"My God I love to think of you, Virginia, as my friend. Don’t cry me an ardent creature or say, with your head a little on one side, smiling as though you knew some enchanting secret: ‘Well Katherine, we shall see’… But pray consider how rare it is to find some one with the same passion for writing that you have, who desires to be scrupulously truthful with you – and to give you the freedom of the city without any reserves at all."

Katherine Mansfield, in a letter to Virginia Woolf (via katherinemansfieldproject)

- I think I should be in love with any writer friend who sent me such a letter! -

Day 13- A letter to someone who has hurt you recently 

Oh, boy.

I’m not fine. I’m pissed and I’m shaking and I’m anxious and I can see her with you and I just can’t do that. Now I think of her whenever you get a call. I want to see you, but I don’t, and when I do, I don’t know how to act. I push you out, and you stay out, and you don’t try to come in, because you don’t need to. She would need you to, and you would for her, but I push you out and you walk away. But in what happened, who is the villain here?

I don’t need a boyfriend. I need a best friend. I need a confidant.

I need to stop writing half of this letter in my head.

It’s Not You, 

You were there when I needed your help. I’ve read and re-blogged and had many good times.

You were there for me, you helped me through a lot of times.

It’s because of you that I can now move on.

So thank you :)

And who knows? I may end up needing you again.

Dear people rioting in Egypt right now,  

hedwigthefeminist:

I hope as many of you possible today remain safe. I admire your courage to fight for the freedoms you deserve. So many of us are too afraid to fight for that, and so many of you are fighting for that today. I wish I could do something to help you directly, but as of today I will keep you in my mind and heart, stay updated on your struggle, and hope for your safety. Rock on, brave brothers and sisters.

Egypt riots letter stay safe thoughts prayers 



"And people are often unable to do anything, imprisoned as they are in I don’t know what kind of terrible, terrible, oh such terrible cage. […] Do you know what makes the prison disappear? Every deep, genuine affection. Being friends, being brothers, loving, that is what opens the prison, with supreme power, by some magic force. Without these one stays dead. But whenever affection is revived, there life revives."
-  Vincent Van Gogh in a letter to his brother Theo (July 1880)  (via predatorywaspobserver)
