“Where you come from is gone, where you thought you were going to was never there, and where you are is no good unless you can get away from it. Where is there a place for you to be? No place… Nothing outside you can give you any place… In yourself right now is all the place you’ve got.”

— Flannery O'Connor, Wise Blood

I kept thinking about the uneven quality of time—the way it was almost always so empty, and then with no warning came a few days that felt so dense and alive and real that it seemed indisputable that that was what life was, that its real nature had finally been revealed. But then time passed and unthinkably grew dead again, and it turned out that that fullness had been an aberration and might never come back.

“I’m wearing a Burberry trench, vintage Dr Martens and my grandfather’s cashmere sweater and my grandmother’s cashmere scarf. My style is usually inspired by a mix of film characters I like and window shopping!”
