Hedonic treadmill →
bestofwikipedia:
The hedonic treadmill, also known as hedonic adaptation, is the supposed tendency of humans to quickly return to a relatively stable level of happiness despite major positive or negative events or life changes. According to this theory, as a person makes more money, expectations and desires rise in tandem, which results in no permanent gain in happiness. (via sleevia)

Soliloquy of the Solipsist by Sylvia Plath →
clandestinelyisay:
I? I walk alone; The midnight street Spins itself from under my feet; When my eyes shut These dreaming houses all snuff out; Through a whim of mine Over gables the moon’s celestial onion Hangs high.
I Make houses shrink And trees diminish By going far; my look’s leash Dangles the puppet-people Who, unaware how they dwindle, Laugh, kiss, get drunk, Nor guess that if I choose...

Recently, my sister has started up a tumblr, but she doesn’t have an enormous amount of time to dedicate to the website because of her schooling, and thus, is having a hard time gaining followers. If you’d like (and only if you’d like; don’t feel compelled), you can find her here.

My friend (because she’s a secret government spy) tells me that my name is Daisy Lou and that I’m from Idaho. My memory was wiped and my name was changed to Kim. And now that I’ve discovered this, my memory will be wiped again and I’ll be relocated again. To Nevada this time.
