The Wall

My darling one, you are young and inexperienced, and though you think the world is at your feet, it can rise up and tread on you.

The above quote is from Atonement, one of my all-time favourites. It's one of those films that allows me to centre myself - as in, any time I'm feeling a little too trapped in my own head, it's the first thing to play. That, or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I have a melancholic taste in movies.

It's less than two weeks into school and I already feel drained. I want to keep going though. It's difficult to maintain a certain momentum while keeping yourself grounded, I've come to learn. It's hard to balance your frantic and ambitious self with your calm and collected self. Can they exist in the same being? Still figuring that one out.

This is the first time I've been able to sit at my bedroom desk in a long time. Nothing like lighting a candle, eating some chocolate and finding new music. Here's the latest to occupy that hole in my heart.
