Planet Mercury: A Reintroduction

Welcome, Friends old and new. After a long break from this hellsite, I have returned and I hope to finally have more of a presence. For those that don't know me, I go by Mercury or Mercurio, and am a Scottish student studying English Literature at University. I also write poetry and sonnets, as well as being an avid film enjoyer of the old (and silent avant-garde). What exactly I aim to do with this blog, I'm not entirely sure. But perhaps one day I will be brave enough to post about my silly OCs and writing projects. I do currently have a Blogger, which is still a W.I.P as I am still updating and locating old poetry of mine from way back when I first started writing. All of which are located under the 'Yesterday's Youth Collection' tag. Certainly not the greatest, but they serve as a personal time capsule for my emotions, muses and thoughts during a rather turbulent period of my life. You can find those here at Letters From Mercury. Nice to meet you, and thanks for stopping by! Hopefully you come along and enjoy the ride, if not, then have a wonderful day.

major in yearning with a minor in fleeting glances and daydreams

[mercuryisnotinretrograde]

Make that a double major, as I also major in being delusional.

There's nothing like getting to uni early on a rainy morning, then going straight to your on-campus cafe as soon as it opens for a warm pastry. Plus points if your campus has skylights, so that you can read under the pittering and pattering of the soft downpour.

I have measured out my life with coffee spoons; I know the voices dying with a dying fall Beneath the music from a farther room. So how should I presume?

they should normalize saying "I'm thinking of you fondly but don't have much to say and frankly I don't even really want to talk rn but you have appeared in my thoughts and it's nice"

The ending of Frankenstine implies that the creature is still out there and living his life. Is he still looking for a girlfriend? Cause I like watching leafs float down the river and think that there is beautify in the strange. I'm also single.

[mercuryisnotinretrograde]

The creature is my hear-me-out of 2025.

If i had a nickel for every time Guillermo del Toro told me to live through the pain. To live and use the time i have, despite all hardship and pain because life it's also beautiful and worth living because this is the nature of life... Hardship and pain and love and company and hate and forgiveness... And and and.... Id have two pennies... Which isn't much. But it's weird that it happened twice

I got my second mid-term essay submitted. It always feels like such a win, considering that I often struggle with time management and stress. Anyways, I shall celebrate with sushi and perhaps some prosecco later.

Tomorrow, we will be back on the grind. It never stops.

[mercuryisnotinretrograde]

My love language, honestly.

It's okay to take a step back and review those skills that you've already learnt. I've been really stressed about my essay writing process, but taking the time to revise my note-taking, researching, and organisational skills has really helped me.

Remember, it's not just about the end result, the final grades, and the final product. While those are also important, the skills you learn along the way will serve you for a lifetime.

Happy Saturday. :)
