They will rarely ever show it, but deep down people always respect a gold digger. Even if it’s in a perverse, subconscious way, people will have respect for someone who set stringent high standards and refused to tolerate anyone who wouldn’t meet them. Most people who mock hypergamous women are just jealous they don’t have the discipline and self-respect to maintain those same standards in their own lives.

My Mother Drives Me in the Rain, 2000

Elinor Carucci

One day you think: I want to die. And then you think, very quietly, actually I want a coffee. I want a nap. A sandwich. A book. And I want to die turns day by day into I want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friends, I want to sit in the sun. I want a cleaner room, I want a better job, I want to live somewhere else, I want to live.

The soul is always calling for something the mind cannot yet understand.
