“It's taboo to admit that you're lonely. You can make jokes about it, of course. You can tell people that you spend most of your time with Netflix or that you haven't left the house today and you might not even go outside tomorrow. But rarely do you ever tell people about the true depths of your loneliness, about how you feel more and more alienated from your friends each passing day and you're not sure how to fix it. It seems like everyone is just better at living than you are. A part of you knew this was going to happen. Growing up, you just had this feeling that you wouldn't transition well to adult life, that you'd fall right through the cracks. And look at you now, it's happening.”

oh i'm never gonna be ten years old on the first day of summer vacation again huh

My dear love, my priceless joy, you haven’t forgotten me, have you?

— Vladimir Nabokov, Letters to Véra

summer is for loneliness and eating fruit and warm rain at night

I am aching to become who I’m meant to be. I am beaming with desire. I am ready to treat myself as kindly as I deserve to be treated.

I can’t believe an angel like me has to suffer so much
