"If you find yourself wanting something month after month, year after year, yet nothing happens and you never come any closer to it, then maybe what you actually want is a fantasy, an idealization, a false promise. Maybe what you want isn't what you want, you just enjoy wanting.”
-Mark Manson
You keep storing up all that anger and grief. Eventually it spills over. Or you drown in it.

2. read the above again.
— Louise Glück, from “Timor Mortis.”
