Was The Earth Put Here Just To Nourish Human Loneliness¿

Was the earth put here just to nourish human loneliness¿

Gurl shut up

God, but life is loneliness, despite all the opiates, despite the shrill tinsel gaiety of “parties” with no purpose, despite the false grinning faces we all wear. And when at last you find someone to whom you feel you can pour out your soul, you stop in shock at the words you utter — they are so rusty, so ugly, so meaningless and feeble from being kept in the small cramped dark inside you so long. Yes, there is joy, fulfilment and companionship — but the loneliness of the soul in its appalling self-consciousness, is horrible and overpowering —

Sylvia Plath, from The Unabridged Journals [ID in alt text]
