Luctor Et Emergo

I am a forest, and a night of dark trees: but he who is not afraid of my darkness, will find banks full of roses under my cypresses.

Once you stop trying to entertain this imaginary audience and start living for yourself things should get a bit better

Study time!

I’ve got a week off from school and exams starting in three weeks time. Time to start revising and studying everything.

Actually had a productive day at the library going through my materials and writing notes on Mary Shelley

Roman history is like a bottomless well, interesting but very exhausting

ppl are so annoying “you can’t paint ur bedroom pink you’re an adult” i did not spend my entire life waiting to grow up and control my life to paint my bedroom beige

[hojolove]

I had a sales woman in furniture store try and tell me not to buy a hot bubblegum pink loveseat because she wanted me to “think about the future”

Bitch, I am thinking about the future. I already got a hot bubblegum pink couch at home and now I need a loveseat to go with it.

when I first bought my house, I announced my decision to paint my bedroom purple. I had wanted a purple bedroom for thirty damn years, you fucking bet I was gonna have one now. My friends decided, for some reason, that I meant what one of them referred to as “14 year old girl purple” (through what’s wrong with the colors a 14 year old girl chooses, I don’t know, even if they’re not what I want as an adult). They didn’t believe me until they saw the color on the actual wall, even thought they helped me pick out paints. My mother, meanwhile, decided to get worried that if I painted my bedroom a “dark purple”, it would be “depressing”. As if, with an entire house to live in, I would spend all my time in the bedroom, which I wanted to be dark because I would be sleeping in there. In the damn dark.

I had like one, maybe two friends who were all like FUCK YEAH YOU PAINT IT WHATEVER COLOR YOU WANT, PURPLE BEDROOMS ARE AWESOME.

But when they actualy saw the finished bedroom, every single one of them was like, “Oh yeah, that’s really pretty.” (Well, the ones who supported me from the beginning were more like WOOHOO.)

And the moral of the story is: Fuck ‘em, please yourself. Either they’ll come around, or you can safely ignore every question of taste they opine about for the rest of time.

This applies to other adulting activities, too. When I was a kid, I decided that I wanted to have a wedding cake made of doughnuts. When I got older, I figured that I would be “mature” about it and get a traditional cake, which the older adults approved of. Now that I’m 25 and facing the possibility of actual marriage in the near future, I’m just like “marriage is a social construct but it comes with tax & insurance benefits, so just give me that goddamn doughnut cake.” If they don’t like it then they don’t have to come to my wedding.

I would like you all to view my office. I’m thirty and my rainbow room is awesome, people can fight me

[spuffybot]

I’m thirty and my first big furniture purchase was a custom coffin shaped coffee table that opens up and is lined with purple crushed velvet. I would have loved it at 13 and I love it now. Growing up doesn’t mean you have to abandon what makes you happy.

GROWING UP DOESN’T MEAN YOU HAVE TO ABANDON WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.

[fruitcupabomination]

I’m 100% keeping this in mind

Reblogging because this made my day. Right yesterday I was talking to my boyfriend about what “growing up” means to us and I said “I don’t want to stop watching Disney movies and reading Harry Potter and dressing with Hogwarts merchandises just because I’ll be 40 one day” and he replied to me “then don’t do it, we live in a democracy, everybody do what the f*** they want...which is partially why our society is messed up but this does not apply to Disney, Harry Potter or whatever you want to do with your life”.

After visiting Empress Elizabeth’s palace my friends and I enjoyed some quality time in the park that surrounded it. I was dressed as a peasant but I sure felt like a princess for a moment, strolling down those paths like I owned them.

11/100 days of productivity

- I feel so happy to have the possibility to spend the weekend out of the city.

I’ve always thought my biggest dream in life was to build a successful career in Rome as a famous doctor but I’m wondering if it’s just the result of a system who brings us to be robotic workaholics...I enjoy the countryside so much, I don’t think I’ll ever give up on this. Also, I belong to the mountains. Hopefully I’ll find a balanced way to enjoy nature and be present for my family and also be a successful ENT doctor. Priorities, right?
