"i lived shyly, in agony, like a ghost..."
About me
hyper-sensitiva
This is a place for self-analysis, which sometimes turns into griping and self-loathing exploits, but I do my best to keep it clean. Mostly it comprises of the random thoughts of the day and has the ulterior purpose of being the desperately needed place for rhetoric practice.
"Some films have made me doze off in the theater, but the same films have made me stay up at night, wake up thinking about them in the morning, and keep on thinking about them for weeks. Those are the kind of films I like." Kiarostami

“I do not fear to be alone or to be spurned for another or to leave whatever I have to leave. And I am not afraid to make a mistake, even a great mistake, a lifelong mistake, and perhaps as long as eternity too.” SD/JJ

Now that's deep. It's like... The tall person who feels forced to play basketball because everyone around him would think that he is a fool, otherwise. He isn't living up to his potential... The burden of being brilliant... That's your only problem............... The gift and the curse.
