(((kiaka))) my favorite poet is edna st. vincent millay. she had a major heartbreak and became a recluse. my favorite quote of hers is "life goes on, i forget just why."
at one time in my life when bpd and depression were overpowering my existence i could totally understand why she wrote this. i believe some of our greatest writers have gained acknowledgement because they write about how they feel. no fru-fru, just life as they view it.
