Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore.
- Lady GaGa

The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours"
— Alan Bennett (The History Boys: The Film)


Making a meal of it
A knife cutting through
She’s barley touched her food
Or his heart
And her lips remained closed
Not chewing
Or saying what she feels
Her plate is full
And it’s too much to handle
She makes no attempt
at anything at all
and she leaves
like she came
hungry
and
empty


The author's comments:
This poem is about the link between eating disorders and personal problems . The girl uses the food to try and say what she won't , she wants to ask the boy if he loves her as she worries he doesn't .She can't express to him that something is wrong in words so she subconsciously tries to do that by not eating , her being "empty" represents that she feels unloved and she is hungry for love .
