this is great, it's fascinating to read these, it's almost educational. I'd post my worst but it's still fresh...

BTW, I haven't said anything but my boyfriend of 3 years and I broke up a month or so ago...I don't know why I didn't say it before but I was embarrassed. Funny huh? I guess because I have spoken about him here on TFP and was pretty much gushing about him all the time...turns out he wasn't anything to gush about. Maybe when I've recovered from the whole experience I'll write him up here - he deserves it.

The good news is that I'm buying my own house soon and things are looking up, so no tears for me ladies! Phew, it feels good to say this.

We are ever unapparent. What we are

Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.


Fernando Pessoa, 1918
