#i failed miserably

[lotalii]

I overestimated myself. I spent 7 hours on tiktok and I must delete this app again. I am so addicted to it that it's embarrassing. After that canon event took place I HAD A PHYSICAL REACTION TO IT. My head hurt so badly and I was nauseous because of the time I spent on this app scrolling. I guess my brain isn't used to processing so much information and just couldn't handle it anymore. DAMN. That is what addiction is. You do something and just don't care how harmful it is to your body. I will now delete this app and probably make the same mistakes after two months. I didn't expect it to be so terrible.

Why does my brain shut off when the scene has a semblance of emotion in it 😭

Like, the scene isn't emotional like I wanted. It's akward 😭

"I feel less alone when I read. The charters, they make me feel as if they are my family. Is that odd?" Unprompted

4:12 p.m. | @kindrdanne

I remember the evening distinctly. I had just come in from the orchard, and the house was quiet. Pat was off on some errand or other involving the Women’s Institute. And a note was waiting for me on my front porch, as if anyone had been there while I was outside. I didn't know the handwriting but the words that I read felt quite familiar. The person expressed that they felt "less alone" among their books. Asking if it were "odd."

"Preposterous!" I grumbled to the fireplace. Yet, I found myself sitting at my escritoire. There is a certain responsibility one has when a stranger seeks the counsel of a Fellow of the National Lunar Society and annual Winner of the Natioal Poultry Show (which I mention, since this year's award was bigger than usual and I was pleasantly surprised. I wish that I could invite the reader to come see it for themself. Not silver. But gold.)

"My dear young correspondent..." I wrote, about to put my answer in an envelope and hiding it inside my post box in hopes they may find it. But ensuring my penmanship was as disciplined as a military parade. "While I cannot say we have been formally introduced, I feel compelled to address your anxiety. You ask if your attachment to the printed word is odd. Although it most certainly is, I should say it is the only thing about you that strikes me as particularly sensible."

I paused to adjust my spectacles. I felt a strange, fleeting sense of protective pride.

"The characters in a volume," I continued, "do not require one to make polite conversation about the weather, nor do they barge into one’s study at the most inconvenient hours. If you find them to be your "family", or if you find the words that you read to be inspiring to your mind, then you have merely exercised a level of selectivity in your associates that I shall support. Especially in those rather dark times, where finding pleasant conversation with your fellow people is as rare as my Bantam Broodie laying a bad egg. A book, unlike a neighbor, knows when to remain silent."

I blotted the page with a firm, satisfied hand. I felt I had been quite the elder statesman to this unknown person - wondering their age and looks as I folded the paper. I realize I was merely confirming our mutual exile and a thought came to me. Maybe there was someone else in this quiet neighbourhood who felt quite similar to how I felt in that moment. We were two strangers, both trying to build a wall of paper against a world that was already starting to crumble.

So proud of myself I did one whole French assignment after not doing any work in the holidays

challenge level impossible: try not to turn my essay for Polish classes into a gay fanfiction

[minimelodymagic]

Announcement

I sadly won't be able to continue doing the 30 art challenge even though I really wanted to do it I can't continue because I don't have the time. I'm going to very busy this summer I'll barely have any time to post anything I'll try my best to post often as possible. This was a nice experience I really enjoyed doing the art challenge I may have been inexperienced with this but I still had fun I hope I'll be able to do it again.
