking much we dont know about each other. i didnt realize all this time you’ve been taking shy and worried steps back and now i can’t find you. why do you feel like you have to be needed to stick around? that is the truth; i dont need you.

(im not gonna beg you but i would prefer that you stay) stay anyway.

yousayno:

If only someone could come up to me and tell me exactly how things should work. They could lay out charts and graphs and step by step directions on which decisions lead where. I could carefully study and reread and ask them every question I want. They’d know the answer. Then I could finally make the right decision just for once in my life.

probably would get boring

and all you would really learn is that you dont know anything on your own

imo
