Mutterseelenallein (German): described as loneliness, but much harder-hitting than that: it's meant to evoke abandonment by everybody you love, and literally means that your mother's soul has left you. (bustle.com)
Sometimes I stay awake at 3am, and I wonder if everyone I love is there for me. It sort of is a kind of moment where I wonder if they care about me, or wonder why they don't text me as much. It's more or less a time where I question my sanity. Even more so at this time I truly feel completely alone. I feel abandoned, and sometimes I cry at this point. However, it's not an excuse for me to fall back into patterns where I don't properly take car of myself.
“Nobody ever gets what they want when it comes to love.” (Scott Turow)
She dwells with Beauty—Beauty that must die; (John Keats)
I think that this is my favorite line from Ode to Melancholy because to me it shows the harsh reality between beauty and death. Flowers are beautiful; however, if you pick the flower, it will eventually die. To me this means that beauty if fleeting and death is always imminent.
