Another Calvocoressi post, I feel a sense of longing/yearning from each line and the nostalgia of the past is eating me alive.

Hey guys, I've been writing (and not finishing) some stuff on AO3, none of it is fanfiction based (sorry to disappoint). I write a lot of vague stuff, which you'll prob notice but I swear I'm trying to improve my writing style! Go give it a read if you'd like, here's the link to one of my new pieces: https://archiveofourown.org/works/55333585

Viet Thanh Nguyen

"The gap between imagining an emotion and feeling it is the distance between empathy and experience. The divide both writer and reader face as empathy brings them closers to others but cannot make them into those others. Empathy cannot turn a son into his father and mother, even if the son is also a father" (page 50-51).

I remember sitting on green fields covered by yellow dandelions, counting each head to sum up how I felt about growing up. The anxiety, I didn't have a word for it then, loomed over my head like a cloud. It never rained, the storm was yet to come, but for a small moment, a tiny blip in the infinite expanse of time, I felt ok. It was summer, the dandelions were blindingly yellow and the sky seemed to never end. Everything was ok.

International Women's Day 3/5

“There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.”

Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey

International Women's Day 2/5

“So the manual for life already existed. It was just that it was already ingrained in everyone’s heads, and there wasn’t any need to put it in writing. The specific form of what is considered an “ordinary person” had been there all along, unchanged since prehistoric times I finally realized.”

Sayaka Murata, Convenience Store Woman

International Women's Day 1/5

“It was proof that I had not always been completely alone in this world. But I think I was also holding on to the loss, to the emptiness of the house itself, as though to affirm that it was better to be alone than to be stuck with people who were supposed to love you, yet couldn’t.”

Ottessa Moshfegh, My Year of Rest and Relaxation

Quotes from some of my favourite women authors to celebrate International Women's Day!

“I can’t think of any greater happiness than to be with you all the time, without interruption, endlessly, even though I feel that here in this world there’s no undisturbed place for our love, neither in the village nor anywhere else; and I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more.”

Franz Kafka, The Castle

"Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly."

Franz Kafka
