Kate Chopin, from The Awakening

[petaltexturedskies]

The voice of the sea is seductive; never ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring, inviting the soul to wander for a spell in abysses of solitude; to lose itself in mazes of inward contemplation. The voice of the sea speaks to the soul. The touch of the sea is sensuous, enfolding the body in its soft, close embrace.

I am always astounded when I ask a male literature major which writers they like, and they don’t name ANY women …

(Like dude you say you like fucking HEMMINGWAY???? But not, like, oh I don’t know, Rossetti or Plath or Bradstreet or O’Connor or Welty or Woolf or Austen or Alcott or the Brontës or Shelley or Hurston or Dillard or Dickinson or Jackson or Chopin or Gilman or Atwood or Wharton or Angelou or Stowe or Sappho or E. Browning or…—????)

Don’t even get me started… (too late)

There were days when she was very happy without knowing why. She was happy to be alive and breathing, when her whole being seemed to be one with the sunlight, the color, the odors, the luxuriant warmth of some perfect Southern day. She liked then to wander alone into strange and unfamiliar places. She discovered many a sunny, sleepy corner, fashioned to dream in. And she found it good to dream and to be alone and unmolested.There were days when she was unhappy, she did not know why—when it did not seem worth while to be glad or sorry, to be alive or dead; when life appeared to her like a grotesque pandemonium and humanity like worms struggling blindly toward inevitable annihilation

A thousand emotions have swept through me tonight. I don’t comprehend half of them.

海の声が魂に語りかける。海の感触��心地良く、その柔らかさと密接な抱擁で身体を包み込む。

The Awakening by Kate Chopin

“She was becoming herself and daily casting aside that fictitious self which we assume like a garment with which to appear before the world.”

She leaned over and kissed him—a soft, cool, delicate kiss, whose voluptuous sting penetrated his whole being—

Can i get some book recommendations for worsening my depressive episodes please? ☺

Oh my, did you come to the right place. You may have already read Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, but I recommend it anyway. I also recommend The Fall or even The Stranger by Albert Camus. There is a short story titled “Bartleby the Scrivner” by Herman Melville and this one is also really good and depressing. Perhaps Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. Or even the play Our Town by Thornton Wilder. The short story titled “Story of an Hour” is an interesting and sad little piece by Kate Chopin. Or, one of my favorites, the play Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller.

Let me know what you think and if you need anymore. Also, feel better soon ahahah, my dms are always open
