I don't do anything with my life except romanticize and decay with indecision.

Allen Ginsberg, The Book of Martyrdom and Artifice: First Journals and Poems, 1937-1952

from page 10 of tender buttons by gertrude stein

#learned ab this poem today during class #and im absolutely ENAMORED with it #after reading this poem i kinda think that #the purpose is for the reader to figure out what the poem means to them #rather than what stein was thinking while writing it #or maybe both? or none of these? who knows #but i love it nonetheless #words #my posts #tender buttons by gertrude stein #poetry #gertrude stein #tender buttons #classic poetry

day 23-30 // 30doi

some days i need help summoning my inner strength, and in those times, one of my favorite poets to turn to is Maya Angelou, so i made myself this wallpaper as a reminder to not give up every time i look at my phone.

this week i was supposed to do a trial run of my fresh start challenge but i'm not sure if it's the amount of life admin stuff i needed to catch up on (istg it makes me feel soooo much less like a mess and much less awful about myself now that i've dealt with those tasks), all the movement i wanted to get in this week (i just felt so physically off these past few weeks), or if i was just procrastinating more (i did watch a lot of youtube this week despite removing the app from my phone...some of it while exercising tho!) that made it a struggle to get more than 4h of studying in each day (sometimes even getting to 4h was a struggle 😪). so...idk if this whole 6h of studying / day thing will work but perhaps now that i'll be officially back to school next week, i will feel more compelled to focus on that rather than other things...(for better or for worse 😅)

🌼 study stats (50/10-15):

M: 🌼🌼🌼🌼 T: 🌼🌼🌼🌼 W: 🌼🌼🌼🌼 Th/F: did not feel like counting, but i did study

📰 media on my mind:

one in 10 premature births linked to plastic chemicals

the secret to lasting love might just be knowing how to fight

care school for men (istg THIS needs to be all over the world to equalize the gender gap in domestic work 👏🏻)

you're not a mess: how to journal to *ace* 2024 (can't wait for her video on her bujo setup if/when she makes one! i've been feeling a bit stuck with mine lately and been needing some inspo to...idk, have a system that calms rather than stresses me bc i feel like i just end up making very unrealistic plans no matter what planning method i use 😅)

diaries: schumann (tiffany poon's new album!!! 😍)

clementine - halsey (🎶 i don't need anyone, i just need everyone and then some 🎶)

"i love you"

You were not half as sweet on me as I was on you. You did not stay up late at night or count the flowers that bloomed. From the start, I should have known "I love you" meant more to me than it did to you.

- t.h. ballard

He is quiet and so am I. He sips tea with lemon, while I drink coffee. That's the difference between us. Like me, he wears a wide, striped shirt, and like him, I read the evening paper. He doesn't see my secret glance. I don't see his secret glance. He's quiet and so am I. He asks the waiter something. I ask the waiter something… A black cat walks between us. I feel the midnight of its fur and he feels the midnight of its fur… I don't say to him: The sky today is clear and blue. He doesn't say to me: The sky today is clear. He's watched and the one watching and I'm watched and the one watching. I move my left foot. He moves his right foot. I hum the melody of a song and he hums the melody of a similar song. I wonder: Is he the mirror in which I see myself? And turn to look in his eyes…but I don't see him. I hurry from the café. I think: Maybe he's a killer… or maybe a passerby who thinks I am a killer. He's afraid…and so am I.

'He Is Quiet And So Am I' from diwan Don't Apologize for what you did by Mahmoud Darwish

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

-Robert Frost ‘Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening’ 1922

[text id: e. e. cummings, "[somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond]"

somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond

any experience, your eyes have their silence:

in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me, 

or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look easily will unclose me

though i have closed myself as fingers, 

you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens

(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose

or if your wish be to close me,i and 

my life will shut very beautifully,suddenly,

as when the heart of this flower imagines

the snow carefully everywhere descending;

nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals 

the power of your intense fragility:whose texture

compels me with the colour of its countries,

rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes

and opens;only something in me understands

the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)

nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands
