You’d think that once you finally get long term access to a cat and your yearning to have cat access is fulfilled that you’d become slightly less obsessed with seeing people’s cats but no if anything it gets worse

But I’m a creek. I’m a weird flow.

nobody even knows how normal i am on account of my being obviously crazy

yes teenage girls can be dramatic and wild but honestly have u ever even seen what happens when u tell a grown man ‘no’

explained to an 8 year old that once a fruit is ripe you only have so much time until it rots so you have to eat it soon and she said so i'll never be able to keep it perfect like this forever? no and there are about a million pieces of art for you unrelatedly

"Even if the books have remained the same (though they do change, in the light of an altered historical perspective), we have most certainly changed, and our encounter will be an entirely new thing. Hence, whether we use the verb 'read' or the verb 'reread' is of little importance. Indeed, we may say: 4) Every rereading of a classic is as much a voyage of discovery as the first reading. 5) Every reading of a classic is in fact a rereading. Definition 4 may be considered a corollary of this next one: 6) A classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say. Whereas definition 5 depends on a more specific formula, such as this: 7) The classics are the books that come down to us bearing upon them the traces of readings previous to ours, and bringing in their wake the traces they themselves have left on the culture or cultures they have passed through (or, more simply, on language and customs). All this is true both of the ancient and of the modern classics. If I read the Odyssey I read Homer’s text, but I cannot forget all that the adventures of Ulysses have come to mean in the course of the centuries, and I cannot help wondering if these meanings were implicit in the text, or whether they are incrustations or distortions or expansions. When reading Kafka, I cannot avoid approving or rejecting the legitimacy of the adjective 'Kafkaesque,' which one is likely to hear every quarter of an hour, applied indiscriminately. If I read Turgenev’s Fathers and Sons or Dostoevsky’s The Possessed, I cannot help thinking how these characters have continued to be reincarnated right down to our own day. The reading of a classic ought to give us a surprise or two vis-à-vis the notion that we had of it. " - Italo Calvino, Why Read the Classics?, via The New York Review (translated by Patrick Creagh)

when i say im good at something i mean i suck slightly less at it than the other things i suck at
