“…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 Constantine 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, Chapter 7 * I am 25 and live in VA. I’m convinced I would be much happier elsewhere. * I re-blog a lot. * I live and breathe for music. It consumes a rather large portion of my life. It is my best friend, boyfriend, and soul mate (kinda like that CSS song). Its the only thing that has never let me down or disappointed me. I am dependent upon it. * I am a happy little mess and nerdy as they come.

This must be clung to because the whole consequence of a life can depend on it.
