“Every good, true, vigorous feeling I have gathers impulsively around him. I know I must conceal my sentiments; I must smother hope; I must remember that he cannot care much for me. For when I say that I am of his kind, I do not mean that I have his force to influence, and his spell to attract; I mean only that I have certain tastes and feelings in common with him. I must, then, repeat continually that we are forever sundered:-and yet, while I breathe and think, I must love him.”

– Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre

Do you believe it is true that everything, and everyone, in this world, is connected somehow?

Often, I’d be completely engrossed in something when a certain thought suddenly enters my mind. And it demands my attention so forcefully that I cannot, for the life of me, focus again on what I was supposed to be doing!

And you know what is crazy? more often than not, something related to that particular person or thing actually happens afterwards.

I know how this might look like. No they are not “visions” or “prophetic dreams” or anything of the sort. It is just that someone or something suddenly “pops” into my thoughts, for some reason. No clear or vivid details.

Also, I know for a fact that this is not uncommon. It happens to almost everyone, in varying degrees. But most people dismiss it, or do not notice it at all.

My theory: 
Since this mostly happens with people I care about and things I love, I think that when people care so deeply about something or someone, their thoughts become “in sync” with said person/thing.
Now my theory has a second half, but I dare not even write about it. People will think it’s downright ridiculous!
Only when I prove it, will I be able to share it.

Quote: Useless Advice

“No mockery in this world ever sounds to me so hollow as that of being told to cultivate happiness. What does such advice mean? Happiness is not a potato, to be planted in mould, and tilled with manure. Happiness is a glory shining far down upon us out of heaven. She is a divine dew which the soul, on certain of its summer mornings, feels dropping upon it from the amaranth bloom and golden fruitage of Paradise.”

– Charlotte Bronte, Villette


God help me; few things piss me off more than people who keep lecturing me to simply “be happy” as if I like being miserable! But as always; Lucy Snow knows, Lucy Snow understands.

Quote: Fear

“When you tear out a man’s tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you’re only telling the world that you fear what he might say.”

“While there’s life there’s hope is a conviction not so entirely unknown to the “betrayed” as some amiable theorists would have us believe.”

– Thomas Hardy , Tess of the d’urbervilles
