The Yellow Wall-Paper

ayoni

I think sometimes that if I were only well enough to write a little it would relieve the press of ideas and rest me.

But I find I get pretty tired when I try.

It is so discouraging not to have any advice and companionship about my work.

“But I MUST say what I feel and think in some way — it is such a relief! But the effort is getting to be greater than the relief.”

“I cry at nothing, and cry most of the time.”

“Nobody would believe what an effort it is to do what little I am able, - to dress and entertain, and order things”

she's just like me when i got mad about stuff not moving.

This bed will not move! I tried to lift and push it until I was lame, and then I got so angry I bit off a little piece at one corner - but it hurt my teeth.

It is the strangest yellow, that wall-paper!
