“Relationships between women don’t have solid rules like those between men,” says the Italian author Elena Ferrante. “I was interested in recounting how a long friendship between two women could endure and survive in spite of good and bad feelings, dependence and rebellion, mutual support and betrayal.”

[theancientmar1ner]

no one has ever described girlhood like elena ferrante. the expectations. the inherent dissatisfaction, with your body, with who you are, or rather who you’re becoming. the competition. being the centre of your universe, viewing everyone pretty much exclusively in relation to yourself. learning not to. beautiful and in sparkling prose and not overly romanticised. i am so emo abt my brilliant friend rn. Elena Ferrante the woman you are.

Parent ego state: "You're getting behind on this [REDACTED THING]. You should be writing."

Writer brain response:

Adult ego state: "Honestly, come on, you genuinely should be writing."

Writer brain response:

Child ego state: "C'mon, you oughta be writing."

Writer brain response:

...Still small voice almost lost in background noise:

"You could always write that bit of smut you've been saving."
