Honestly it boils down to reparenting yourself & rewiring your own neuronal pathways & telling yourself a firm “stop” when you notice your mind slipping down negative loopholes & being present in the moment & enjoying being mid task rather than waiting for it to end & not thinking of inertia as your baseline and natural way of living

So tempting to keep embarking on the same self destructive cycle over & over & over again . But at some point you have to put ur foot down w ur own behaviors & be the thing that truly saves u

As far as anyone can tell, it was on this day 200 years ago that Mary Shelley woke from her nightmare and declared:

‘I’ve found it! What will terrify me will terrify others. I need only describe the spectre which had haunted my midnight pillow.’

That spectre inspired her to write Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus. Pictured above is a sketch by Percy Shelley of Lake Geneva, where Mary was staying with both him and Lord Byron at the Villa Diodati. It was Byron who, on a stormy candlelit night, suggested that they each try and write a ghost story.

We also have two volumes of Shelley’s draft of Frankenstein which you can leaf through for free on our website!

can i just say that this growing trend of posts that compile quotes/artwork that are related in topic matter, is so so glorious. i love the mismatched font styles of the screenshots, i love how art in general, over various mediums, gravitates towards certain themes and i don’t know how to word this but i love seeing the impact of the personality/style of different artists on those themes… like having light shone on something and depending on ur position it looks different, is similar to the way different artists/writers/etc’s work hits u slightly differently even when talking about the same thing… does that make sense idk but like it’s a clear representation of how there’ll never be ‘enough’ art or ‘too much’ art and that’s so. wonderful i think
