There is something demoralizing about watching two people get more and more crazy about each other, especially when you are the only extra person in the room. it's like watching paris from an express caboose heading in the opposite direction--every second the city gets smaller and smaller, only you feel it's really you getting smaller and smaller and lonelier and lonelier, rushing away from all those lights and excitement at about a million miles an hour.

There Is Something Demoralizing About Watching Two

Sylvia Plath

There is something demoralizing about watching two people get more and more crazy about each other, especially when you are the only extra person in the room. it's like watching paris from an express caboose heading in the opposite direction--every second the city gets smaller and smaller, only you feel it's really you getting smaller and smaller and lonelier and lonelier, rushing away from all those lights and excitement at about a million miles an hour.

Crazy Light Opposites

More From Sylvia Plath

Every time i look down on this timeless town whether blue or gray be her skies. whether loud be her cheers or soft be her tears, more and more do i realize: i love paris in the springtime. i love paris in the fall. i love paris in the winter when it drizzles, i love paris in the summer when it sizzles. i love paris every moment, every moment of the year. i love paris, why, oh why do i love paris? because my love is near.

There is something demoralizing about watching two people get more and more crazy about each other, especially when you are the only extra person in the room.

Clothing sizes are weird, they go: small, medium, large and then extra large, extra extra large, extra extra extra large. something happened at large, they just gave up. they were like, 'i'm not doing any more adjectives; you just keep putting extras on there.' we could do better than that: small, medium, large, whoa, easy, slow down, stop it, interesting, american.

My sheets had never been so clean as they had in the past few months. i hardly got them on again before something else happened and i was feverishly ripping them off and stuffing them in the wash with double amounts of soap and all the "extra" buttons pushed: extra wash, extra rinse, extra water, extra spin, extra protection against things that go bump in the night.

The difference between ordinary and extra-ordinary is so often just simply that little word - extra. and for me, i had always grown up with the belief that if someone succeeds it is because they are brilliant or talented or just better than me... and the more of these words i heard the smaller i always felt! but the truth is often very different... and for me to learn that ordinary me can achieve something extra-ordinary by giving that little bit extra, when everyone else gives up, meant the world to me and i really clung to it.

To me the biggest waste of time is commuting. first, there is no place that is less than a two-hour commute from new york. you can be half a mile outside of the city limits; you're two hours away by car. i don't care how close they tell you it is. "oh, it's only thirty miles." thirty miles? at 8:30 in the morning, thirty miles outside new york, you might as well be starting out in omaha.

Now the only thing i miss about sex is the cigarette afterward. next to the first one in the morning, it's the best one of all. it tasted so good that even if i had been frigid i would have pretended otherwise just to be able to smoke it.

I know i get cold, cause i can't leave things well alone. understand i'm accident prone. me, i get free every night the moon is mine. but when the morning comes don't say you love me, don't say you need me. i really don't think that's fair.

I do heavy weights in the morning for about an hour, and then i do 45 minutes of higher-volume lifting in the afternoon. my least favorite is the legs... i do quite a few chin-ups and rows. i do mostly old-school lifting with a lot of squats.

My line of work makes you aware of the fragility of life. you can get up in the morning, eat your cornflakes, blow-dry your hair, go to work and end up dead.
