we were just pretending

"I guess I like that idea that you could pretend yourself into new feelings and new relationships. Obviously I'm a big pretender. but the kind of leap where it's almost like some kind of science fiction thing happens. Like we were just pretending, and then what's this? We actually have new powers now, and we see each other differently, and in fact all of life has suddenly tilted. I'm going for that everyday, personally."

An English-to-English Translation of Emily Dickinson’s Poetry →

A sampling:

314. Hope is kind of like birds. In that I don’t have any.

867. I knew I was having a mental breakdown when abstract concepts started to make noise.

1568. I want the little pirate that lives inside of my heart to be my friend.

Texas — yes, Texas — reclaimed an abandoned Walmart and turned it into a public library. More specifically, the town of McAllen did so and won itself an award from the International Interior Design Association. So don’t assume you know everything there is to know about the Lone Star State. It’s a big place with even bigger ideas.

One actual thing to feel patriotic about. The world only spins forward.
