Sylvia plath writes about through the character esther greenwood in the book the bell jar , saying . "The reason i hadn't washed my clothes or my hair was because it seemed so silly ... it seemed silly to wash one day when i would only have to wash again the next " . It's twisted logic i know , but sometimes when you want something to end so badly , it just feels stupid channeling your energy doing something so repetitive . In Sylvia plath's case , it was probably her own life she wanted to end so badly . In my case , my work .

But of course , i would wash my hair . reason in madness .
