Is this how it’s going to be for the rest of our lives? Time dissolving into thick dark fog, things that happened last week seeming years ago and things that happened last year feels like yesterday

I adore messy annotations.

A page suffocated by scrawls, scribbles, lines, arrows, circles, highlights, all near illegible. As though the reader couldn’t contain those thoughts. They were overpowered by emotions and ideas. A ruler-less underline because you read that quote and the pen couldn’t be in your hand any quicker. Scribbled sentences that require the book to be turned upside down or on its side to be read again. Exclamation marks, because you’re at loss for words and the author said it best. Books of mine start with ruled lines and perfect hand writing, but by the end are sometimes too messy to be reread. I find messy annotations the most beautiful, the most intimate.

I read what I wish I wrote,

And I write what I'd never read.

Love how in classic literature, authors spend three pages describing a street whilst casually mentioning the death of the protagonist in one line.

Don't be fooled by effortlessly perfect outcomes, unnecessarily advertised.

They usually hide behind opaque fences,

In a garden of failures and sweat.

The feminine urge to go buy second hand books that you've never heard of.

You can use it as a template and add whatever you want in between. Futu-ți *insert whatever you want* mă-tii.

other languages don't even have futu-ți morții ma-tii. sad for them

I haven't seen this mentioned around so I will bring it into the attention of others, with the intent of generating discussions.

Daisy & Billy's romance tryout is unnatural and, frankly, unnecessary.

This is the human longing of a life that doesn't have you stuck in a loop of only fulfilling your basic needs; but wanting to get lost in what life should actually be about. Life should be about getting more in touch with yourself, with your pleasures with the things you want to explore; without feeling that in order to do the latter you have to take time and resources from the former.

Some times I wish I could just abandon life and live in a small cottage in the woods with nothing but books I'd write myself for entertainment

“Whatever you describe to another person is also a revelation of who you are and who you think you are. You can not describe anything without betraying your point of view, your aspirations, your fears, your hopes. Everything.”

OR a book. aNy book

Most attractive thing a man can do is buy you a romance book.

*completes a book that totally ruined me* *takes deep breath* *eyes still glossy* **this was the best book I've ever read**

I found this book second hand for 4 euro. I knew nothing about it but something told me to get it. Was it the mystery in the title? Was it the first sentence of the Prologue that told me exactly who dies? Was it the yellow pages that drew me in l? I don't know, but what I know is that I don't regret it.

I can't believe I trusted a TikTok video recommending The Song of Achilles. I still think about how bad that book is.
