Fernando Pessoa // Franz Kafka
a good book, iced coffee, and a nice slice of chocolate cake/ what else do you need in life?
Virginia WOOLF (1882–1941)
Née un 25 janvier… Hommage…

Is there a corner darker than the colour black? I want to live there.
read little women for the first time, and it was the perfect read to come out of a slump
I don’t even know why anyone would listen to the short version of all too well? Like it wouldn’t feel right anymore
i have found myself in dark academia once again.

Virginia Woolf on the loss of landscape. So much brilliance here, including the idea of the present throwing its shadow backwards.
“you‘re so quiet” baby i’m not even here. i’m fantasizing about a book i read weeks ago. move on.
Types of Academics as Coffee
(From what I've learned as a tired barista)
Espresso: Cold, sleepless nights and too many thoughts matched with too little words to express them. Silver rings that clink against ceramic cups and leather journals that have started bending and fraying after constant trips in bags. One too many college emails and not enough from lovers, friends. Text messages with periods.
Americano: Burnt fingertips against a to-go and cold hands otherwise. It's justifiable -- helps to push them to move pencils against paper, strike keys on a worn-down piano on the commute to class. Baggy, cozy sweatshirts chosen over rows of formal wear in the closet -- but they still look just as sharp. Convincing yourself that a sleepless night is worth an easier month.
Caffè Latte: Yearning for comfort in a busy, blocked-in schedule. Hunting for a balance between reward over hard work and keeping with the demands of one too many classes they regret taking. Playlists upon playlists, some they forget about only to dig up later and sit with. Discomfort and disappointment in how quickly things change -- fashion, interests, hobbies they're just starting to good at -- but pushing through nonetheless.
Caramel Macchiato: Calm and practiced effort when taking on the night shift, trudging through the day to get to the peace and quiet of night. Padded headphones, an extra robe or blanket, and an unlit candle between stacks of papers -- all things to get to, but none quite sorted. Daggers framed on the walls, sharp enough to have left a small scab on their hand. Respect and divinity in all they touch and write and experience.
Flat White: Tik-tak sounds against keyboards, quick finger-cracks snuck in between paragraphs to keep going. Warm, crunchy pastries after a long day -- every crumb swept up by fingertips and discarded onto the plate. Ceilings lit up by phone notifications, stained shoelaces, and analytical eyes over articles upon articles -- people upon people.
Caffè Mocha: Lingering smells from the night before, not quite washed away by a morning shower. Still trying to figure out how exactly they should be balancing their classes -- it's the end of the first semester. They're running late but their friends know them -- bring them a coffee they couldn't get to or remind them of a lab they're missing.
White Chocolate Mocha: Classics snapped closed because they just aren't as good as the latest fiction they had their hands on. Going step-by-step, pausing even after a whirlwind of events to sort everything out and look ahead. Excitement in prom or social events -- counting down the days until the next holiday or test or party.
Tea: Trying to see something -- a hint of the future -- in the dregs of their brew. Not ready for a relationship but longing for one -- not quite settled in their independence but not ready to compromise it. Music over a speaker, flooding a room with whatever they're into at the moment. A single tarot card pulled every month -- pinned to the wall.
if you kiss my neck i will take my clothes off
when i say "romanticise the ordinary" i don't mean "hide all aspects of your life that do not fit under some kind of aesthetic" but rather "strive to find beauty in all the little things because i promise you, happiness can be found everywhere"
Be picky about vibes. Be picky about the energy you surround yourself with. You owe yourself that much
literature has saved my life several times......like so many times I have felt emotions that I cannot shake, that feel so heavy and unearthly and then I stumble across a poem, or a quote from a human decades or even centuries ago and suddenly i feel connected to them...i am reminded that hope exists! the perfect arrangement of words can heal a wound in the heart that has existed for years! the power of literature!
drop some beautiful book recommendations for fall
i’m mentally still there
