"Most people who bother with the matter at all would admit that the English language is in a bad way, but it is generally assumed that we cannot by conscious action do anything about it. Our civilisation is decadent, and our language- so the argument runs- must inevitably share in the general collapse. It follows that any struggle against the abuse of language is sentimental archaism, like preferring candles to electric light or handsom cabs to aeroplanes....

[...] It becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts."

- Why I Write by George Orwell

borrowed Sylvia Plath's unabridged journals from our school's library yesterday.
i love the way she writes, so honest, so real, so compelling.
i have harboured similar thoughts as she had: we brooded about the same things, found ourselves on the brink of social defficiency, mused about people and the world and far away places and rain and longing, are driven and inspired yet bogged down by our own sorrows, find beauty in everything we see, love...
but she expresses her thoughts and feelings so fluidly and easily, much better than i.
ha haaa... okay back to chem



she's not here @
