Everytime My Seasonal Depression Kicks In I Feel Like Persephone's Mother Watching Her Decend To Hades,

medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits, and necessary to sustain life.

but poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

-John Keating; Dead Poets Society

“...the stars always shine brighter reflected in your eyes...”

We are but wayward leaves, scattered to the air by an indifferent wind.

Over the Garden Wall (2014) 🍁🍂🎃🍂🍁

When I realised that changing myself for anyone wasn’t necessary and only made me waste my own energy I decided to stop that. After that it shows how they don’t need you anymore. And that’s what I changed in 2021. I want to do what I want. I don’t want the ‘what if someone judges me?’ mindset. I want to read books, get enthusiastic about history, watch movies all alone. Society doesn’t want me to watch movies alone? Good for society, I don’t care anymore. I want to live my life the best way only I can imagine. I want to be there for the people I truly love. That’s the whole thing this year and I’ll keep that up.

bookstore cats...the cutest!

What really gets me is when you're reading a book and the chapter labels have, like, vines or floral details around them or something. it makes me so soft - just- the fact that someone was like 'ooh we can add beauty here, we totally should' and they did it
