empty – secretive dreams

Abandonment issues, Mirna Pavlovic

You will be hollow. We shall squeeze you empty, and then we shall fill you with ourselves.

George Orwell, 1984

I am a creature of grief and dust and bitter longings. There is an empty place within me where my heart was once.

George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings (via aestheticintrovert)

So that’s how we live our lives. No matter how deep and fatal the loss, no matter how important the thing that’s stolen from us–that’s snatched right out of our hands–even if we are left completely changed, with only the outer layer of skin from before, we continue to play out our lives this way, in silence. We draw ever nearer to the end of our allotted span of time, bidding it farewell as it trails off behind. Repeating, often adroitly, the endless deeds of the everyday. Leaving behind a feeling of immeasurable emptiness.

Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart

I give everything to other people and nobody ever… I never.. I don’t get what I want!

…the ability to just sit there. That’s being a person. Because underneath everything in your life there is that thing, that empty—forever empty. That knowledge that it’s all for nothing and that you’re alone. It’s down there.

Louis C.K.
