btw what you consume shapes your perception. if you flood your mind with cynicism, chaos, and uninspired content, you dull your ability to see beauty. curating your inputs—art, literature, film, music, people—rewires your vision. you get to choose which version of life you experience...

do you have any advice?

eat a protein heavy breakfast. don’t shop on shein. it’s never too late to get more educated. tell people you love them. listen to birds. go to an old growth forest. get really good at something, just to see if you can.

Since you left I’ve grown so much.

If I could have seen you just once more, tell you how much you’re adored.

every time I see a photo of a beautiful hand knitted garment on pinterest there is a stupid person in the comments asking “where is it from?” and a downright evil one responding with “there’s a similar one on shein”

why was every book we had to read in high school about a man going insane bc of “society” and then trying to kill his girlfriend

and don’t get me wrong i think it is so important to talk about the treatment of women throughout history, especially through the lens of literature and a lot of these books were not anti-feminist at all and actually did a good job at depicting that these women were in fact innocent and horribly mistreated by the men in their lives

however

it always bugged that we would get tasks like „did she contribute to his behavior/ could she have prevented her fate?“

because she was either too naive (gretchen, faust) or too smart (clara, der sandmann), too unfaithful and dismissive (marie, woyzeck) or too faithful and kindhearted (desdemona, othello)

and also

eventhough i liked all of these stories, i wish we could have swapped at least one of these works for a book written from the perspective of a woman, truly
