"No one wants to be the person who is made fun of
for caring too much about something, who treats in earnest a situation that
everyone else considers absurd. Even in personal relationships, feeling too heavily invested while simultaneously understanding that
the other person couldn’t be more detached is one of the most profound feelings
of embarrassment we can experience. Because it isn’t simply the embarrassment
of making a mistake or a poor choice, it’s a shame over the kind of human being
you are and how you see the world around you. To be shamed for your sincerity
is to be reminded that you are dependent on something which is not dependent on
you — that you are, once again, vulnerable.”
Chelsea Fagan
“She also considered very
seriously what she would look like in a little cottage in the middle of the
forest, dressed in a melancholy gray and holding communion only with the birds
and trees; a life of retirement away from the vain world; a life into which no
man came.”
AA Milne
