do you ever think of how. hmm
#🌙.rambles#of how.. painful it is of how.. with how society is it has made many internalize doubt & question sincerity?#but that's just how life is i suppose. there are things that#we can never be sure of. if we'll live through to see the next day or come up with a sickness or#meet someone new or experience something drastic#life is so unpredictable isn't it?#& then.. with people. never know if you may just fall out of love the next day. or be estranged from your family or stop talking to a friend#are the words you hear genuine or do they come with doubt or are they not thought through much? honestly we may never know for sure#but i've always been someone that wants to believe. i want to hope. and i do i really do#how bitterswet and endless is the space within silence.. the infinite nature of possibilities are both comforting and distressing.#which is why. vulnerability in a safe place or intimacy or honesty or sincerity or whatever just. means so much to me#you see it in the little deeds people do for others in each day. each unprompted act of help or kindness.#people of the past may have very little idea of how much they've influenced others way after their own time.#people of the present too.. and there's also just how. the world is in constant motion.#i love being with nature so much. feeling the beat of my heart so keenly and listening to my thoughts.#you can hear so much.. and see how everything around you is at motion. and within you too.#i say this after i finish dinner i'm just sitting down in my chair at the dining room. with my legs up as usual on the seat.#and then with all my little movements and habits i know them so well. of course i do.. they're mine after all.#my thoughts genuinely wandered again wait.#i really. really want to read more virginia woolf bcs i think i'll enjoy her style with stream-of-consciousness very much.#but oh i'm thinking too of how.. i genuinely just. seriously still want to be seen too. to be known and understood and wanted.#i don't know what i'm writing rn wait i just ate ice cream#but how do i say this.. i have a feeling i know who wrote that anonymous ask this morning but i hate to assume okay 😭#thinking more of it now though n it really does make me happy.#phew thurs to sat was rlly smth tho 🥹 thurs i genuinely nearly fainted n then fri was.. yeah n. yeah. not all yh bcs i was v happy too but#yk that took a toll on me still :^) n now i still miss a lot i'm still dreaming but there's always more to look forward to#just have to. remind myself of that. n that i can't do everything just on my own too. so.. in time. in time.#i'll remember & write. so thank you

ah shit twas bc I was at my uncles over the weekend and didn't see!! here we are: 1, 2, 4, 12, 13, 16, 17, 19 ;), 22, 24
thank you !! noble soul
1. how many books did you read this year?
42 that I finished! a few more that I did not
2. any books you reread?
I reread aristotle & dante discover the secrets of the universe because I wanted to prepare for the sequel
4. did you discover any new authors you loved this year?
I'd only read another country by james baldwin and this year I read three more books by him, so not new but definitely more intensely
12. books that disappointed you
I already said one but actually I will also add ari & dante 2 because I just remembered how disappointing it was.
13. least favourite books of the year
- the bitch doctrine, laurie penny
- the book of longings, sue monk kidd
- behind her eyes, sarah pinborough (the most genuinely, laugh out loud suddenly in a twist ending homophobic book I have ever read)
16. most over-hyped book you read this year
normal people by sally rooney. I don't think I need to explain
17. surprisingly good books?
calypso by david sedaris really stayed with me just because, like, I really dislike david sedaris as a person based on his books but I got calypso on a whim and I really enjoyed it even though I still think he's a bad person
19. did you use your library card? ( ;) )
yes, I used your library card... collectively, toronto, indianapolis, and berlin keep me in books and my name is on none of those cards. thanks for being my plug for the tpl
24. DNF's?
oh I started a million books I didn't finish unfortunately. still working on retour à reims and moby dick. stalled out in the absolute book by elizabeth knox and jonathan strange and mr norrell, which I also have every intention of finishing 😭 I'm about a quarter of the way through ancestor trouble by maud newton, not sure if I'll finish that... won't finish how should a person be by sheila heti because it was atrocious. uhh true story by danielle j. lindemann also quite stupid, won't be finishing that, the poppy wars by r. f. kuang... definitely going to return to jacob's room by virginia woolf... mess
