Right now I'm reading a book called "Goodbye Tsugumi" by Banana Yoshimoto. This next part is one of the best things I've read in a long time. It's just really, really good. Really.
"...we were all struggling to conceal the murky snarl of emotions that must actually have slept deep inside each one of us. Life is a performance, I thought. Perhaps the word "illusion" would have meant more or less the same thing, but to me "performance" seemed closer to the truth. Standing there in the midst of the crowd that evening, I felt this realization swirl dizzily through my body in a dazzling splendor of light, if only for an instant."
and the next part of it is what i've always thought about but never put into words...
"Each one of us continues to carry the heart of each self we've ever been, at every stage along the way, and a chaos of everything good and rotten. And we have to carry this weight all alone, through each day that we live. We try to be as nice as we can to the people we love, but we alone support the weight of ourselves."
That's all.
Love, Jennifer
