It Seemed To Me That I Had Dreamt About Her Once, When I Was A Boy Or A Teenager: A Dream With The Scent

Carol Ann Duffy, from "December"; Rapture

being human is terrifying

“I took comfort in the illusion that I could go back [to my hometown]. But I’d been around long enough to know history is sealed and unchangeable. You can move on, with a heart stronger in the places it’s been broken, create new love. You can hammer pain and trauma into a righteous sword and use it in defense of life, love, human grace and God’s blessing. But nobody gets a do-over. Nobody gets to go back and there’s only one road out. Ahead, into the dark.”

— Bruce Springsteen, Born to Run (via readingcities)

I want to go back to the beginning. We all do. I think: hurt won’t be there. But I’m wrong.
