To disregard canon you must first interact with canon

i am so about walking around museums and holding hands

don’t worry about the ‘dies irae’ notes in my leitmotif i’m totally fine

i need more flowers in my life, more natural sweetness. not overly sugary candies and fake perfumes but like…. the scent of a wild field, or rich green forests after a chilled rain, of powerful-tasting fruit and golden lemonade. waiting for the way my life is fresh and real again.

thanks for being here. it’s really nice to have you.

sometimes you just gotta go "man i actually don't give a shit" and keep scrolling. online survival skill 101

I have so much love and respect for women who are honest about their own loneliness but also find the good in it like when audrey hepburn said “I have to be alone very often. I’d be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That’s how I refuel” and when charlotte bronte said “I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself” and when jenny slate said “I think I’ve come to terms with the fact that there will always be a ribbon of loneliness running through who I am. But that’s why I want to do comedy, and why I want to connect with people. You can use that ribbon to be a part of a finer tapestry, or you can choke yourself out with it! Your choice!” and when mary oliver said “whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh & exciting - over & over announcing your place in the family of things”

I can’t overshare because that would be very humiliating but everyone else should overshare because I like to know everything

honestly yall just gotta be comfortable reading books that make you feel stupid

read books that you don't understand. read books where you have to pay attention. read books that make you reread a page eight times to figure it out. read books that you need to take notes on. read books with words you have to google. read books that don't make sense without research on the setting. read books that make you feel stupid because otherwise you'll just be stupid.

This is how I learned to read period novels as a kid. I struggled with getting through Page One and asked my family for advice. They told me to read slowly and keep a dictionary with me, and that it gets easier and goes more quickly with time. Also that you simply may not understand everything as you go, but keep going. Reading the second book by the same author, and rereading the first, gave me more info and understanding than the first time ever. It builds, slowly. You build your skills. And yes, it feels good, over time.

be careful who u choose to love
