Waiting

i’m still working hard to graduate at some point and i’m in such a lucky position that i have dreams and plans for the future even after everything

i’ve lost some friends recently but also gained some new ones, and i’m also very lucky for having a friend from school who is goal-oriented, passionate and awesome. we’ve been studying a lot together recently.

My Quote Wall & My Black Mini Dress

for whatever reason i keep loving lightness and calmness in my life, while i portray myself as a dark fighter.

i guess that’s a portrait of my life as well, all the things, the darkness i can’t control, and the balance of the light i can control.

How To Get Away From Someone You Love

no, seriously tell me.

i’ve been dealing with a lot of things this summer, but what i’ve mostly been doing is i’ve tried to forward my studies, and i’m doing okay with that.

on the other hand, i’ve been dissociating a lot and i didn’t really enjoy anything i used to love for a long time, but i’m slowly getting back to feeling like myself again. most importantly i’ve been feeling a connection to music again, which has been very comforting.

i’ve also noticed that some people want me when they are scared of being lonely and they’ll say anything to have me, but make me feel lonely and like a bad person while doing so, meanwhile others make me feel loved even in my hardest times. those are the soulmates.

i have vastly different handwriting when i’m making clean notes vs. when i’m frantically writing down lyrics i made up in the shower at 11 pm

Describe your handwriting without using the words “messy” or neat”

my toxic trait? using library books as coasters

[books-and-cookies]

There is this lady on the train - I see her most mornings, who is almost always with a book in her hand. She’s around…40 years old, maybe? The really cool thing is that she reads YA (this morning, she was reading a book in the Septimus Heap series, I saw her reading Holes a while ago).  And she is so chill about it, just enjoying her book, reading literally until the train has stopped in the station. And I think that’s fantastic, because we’re so hell bent on labeling everything in our lives, including things related to reading (you’re an adult, so you should read only adult books, you should be reading more classics, you should not read things that are simpler), that we’re forgetting that we’re supposed to do whatever makes us happy. And if reading YA/children’s literature/middle grade makes us happy, we should just do it.

[angelicliving]

yes, honestly one thing i’ve learnt from reading essays from actual authors is “fuck genre”,

to mention even one Diana Wynne Jones, whom i’ve read in my twenties despite her having written mostly children’s fiction

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas...

i didn’t really want to do christmas cards this year, but of course i had to do a few for my best friends and grandma etc.

these ones for my besties came out so pretty. usually people do pretty dark christmas cards and i wanted to do something light, something completely different from what it looks like outside.

“It was September. In the last days when things are getting sad for no reason.”

The October Country, Ray Bradbury

“In order for a thing to be horrible it has to suffer a change you can recognize. This isn’t changed. They’re still skeletons, like they always were. The part that changed is gone, and so there’s nothing to show for it. Isn’t that interesting?”

The October Country, Ray Bradbury

“She was the color of fine, fresh milk. The pink color of the bath was gone. Her heart had sucked it all down to some hidden vacuum in her. She held fast to the french doorway and watched the traveling people go, watched them eat fruit, heard them talk gently, laugh gently. She forgot she was naked.”

The October Country, Ray Bradbury

Chaotic academia is procrastinating studying like there’s no tomorrow, and then turning around and studying like there’s no tomorrow

[angelicliving]

Oh, A Man With Wings.

this was simply one of my favourite parts of The October Country.

the way Brunilla just accepts that Einar has wings reminds me of Luna Lovegood’s innocence and that is something that i admire at the moment very much. the ability to accept the things around you is unique and valuable.

i’m very happy i read this book this autumn. i’ve added to my inner world with every book i’ve read this year, i think. and this is very special to me.

Irritable murder, there's a pretty and terrifying phrase for you

As Far As Late Autumn Mornings Go

i can’t even begin to describe what i feel i my soul when i can spend the morning reading about the Middle Ages and drinking my coffee on the balcony. the fact that we’ve had renovations on our building and haven’t been able to use our balconies for 8 months only adds to this almost spiritual feeling i get when i’m able to just enjoy myself here

i’ve said this many times before, this has been a very long year. but i’m really only now realising it’s almost over. here’s to hoping these last 2 months will bring kindness and energy to all of us
