I was always ashamed to take. So I gave. It was not a virtue. It was a disguise.

I had a sense of preparation for a love to come. Like the extension of canopies, the unrolling of ceremonial carpets, as if I must first create a marvelous world in which to house it, in which to receive adequately this guest of honor.

Quote from Mirages: The Unexpurgated Diary of Anais Nin // Lucerys Velaryon and Aemond Targaryen

[petaltexturedskies]

I sometimes envy the disposition of people who can sit and enjoy every enjoyable moment of life without concern for others or for the future or the past. Their minds rest, but mine never does. I am always grieving, hoping, pitying, wondering, reasoning, and there are moments when I feel so, so tired.

"I feel the need to swing away from constant explanations. I want to run away from too much consciousness, too much awareness. At night, I seek dancing, friendships, nature, forgetfulness, music, or sleep."
