Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost

Mostly a booklr, with smatterings of Disney and feminism posts and other things that capture my fancy.

when james baldwin said “you think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. it was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.” I felt that big, big time

“Ever since I could remember, I had feared being found wanting. If I did the work I wanted to do, it was certain not to measure up; if I pursued the people I wanted to know, I was bound to be rejected; if I made myself as attractive as I could, I would still be ordinary looking. Around such damages to the ego a shrinking psyche had formed: I applied myself to my work, but only grudgingly; I’d make one move toward people I liked, but never two; I wore makeup but dressed badly. To do any or all of these things well would have been to engage heedlessly with life — love it more than I loved my fears — and this I could not do. What I could do, apparently, was daydream the years away: to go on yearning for “things” to be different so that I would be different.”

I found this not-quite-haiku in my notes from September 22:

I have a double bed

Alone, I only sleep on one side

My books must have the other

i love.... calm men. like some men just have this really soothing, gentle, calm aura. as a girl who is highly strung and often suffers from anxiety and paranoia, I love a man who’s good at comforting you, who’s relaxed vibe rubs off on you, talking to him eases your anxiety and you just feel calm and safe

not to be controversial but like. women who don’t compliment or validate their male significant others and instead criticize them constantly or make fun of them constantly really bother me. like tell ur boyfriend he’s cute or that you like his ass, he needs to feel good about himself too
