desperation
"I despise the false lucidity that comes with age.The truth is that adults are just like everyone else: nothing more than kids who don't understand what has happened to them, acting big and tough when in fact all they want is to burst into tears"
Muriel Barbery, The Elegance of the Hedgehog
One of the real problems with me is that I constantly feel so overwhelmed by life that I have this ridiculous lust for people and human interaction and as a result I'm so so eager for experience. People pass it off as 'youth' but I feel the above quote to be true and instead of this 'oh tomorrow, next week - you'll be able to speak to X sometime then. Don't be a daft, tired, drunk girl.'
All I feel is this imminence, this desire to act everything out at once lest I never get the chance.
