CCLX.
In the same way a photograph is equal to a thousand words, it would follow that a single word can also be a thousand images—ten thousand, even; a million, an impossibly large amount of sights and meanings and people. For example, what is BLUE? How do you define BLUE? And I’d say: it’s a pen, an ocean, most of an iris, a satin bow, a grave-side bouquet, a January, a July, a painting, a vein,...

white adj. 1. Free from color; the hue of new snow or milk. As in,
weary from absorption you've taken to wearing white when you
pass through town, past other people's elementary schools and
young bodies in damp garages, past neighbors who don't know

“We have to stop being afraid of being brave,” somebody has written, on the inside of a sticky silver candy wrapper, and I’m standing in the train station in the middle of the day staring dumbly down at this teetering pile of trash, like this is a sign and something important with a capital ‘I’ will happen and the universe is profound.

purposeless, r-a-n-d-o-m thoughts -
you know, this is what I hated the most about college applications last year:
the gamble of it. channeling an endless amount of effort into something, without any assurance at all of the outcome. because with work, with relationships, with plans - you know where each path will lead you down, right? you know the results and consequences of any given...
