“ Language… has created the word “loneliness” to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word “solitude” to express the glory of being alone. ”
"But anyhow, what can a decent man speak about with the most pleasure?
Answer: about himself.
So then I, too, will speak about myself."
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Notes from Underground
I read, I eat, I drink, I love, I sing, I watch, I listen, I discuss, I argue, I scent, I observe, I wear, I shop, I travel, I indulge, I am inspired, I am loved... most of the time in excess.
Because you only live once, and the way I live, once is enough.
