two hobbits in a trenchcoat

its probably a normal sign for the economy that all of my adulthood fantasies are like "imagine having your own kitchen living room and bathroom to decorate" "what if i could get on a train" "maybe one day i could purchase a sturdy pair of shoes" "i should save and invest in a single bicycle"

crazy how i find myself thinking i've got a handle on it all finally and then i see the ways that other people tangle their lives together so easily and live so easily together with their friends and i feel like that girl at the top of the stairs painting by norman rockwell

I forgot to lock in at 4 years old!!! life ruined

jane eyre specifically is so crazy because the thing that makes jane decide that she can be with mr rochester in a partnership that is truly one of equals is that she gains a ton of money and he loses his eyesight and his house and his money and his reputation. THAT'S what it takes to bring them to a level of equality. and it also fully isn't true like.......she is still trapped!!!! she escapes the trap and is free and never has to set foot in the trap again and she willingly steps back into the trap and insists she's not trapped at all. it's crazyyyyyyyy
