No excuse for a wasted life, Lightly falling through a whisper of sky.

It's the weight of the world, I know, as I'm struggling to be.

I am Mary, (also known as Emmy or EmeraldSwan). I'm a wife, a mother, a student, a writer, an artist. This journal is friends locked. I have my reasons. Comment on the most recent public post to be added.

Favorite Quotes

"“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”" ~Jack Kerouac, On the Road

"There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the dependence that can be placed on the appearance of either merit or sense." ~Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

"Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window." ~ William Faulkner

Mary's favorite quotes

"America...just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable"— Hunter S. Thompson
