But I refuse to die at the hands of someone's hatred

For this change, is for survival

I was not feeling good and so my PhD supervisor took me for a drive to cheer me up.

If this is not the fruit of all the good things I have done in life, than I don't know what is.

I went home after 11 months and while I was on the flight, trying different settings of the camera; when I captured this picture. And everytime I see it, I feel that cotton balls of the sky are trying to tell me something by letting that light pass as if it was projected from a projector.

Any "Ikigai" fans here?

And being a woman you don't have just the family generational trauma; you have the societal generational trauma as well which by the way every woman has .

Did you also notice that Francesca felt a sapphic tinge towards Michaela ?I surely did notice that. Or maybe I just want to see that. Maybe a new queer romance is steering ?But the way she sttuters reminds me of what Violet said earlier about she felt when she met Francesca's father .. Anyways they have not adopted the book as such; so they can steer the show anyway they want. And now I am simping for Francesca to be a queer rather tham Eloise 😂😂

But I do feel strange,

almost unearthly.

I'll never get used to being alive.

It's a mystery.

Alwyays startled to find I've survived...
