I love Virginia!
Virginia begins this diary with the sentence: “This is the turn of the tide.” Truly it was because it is,to me, an account of her descent into a depression from which she never recovered. She committed suicide 6 years after the diary ended. Despite its length, she mostly listed events, rarely talking about her feelings but when she did her despair was almost unbearable to read. Such a tragic story. I wish there had been help for her. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I feel all the shadows of the universe multiplied deep inside my skin."
Haven't read anything from Virginia Woolf yet, but I most certainly will now!

This is my New Year's Eve. Happy New Year.
Tonight I begin reading volume 4 of Woolf's diary. So close to one of my goals of reading her entire diaries.
There was only one choice for today. There's #poetry and light and darkness in everything Virginia Woolf wrote #quotsyjan18
