“I believe you spoke with my aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as I’d scarcely allowed myself before. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.”
Pride and Prejudice (2005) dir. Joe Wright

hyperfixating on old media sucks because in order to engage with the community you must risk spoilers. I NEED to see memes. I NEED to see peoples' takes. or my hyperfixation will die a sad and lonely death and I don't want that!!!

“All writing problems are psychological problems. Blocks usually stem from the fear of being judged. If you imagine the world listening, you’ll never write a line. That’s why privacy is so important. You should write first drafts as if they will never be shown to anyone.”
— Erica Jong

i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point

“Words don’t deserve that kind of malarkey. They’re innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they’re no good any more. […] I don’t think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little or make a poem which children will speak for you when you’re dead.”
— Tom Stoppard, “The Real Thing”

— Anne Carson, Penguin Modern Poets 1: If I’m Scared We Can’t Win
[text ID: You could whisper down a well. You could write a letter and keep it in a drawer. You could inscribe a curse on a ribbon of lead and bury it in the ground to lie unread for thousands of years. The point is not to find a reader, the point is the telling itself.]

My friends: talk about how many books they read in a month
My friends (ask me): What about you, read any book recently?
Me (sweating profusely, looking at probably 30 tabs of AO3): Uhm…Do fanfics count?
.
.
I have been reading about four books for a month now and haven’t finished them, yet I read approximately 50-100k words of fanfics every day. Am I weird or am I weird?

It is a weird and jarring thing to realize that your parents are getting old and cannot be held to the same people they were before. Just as we grow and evolve, so do they. But also that they are physically getting old and are not the energetic, active, people who used to run around and do things all the time. They still do it, but slower?
#growing pains#parents getting old#they seriously should not be held to the standards we impose on them as children who don't know how much energy it takes to be adults#let alone parents
