Spring date idea 🌸🌿
A rainy morning, museum or bookstore or library and after the rain subsides, sitting under the sun at an outdoor cafe.

Bumblebees, according to our standards of aerodynamics, should not be able to fly. Yet they can. These chunky, fuzzy guys who often sleep in flowers are little pieces of proof that no matter how much we figure out of our world, there will always be more magic to discover. Welcome, new tattoo (by @millie.ink).

Writing is rather a shush to the sparse thoughts of my very existence, than it is to convey out loud on paper, through concerning consistence, whatnot I live, bearing of you.

لا يمكنك مقارنة الأحزان ببعضها لكل شخص ألمه الخاص لكل شخص طريقته في التعامل مع ما يشعر به.
You cannot compare sorrows. Every individual has their own pain, Everyone has their own way of dealing with what they feel.

“We write for the same reason that we walk, talk, climb mountains or swim the oceans – because we can. We have some impulse within us that makes us want to explain ourselves to other human beings.” – Maya Angelou

If you buy a lot of books and end up not liking some of them very much, can I suggest checking them out from your library first?
I worked in bookstores for a long time, and of course lots of my paycheck went directly back into the store. I've ended up "weeding" a lot of those books and donating them to different places just because I knew I wasn't ever going to read them again.
Now I'm a librarian, and I'm realizing just how much money I'm saving by checking books out FIRST. Maybe I check something out and I end up DNF'ing it within 50 pages. Maybe I check something out and I enjoy it, but not enough to read it again. Maybe I check something out and I really love it, but it freaked me out so bad it's tattooed on the inside of my eyeballs and I won't need to read it again (Drew Magary's The Hike, I'm looking in your direction).
Or maybe I check something out and I love it! And then I go buy a copy to own because I know I'll reread it, probably with a pen to mark up the margins in a way I know I can't with a library book!
Idk man. If you want to be more intentional with the way you spend your money, if you want to combat the commercialization of the publishing industry, if you hate that authors are being forced to do all their own marketing on TikTok and that readers are feeling shame about not purchasing and finishing literal hundreds of books per year... Maybe start by going to your local library. You can still post haul photos of library books without spending a dime.
