Kate Chopin, from The Awakening
will you just let me be silly for a sec. there’s this dread so ancient in me
Sorry I’m late, I got added to the Wild Hunt last night and ran and reveled with them for what felt like 100 years plus a day until I landed the killing blow on a stag with bronze antlers then suddenly woke in my bed, willow leaves in my hair, a nameless song echoing in my ears, and my hands still bloody, so yeah, totally missed my alarm and stuff.

god it’s like nobody even cares that [problem i’ve taken great pains to make sure nobody will acknowledge] looks like i have no choice but to make it worse in isolation for reasons i can’t articulate and don’t understand
