#pistorius

This is my Pistorius design btw

ahem. hello

bonus:

1) wow i relate to this A LOT. especially with whole growing up in Christian household, questioning your identity and purpose in this life, and all sorts of psychological obstacles sinclair has to overcome

2) one thing i don't relate to is having people in your life that you're able to identify with and talk about your dreams and literature and self-realization/awareness and things like fate and all these topics that show up in the book

3) emil sinclair bi king

that's just a few of my quick opinions on the book, i will most likely talk a lot about it here in the future :)

The Shepherd

“This was the general drift of our conversations. They rarely confronted me with anything completely new, anything altogether astonishing. But everything, even the most ordinary matters, resembled gentle persistent hammer blows on the same spot within me; all of them helped me to form myself, all of them helped to peel off layers of skin, to break eggshells, and after each blow I lifted my head a little higher, a little more freely, until my yellow bird pushed its beautiful raptor’s head out of the shattered shell of the terrestrial globe.”

— Demian: The Story of Emil Sinclair’s Youth, Hermann Hesse
