Charlotte Bronte Changed My Life
My favorite book is Villette by Charlotte Bronte. It's one of the few novels of hers that was not adapted to a BBC miniseries. To be honest, I read a lot of the classics so I could guiltlessly watch their adaptations. It started with Wuthering Heights when I was 13 or so. At that age, I couldn't completely grasp the nuance, but its story impacted me (even after I realized how convoluted and hateable the characters were. Literally all of them.) Yeah, the book is pretty cheesy and outlandish.

Cocoon
I have to be honest, open, and willing to receive. I have to clarify what I mean. I am emerging from my cocoon. I am releasing the urges from my womb. I am finally setting myself free. I am not doing this for you, him, or her. I am doing this for me. I need to see what I have climbed, lost in time, and stand firmly on borrowed time. This is it. This is me. Take a good look, because it is the last time you see, the insane one, the one who has to flee. I am me.
