"A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language."

— W.H Auden

— Louise Glück

unpopular opinion but I absolutely love books that are clearly used Dog eared pages and creased spines and handwritten notes in the margins it's like every person who ever read that one book left a part of themselves in it and isnt the whole point of literature to reach and touch it's audience? to influence them? a beat up book shows the connection between the story and the reader it shows how well loved the book is and i think that's absolutely beautiful like it's ok to leave a mark on something, especially if that something is a form of art

OKAY BUT LOVE CONFESSIONS IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE IS SUCH AN UNDERRATED TROPE

LIKE THEY THINK THEYRE BEING MADE FUN OF BUT REALLY ITS A LOVE CONFESSION AND THEY JUST DONT KNOW IT YET

'The heart has no tears to give, – it drops only blood, bleeding itself away in silence.'

— Uncle Tom's Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe

Are you “enemies to lovers” fucked up or “found family” fucked up?

Afternoon and my obsession for maps (check)

People think intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them bare and their response is 'You're safe with me' - that's intimacy.

cozy weather and some nice books

Dark academia is the aesthetic for people who:

Had a tense emo phase that matured into dark academia

Had an unhealthy Harry Potter obsession and now hates J. K. Rowling

Played games revolving around mythical creature as a child

Was able to read at an adult level at age 8 and spent their childhood reading

Did some solo exploring while visiting friends in Boston and found this little book shop near one of the gardens. I guess I live in this alley now?

The world was hers for the reading. x
