I was born in the UK, raised in New Zealand, and now live in the US

I definitely romanticise life as much as possible and I think every situation can be positive if you look at it correctly <3

I am driven by the desire to be a renaissance woman ( ๑‾̀◡‾́)✨

This is such a sad lullaby. Who would want this music box fixed?

Girlhood is romanticising pausing your studies in order to become a teacher (because PhDs are expensive, there is a lack of funding, and I come from a poor, working class family) by comparing yourself to Anne Shirley

the aeneid and the odyssey are literally sister texts in terms of their relationship to the homeland. in the odyssey, home is something that you had in your past that you are dying to return to. it is nostalgia, the pain of being away from what is familiar and you are so so exhausted and why won't the gods just let you return. but in the aeneid, home is a spectre. troy has already burned before aeneas' eyes he's already tried to die for his homeland so many times. but at every turn the gods tell him no, home is in some distant faraway land a mirage just out of reach. aeneas just wants to go home but every step he takes brings him further from the man he was when he left his city. home in the odyssey lies in the tangible past, whereas home in the aeneid is in the future defined by memories of fire. i have no idea if any of this is coherent but i'm sooooo normal about this

i love the phrase 'platonic sex' because plato Hated sex. captial H Hated. like he made it everyone's problem (especially alcibiades' problem through socrates self-insert). like what do you mean platonic sex. plato didn't have sex.

studying classics is kinda crazy ngl. one minute my friend and i are laughing about how the city diyonisia would have been such a good time and then i have a suddenly have an existential crisis remembering that this all went down over two thousand years ago and all these complex stories about misery, yearning, romance, greed, pride, intellect and peace perfectly show that the human hasn’t changed in essence since the dawn of time, and how the words of some old greek bloke in a dress could comfort, challenge, resonate with and destroy my little 21st century life without even being able to write them down. and all before 11:30 on a tuesday.

We may be 3000 years apart but clearly the emotions that we feel are so similar. Girl hood isn't just something that connects me to others across the globe, but across time clearly.

The feelings she expresses through her writing: GIRL ME TOO. And I'm sure her and I both have words that came out as tears.
