Sylvia Plath. Some of my Fav quotes.
“If the moon smiled, she would resemble you.
You leave the same impression
Of something beautiful, but annihilating.”
― Sylvia Plath, Ariel: The Restored Edition
“I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out. I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
“That’s one of the reasons I never wanted to get married. The last thing I wanted was infinite security and to be the place an arrow shoots off from. I wanted change and excitement and to shoot off in all directions myself, like the colored arrows from a Fourth of July rocket.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
"I have never found anybody who could stand to accept the daily demonstrative love I feel in me, and give back as good as I give.”
― Sylvia Plath, Journals of Sylvia Plath
"Yes, I was infatuated with you: I am still. No one has ever heightened such a keen capacity of physical sensation in me. I cut you out because I couldn't stand being a passing fancy. Before I give my body, I must give my thoughts, my mind, my dreams. And you weren't having any of those.... ”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
"And the danger is that in this move toward new horizons and far directions, that I may lose what I have now, and not find anything except loneliness”
― Sylvia Plath
“I thought if only I had a keen, shapely bone structure to my face or could discuss politics shrewdly or was a famous writer Constantin might find me interesting enough to sleep with.
And then I wondered if as soon as he came to like me he would sink into ordinariness, and if as soon as he came to love me I would find fault, the way I did with Buddy Willard and the boys before him.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
“Perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everyting. It is because we are dangerously close to wanting nothing.”
― Sylvia Plath
“Kiss me and you will see how important I am”
--Sylvia Plath

Whiskey Vampires
Your mysterious eyes draw me in and glamour me with your vampire tricks.
As soon as our eyes catch it’s over, in an instant.
Then the dark night turns into some kind of dream world.
The whiskey flows and we both transform.
Away from everything reality holds.
The night soars on and our souls sing.
Our eyes can’t stay away from each other.
You infect me with your vampire fangs
and keep passionate power over me.
We are in some kind of whimsical love story, unaware of our poisoned brains.
Until…
daylight comes.
It’s over.
The dream quickly ends and reality returns,
with a hangover from hell that only a vamp could produce.
You go back to your world. I go back to my reality.
But, I still can’t help but wonder…where are you now?
Who are you in the daylight?
--Christiana C.

GaGa's insight on Women's Empowerment
"Yes. Yes I am. I am a feminist. I reject wholeheartedly the way we are taught to perceive women. The beauty of women, how a woman should act or behave. Women are strong and fragile. Women are beautiful and ugly. We are soft spoken and loud, all at once. There is something mind-controlling about the way we're taught to view women. My work, both visually and musically, is a rejection of all those things. And most importantly a quest. It's exciting because all avant-garde clothing and music and lyrics that at one time were considered shocking or unacceptable are now trendy. Perhaps we can make women's rights trendy. Strength, feminism, security, the wisdom of the woman. Let's make that trendy." Lady GaGa

Writing is Cool
I love to write. I've always written something. Whether it be poetry, love letters as a little girl, journals, essays, academic research, pondering thoughts,or just a few words. It has been such at outlet for me and I enjoy it most of the time. I've recently found it interesting to examine the the past through writing. I find things I wrote years ago all the time. Old email drafts, random vents about trivial stuff, old, bad poems, research proposals that never went anywhere, drafts for papers in graduate school; I've written so much. Especially during times of change or loss or pain or contemplation. It's intriguing to see what my thought process was then and where it is now. I love realizing how much I have grown in so many ways and I write more to find out what else I can become. To me, everything makes since, at some point, through writing. :)
