Window to My Soul

They say the eyes are the window to the soul. I don't think that's correct. I believe that what we create shows what is etched upon our souls, and shows far more about us than most would care to admit. You can call me J. I am an aspiring author, a little bit random, and have an odd thing for yarn. And Harry Potter. I support LOVE, in any way shape or form. I respect anyone who respects me. Welcome to my Soul.

I feel like 99% of the community loves it then there’s me 😅

the worst thing about writing is that you aren’t just a writer. you have to be a thousand things. a poet, a flirt, a weapons expert, a bleeding heart, a scholar, a legendary cook, a theorist, an engineer, a reckless teenage girl, a dying god. you have to be able to write monologues and speeches and heartfelt confessions, and you have to make them believable. writing is putting yourself into someone else’s shoes.

writing is really hard (◕︿◕✿)

#AND I LOVE IT

[danielkanhai]

i’m not against vaping, but man, vaping two inches from my face on the subway is a ridiculous asshole kind of move. this dude was billowing like he was auditioning for the role of haunted house fog machine. the humidity in the whole car changed, he was ruining haircuts. just jump starting the water cycle. condensation was dripping down my glasses. people were slipping off poles, it was chaos. it was like watching one man try to terraform the moon. a planet with one dense, root beer scented atmosphere blocking out the sun and choking all life.

What she says: I'm fine

What she really means: My inferior Fe is so incredibly undeveloped that I am terrified of communicating absolutely anything emotional, due to both crippling insecurity as to the importance of said emotions and the sheer inability of controlling my emotional output. I find myself shutting said emotions up so that I never have to deal with them, yet in an environment where honesty is enforced and emotional responses required to be believed, I often fake what is actually going on inside of my head because I believe my actual thoughts too inconsequential to be dealt with. In addition, not only is this extremely taxing on my emotional health but I have become accustomed to hiding said emotional imbalance behind a thick mask of nonchalance, chill, and intense sarcasm so as to seem mentally stable also I'm always tired

I remember in my medieval philosophy class my professor once mentioned that silent reading wasn’t always the norm and that rather people would read outlouad typically. One of the most well known examples of this is in Augustine’s Confessions where he remarks that he was astonished at how Ambrose of Milan would read books silently and without moving his lips or mouth at all. It wasn’t that people didnt have the ability to read silently like people would be aware if a situation called for them to read the contents quietly such as a politician or general recieving a letter with sensitive information. The point rather is that in those cases the person would intentionally will themselves to read quietly and if you were going to sit down and read a book or scroll the default was that you would read it out loud so someone that read silently as their norm would be seen as ‘odd’. And by ‘odd’ I dont mean that people thought they were a freak or stupid just that it was a strange quirk. 

As a matter of fact reading silently might’ve been seen as a sign that someone was an incredibly heavy reader such as with Ambrose. The reason being that one of the reasons vocalized reading was the norm had to do with how people wrote texts like it was pretty common for there to be irregularities with the script or especially that it was highly common for writings tonothavespacesinbetweenwordssoreadingoutloudfeltlikeamorenaturalasawaytomakeouttheindividualwords. An incredibly ‘veteran’ reader like Ambrose (Augustine also mentions Ambrose could read quickly) might develop mental shortcuts letting them more easily pick part the individual words that had been squished together and in doing so simply gradually drop the habit of reading out loud because it wasnt an aid to them any longer. In Latin Europe this changed when Irish monks in the late 7th century developed the practice of writing with more uniform letters as well as separating different words by leaving blank spaces between them. This slowly spread to the rest of Latin Europe (at least with the monastaries) until it finally became the norm in the 12th century, just in time for the explosive importation of scientific and philosophical literature from the Arabic world which was nice.

Anyway back to before that happened, something my professor said that was pretty interesting was that that if you stepped into a medieval library before this change ocurred is that youd be struct by how much talking was seeming to go on the monks read to themselves. That combined with the fact that the expensive nature of books often meant might could be attached to chains meant that a medieval library would be have a continuous din of murmuring and rattling metal which is interesting imagery for a library.

John Holbo wrote some stuff about this a while back that was pretty interesting

Let me live somewhere in a misty forest, where I can walk barefoot upon the mossy earth, where I can hear the faeries whisper haunting tunes, where I can have many animal babies to love, where I can plant my own little garden, where I can dance under the full moon’s light and love, and where I can finally feel my spirit at peace.

Sagrada Família, Spain  41.40364,2.174478  [link]

[literary-potato]

Sagrada Familia is one of my favorite things ever. Not only is it a basilica that looks like the offspring of Rivendell and a Dr. Seuss book, it’s still not finished. That’s how incredibly detailed and complex it is. They’ve been working on it since 1882, and it’s not projected to be finished until 2026.
