“Anyway, I say all of this now and I’ll probably be googling Sylvia Plath quotes...”
– What You Have To Do In Order To Be Truly Happy by Ryan O’Connell. This piece really captures my sometimes-struggles with blue moods. I just enjoy somber music and snow-reflected blue lighting and sad poetry too much sometimes and I forget that actually nothing is wrong at all.
“We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by...”
– Charlie Chaplin. (via ruineshumaines)

“Go out and do something. It isn’t your room that’s a prison, it’s yourself.”
– Sylvia Plath (via setyourcompass)
reminders for restless boredom.
