October, Louise Glück

things that are scary that you just have to get over at some point

being wrong (as distinct from)

other people having different opinions from you (as distinct from)

minor disagreements

the eternal uncertainty caused by living in a universe where luck exists (e.g. Just Anything could happen to you for no reason)

.

i've had this list open for so long but i can't think of anything else

i sorta feel like most other fears are kind of fine to have

oh like spiders i guess

—Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays

GIRL NO YOU’RE MOURNING SOMETHING THAT HASN’T EVEN HAPPENED YET AGAIN!!!!!!

If this pops up while you’re scrolling, I wish you unconditional love and massive success.

Rosario Castellanos, tr. by Julian Palley, from Meditation on the Threshold: A Bilingual Anthology of Poetry; “Kinsey report”

“Please stop destroying what is left of your heart by constantly thinking about things that have broken you.”

having to come to terms with the fact that love is not an everlasting performance in which you attempt to retain the attention of your significant other but rather a release of control and putting faith into them and trusting them to choose to stay with you no matter what you have to offer
