thinking about how ursula k leguin said "what goes too long unchanged destroys itself. The forest is forever because it dies and dies and so lives" and how everyday i wake up slightly different and i can feel myself shed the skin of who i used to be slowly, slowly, until i look back and can scarcely recognise who i was... but also she is still a part of me, part of the leaf litter and the humus, supporting me as i send new roots down and new leaves stretching up to the sunlight

we need to bring back the simple art of just “come to my house and we hang out without an activity or pretense or meal” my friend hung out on my couch for seven hours today we just gabbed… no specific plans no activities involved. likeee let’s just hang out on my couch forever and ever amen

why are all the actual real human jobs like baker and florist and childcare worker barely paying livable wages but the fake jobs like ai specialist boot licker or marketing campaign dick sucker making six figures

Today's read.....

"The whole Abrahamic world invests itself in this promise: Don't lie, don't cheat, don't fuck or steal or kill, and you'll be a good person. Eight of the ten commandments are about what thou shalt not.

But you can live a whole life not doing any of that stuff and still avoid doing any good. That's the whole crisis"

- excerpt from Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar

i want 2 be the kind of person whose bookshelves intimidate strangers. rows of spines whispering of ideas bigger than any one life. to speak of nietzsche as easily as i speak of the weather, to argue about dostoevsky with the same casualness as people gossip about celebrities. knowledge, when worn correctly, is the finest jewelry

I write to forget. My hope is that if I exhaust all my words, that day, I may rest my pen. That day, your memories will finally leave me.

"There are a few who are too weak to fly even if all the doors to the cage are open. There are also those who find a way through the darkness of ignorance. But the heart has to be pure."

the biggest lesson im learning is that nothing is as extreme or as permanent as our emotions convince us they are. nothing is certain and things are always fluctuating and there are always exceptions and there are always mistakes. there is always pain and there is always love. everything is a delicate touch away from changing
