Pinned
I never tried to be anything other than a dreamer. I never paid any attention to people who told me to go out and live. I belonged always to whatever was far from me and to whatever I could never be. Anything that was not mine, however base, always seemed to be full of poetry. The only thing I ever loved was pure nothingness.-
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
Girl, aging girl, is haunted by own nothingness and devours views from windows (stories, movies, overheard talk and sights in the street, pictures in newspapers, etc.) with continuous feeling she is 'just about', miraculously, to come into her own life.
