I found my copy of Shao Baojian’s “Door Forever” while cleaning up! My Literature professor gave this to us last year as a reading assignment.
As always, it has succeeded in shattering my heart into a million pieces.

FUCK. I'm so fucking exhausted

Damn it. I can barely keep my eyes open and it sucks. It. Just. Sucks.
WHY? Because I'm currently working on a paper for my Lit13 class and it's due on Monday. I just have one page done and I have to site my souldces properly
