I always seem to be falling in and out of the habit, but I greatly enjoy falling into the habit of classic film and literature. I don't enjoy seeming that I find myself superior to others in expressing how much I enjoy the stuff. However, immersing myself in well thought and original media makes me feel better about who I am. I like how I talk and think after a film like Shawshank Redemption. Jane Austen's writings keep my mind at ease. Your blog helps me remember that feeling. Thank you.

What an absolutely gorgeous message! I'm so glad it makes you feel that way 💕
