choosing to read The Song of Achilles as a Percy-Jackson-induced-Greek-Mythology-Human a week before finals was not a good choice because now I also own The Illiad and now my feed is just Patrochilles and omg I need to know EVERYTHING okay sorry thank you back to macroeconomics

please give me some validation, oh Tumblr gods

[czrnys]

just thinking about how patroclus spent his life thinking he would have to live without achilles because he was fated to die but achilles never thought he would have to live without patroclus, and how they were both so wrong

A person in 2 months can make you feel what a person in 2 years couldn’t. Time means nothing, character does.

having a big cottage in the small town, spending time on the kitchen, cooking dishes from the products which you have bought in the morning on the local market, the smell of the fresh bread, listening to the Rolling Stones after waking up in the morning, having a bedroom with big windows, laying on the big bed and reading books, decorating a house with flowers and cozy things

p.s. all the photos were taken from sites "Westwing Home & Living Italia" and "Condé Nast Traveller Magazine"

lemon meringue tarts are good but they don't beat paris-brests & almond croissants (properly done)
