sometimes, i have no motivation to do anything. i don't want to study, to clean, to do laundry, to reply to texts, to charge my phone, to eat, to even go to the bathroom.

but then, other days, im do motivated. i get a spark of ideas, and i can write a whole book, make orange juice that can last me a week, do all my laundry, study for FUN, exercise for FUN.

and then go back to being unmotivated.

but then i open tumblr, and the dark academia guides, and book recommendations, and the cottagecore recipes, and pretty skirts inspo, all that gives me faith that i can do something. even if its just writing a tumblr post, after a week and a half of not postings.

im very weird and idk where i was going with this post to be honest, but i just wanted to say this i guess, idk.

Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.

— William Faulkner.

One day you think: I want to die. And then you think, very quietly, actually I want a coffee. I want a nap. A sandwich. A book. And I want to die turns day by day into I want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friends, I want to sit in the sun. I want a cleaner room, I want a better job, I want to live somewhere else, I want to live.

And when I searched for eternity in the most temporary places, I found melancholy as my forever companion.

"O animal é tão ou mais sábio do que o homem: conhece a medida da sua necessidade, enquanto o homem a ignora."

- Demócrito

[taewalis]

"... E então, penetrou a minha imaginação, como uma rica nota musical, o pensamento de como deveria ser doce descansar em um túmulo. O pensamento chegou suave e furtivamente, e parecia que um longo tempo havia transcorrido antes que conquistasse minha completa apreciação... Então, o universo era apenas silêncio, calmaria e noite."

- Edgar Allan Poe

"Todas as criaturas precisam aprender que existem predadores. Sem esse conhecimento, a mulher será incapaz de se movimentar com segurança dentro de sua própria floresta sem ser devorada. Compreender o predador significa torna-se um animal maduro pouco vulnerável à ingenuidade, inexperiência ou insensatez."

"Embora algumas pessoas preferissem que você se comportasse e não demonstrasse alegria exagerada ao dar as boas-vindas a alguém, faça-o de qualquer jeito. Haverá quem se afaste de você com medo ou repulsa. A pessoa amada irá, porém, valorizar esse sei novo aspecto - se ele ou ela for a pessoa certa para você.

“Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust? God, in pity, made man beautiful and alluring, after his own image; but my form is a filthy type of yours, more horrid even from the very resemblance. Satan had his companions, fellow-devils, to admire and encourage him; but I am solitary and abhorred.”

- From “Frankenstein” by Mary Shelley

And all I loved, I loved alone.

I remained too much inside my head and ended up losing my mind.

- Edgar Allen Poe

[taewalis]

...Pode-se afirmar, sem hesitação, que nenhum evento é tão terrivelmente talhado para inspirar a suprema agonia do corpo e da mente quanto o enterro antes da morte. A insuportável dos pulmões, os sufocantes da terra úmida, os vapores sufocantes das vestes da habitação primária, a treva da noite, o silêncio absoluto como um oceano que o invisível, mas perceptível a presença do Verme Vencedor.   - Edgar Allan Poe

nothing is as tender as annotating your favourite books. it’s like leaving a piece of your heart on the pages for somebody else to find.

It hurts when you know what it feels like to love, but don't know what it feels like to be loved.

I don't want a fucking job I want to be that elegant woman you see studying in the library all day with her cat and a cup of coffee, poring over ancient texts with a maddening half-smile on her face.

sometimes i think about how constellations are an entirely man-made construct and don’t actually exhist inherently in nature. i mean, the universe just gave us stars, and we saw art and myths and stories in them. the capacity that humans have for seeing purpose in the incidental makes me realize just how lonely we are on this planet, desperately searching for meaning elsewhere in the universe.
