#love and loneliness

[in-tenebris-et-in-solitudine]

You bring good to my lonely life, honestly, It's hard for me to look into your eyes, When I say that I would be nothing without your love, I feel the rush, and it's amazing.

[fuckstoevsky]

"When you're surrounded by all these people, it can be even lonelier than when you're by yourself." In a crowd, the void sometimes feels more profound.

Every heartbeat whispered the same plea: "Don't leave me alone in this vastness."

"I wish, as well as everybody else, to be perfectly happy; but, like everybody else, it must be in my own way."

To feel deeply is both a curse and a gift; it means to experience the heights of joy and the depths of pain.

"Perhaps that’s what all human relationships boil down to: Would you save my life? or would you take it?"

Still, there is this terrible desire to be loved. Still, there is this horror at being left behind.

diana wynne jones, from "howl's moving castle" / jane austen, from "sense and sensibility" / toni morrison, from "god help the child" / hannah harrington, from "saving june"

Un amore moderno, un amore fatto di pieni e vuoti, picchi e burroni.

Un amore che redime il cemento ma solo effimeramente. Un amore che fatica nel tempo.

Avete mai esperito un amore neo liberale?

I did my best to be lovable.

[metamorphesque]

Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible. 

Carl Jung, “Memories, Dreams, Reflections”

I am constantly trying to communicate something incommunicable, to explain something inexplicable, to tell about something I only feel in my bones and which can only be experienced in those bones. 

Franz Kafka, “Letters to Milena”
