“I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape—the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn’t show.”
— Andrew Wyeth

I romanticize things for myself because I live in a world that I don’t believe in. And I need to inject it into my life as a structure to hold onto, and as a distraction. From the burden of existence; the terrible boredom of depression and lethargy. Not having role models. Being too cynical to accept role models. But more importantly, not being good enough to be my own role model. So why not make the stories of other people more interesting?
Maybe by affecting other people, I can bring some of that flavor back into my own life. Or at the very least give me an opportunity to be an optimist about something, anything, even something fabricated because hope itself is always real and it is no concern of mine as to how I must invoke it.

“Tonight the landscape is fired by moonlight and I am thinking of you somehow.”

I’ve loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
Galileo Galilei

It was one of those sumptuous days when the world is full of autumn muskiness and tangy, crisp perfection: vivid blue sky, deep green fields, leaves in a thousand luminous hues. It is a truly astounding sight when every tree in a landscape becomes individual, when each winding back highway and plump hillside is suddenly and infinitely splashed with every sharp shade that nature can bestow - flaming scarlet, lustrous gold, throbbing vermilion, fiery orange.
Bill Bryson (via pagewoman)
Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own.

“Find someone who has the life that you want and figure how they got it. Read books. Pick your role models wisely. Find out what they did and do it.”

“You could have 10 decades, 10 years, or 10 days to live; if one does not learn to recognize the beauty of a single moment, then none of it matters.”

“Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.”
— C. G. Jung, from “Memories, Dreams, Reflections”
If you could have a conversation with yourself as a seperate entity, what would you converse about? But also, how many other people would be there? How many past and present selves would there be to speak to?
