The Bell Jar

"There is something demoralizing about watching two people get more and more crazy about each other, especially when you are the only extra person in the room.
It's like watching Paris from an express caboose heading in the opposite direction- every second the city gets smaller and smaller, only you feel it's really you getting smaller and smaller and lonelier and lonelier, rushing away from all those lights and that excitement at about a million miles an hour."

- Sylvia Plath "The Bell Jar"

Every word she says is magic and strikes a chord in my heart that resounds through every nerve in my system. The Bell Jar was her only book and was published only weeks before her suicide. I feel her here with me, whispering in my ear, caressing my fingers as I flip the page.
I understand her, every little bit of what she went through.

And I know.
