“Get scared. It will do you good. Smoke a bit, stare blankly at some ceilings, beat your head against some walls, refuse to see some people, paint and write. Get scared some more. Allow your little mind to do nothing but function. Stay inside, go out - I don’t care what you’ll do; but stay scared as hell. You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.”

~ from Albert Camus, Notebooks: 1935-1951

This is my only New Year's Resolution for 2024. I'm not a smoker, so I will substitute coffee for that part. Occasionally absinthe.

UPDATED: (1) Selfie in front of Gallery Espresso on Chippewa Square in Savannah, Georgia (2) My new tattoo on my left inner forearm (February 2024): “only connect,” the epigraph of Howards End by my favorite writer E.M. Forster, and really the theme of all his novels (including Maurice, my favorite novel). Typewriter font. Inked by James Tuck.

I’m officially an Edgar Allan Hoe after getting a tattoo based on his poem “The Raven”.

I first read the poem in middle school and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since. I’ve been dreaming of getting this tattoo for years and now I finally have it 🖤

New tattoo on my left inner forearm: “only connect,” the epigraph of Howards End by my favorite writer E.M. Forster, and really the theme of all his novels (including Maurice, my favorite novel). Typewriter font. Inked by James Tuck.

“Only connect! That was the whole of her sermon. Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer. Only connect, and the beast and the monk, robbed of the isolation that is life to either, will die.”

“I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I  am, I am, I am.”

—Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar, Chapter 20, 1963

…

“I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn’t quite make out. I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn’t make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.”

–Sylvia Plath,The Bell Jar, Chapter Seven, 1963

But in all honest, I believe there is always a reason – and a bright side. A domino effect does occur whether you want it to or not. Living means learning and teaching all at once. And the more people talk about it, the more we’ll learn from each other – in the same way I’m learning from my clients.

Fine Line: "We'll be alright."

There is something so cathartic about this line that at every listen, it feels like a good stab that my heart needed so that I could finally set every troubling emotion I've been straining to keep free.

The song begins with sentimental guitar strings—as if it is a small triggering memory that spins emotionally and necessarily out of control. Then, the instrumentation gets louder and intense and overwhelming... drums, sirens, trumpets... and towards the end of it all, Harry promises: we'll be alright.

[sol-air]

top 5 poems or quotes that make you go insane? :3c

Idk if they make me go insane. But they are ones that stuck with me, whether it hit me hard or just cracked me the fuck up.

1. The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T.S Eliot - a phenomenal poem that encapsulates the feeling of spiraling with anxiety. Fav quote from the poem “do I dare to eat a peach, do I dare disturb the universe”

2. “Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt” from Slaughterhouse V by Kurt Vonnegut

3. The opening chapter of Breakfast of Champions, also by Kurt Vonnegut. Cannot for the life of me find the book, but he goes on to say how many of the worlds countries and America especially is just ruled by monkeys wearing suits. Always a nice chuckle

4. “This bitch has mosquito tits” from Princess Jellyfish… where the women “live without use for men” and the best friend of the mc happens to be a cross dresser but is assumed to be a woman by the others living in the community building. Both in the dub and sub it says something like this and it kills me every time

5. “Somebody do something even if it’s stupid” - just something people in my family say when people around them are idling about, especially at 4 way stops and people just don’t know how to drive.

Honorable mention “so it goes” - common phrase used by Kurt Vonnegut in his books whenever unfair and unjust things happen. (If you can’t tell I like to read Vonnegut a lot)

#this was fun! I am really bad at keeping track of quotes and literary things so a lot of this was me going around my apartments and finding #my old books and just re-reading. the slaughterhouse V one has stuck with me for ages and I plan on getting it tattooed #same with the prufrock quote. idk where I’d get that though #wanted to include Douglas adams quotes but there’s so many I couldn’t narrow it down lol
