Yes yes yeesss

would anyone be down to actually have an academic group. where we could actually share poetry (either ones of our own creations or ones previously written), share what books we’re currently reading, and perhaps read the same book together. but also we could be best friends and hang out like teenagers do and be f*cking weird.

idk. just a concept...

“He’s more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same”

Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights (1847).

You go home and invent a story about me, and now you can't separate me from the person you've imagined me to be. You call that, I suppose, being in love; as a matter of fact it's being in delusion.

Virginia Woolf, Night and Day

Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

[mysticalflowerdonutpeanut]

Sad and pathetic

Do not recall the faded time

And if this is fate

Present unknown,

If I ever find my way,

Like Theseus in fiery times

The wire was meant,

Ambrosia of gold will quench thirst

My soul.

sometimes you just have to read absolute nonsense, shirtless, while blasting classical music.
