“And when at last you find someone to whom you feel you can pour out your soul, you stop in shock at the words you utter— they are so rusty, so ugly, so meaningless and feeble from being kept in the small cramped dark inside you so long.”
—Sylvia Plath (via thechocolatebrigade)
“Cautiously, I allowed myself to feel good at times. I found moments of peace in cheap rooms just staring at the knobs of some dresser or listening to the rain in the dark. The less I needed, the better I felt.”

“One New York afternoon, when he came home from work, he found her sitting on the edge of the bed in that small room, staring at the pictures of herself on the opposite wall. She didn’t move as he kissed the top of her head. He said nothing, simply slipped out of his clothes and lay down on the bed, pressing his face against her back. He did not want to trespass on her secrets. He simply wanted to extinguish the carnivals burning in her head.”

“That’s why you often hear coaches talking about “putting the ego away” when heading out on a training run. Forget anyone else around you; forget the guy ahead that your subconscious is urging you to catch and overtake; forget the chick who just breezed past you. May be he’s doing a tempo run; maybe she’s mid-way through a speed interval. Who knows? Who cares?! If your program says it’s a slow run day, then that’s what you NEED to do!”

“Slow down and enjoy life. It’s not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.”
