Remember, remember, this is now, and now, and now. Live it, feel it, cling to it. I want to become acutely aware of all Iโve taken for granted.
Sylvia PlathPlease donโt expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.
Sylvia PlathI wondered why I couldn't go the whole way doing what I should any more. This made me sad and tired. Then I wondered why I couldn't go the whole way doing what I shouldn't, the way Doreen did, and this made me even sadder and more tired.
Sylvia PlathI lay and cried, and began to feel again, to admit I was human, vulnerable, sensitive. I began to remember how it had been before; how there was that germ of positive creativeness. Character is fate; and damn, I'd better work on my character. I had been withdrawing into a retreat of numbness: it is so much safer to NOT feel, NOT to let the world touch one.
