“An honorable human relationship — that is, one in which two people have the right to use the word “love” — is a process, delicate, violent, often terrifying to both persons involved, a process of refining the truths they can tell each other. It is important to do this because it breaks down human self-delusion and isolation. It is important to do this because in doing so we do justice to our own complexity. It is important to do this because we can count on so few people to go that hard way with us. It isn’t that to have an honorable relationship with you, I have to understand everything, or tell you everything at once, or that I can know, beforehand, everything I need to tell you. It means that most of the time I am eager, longing for the possibility of telling you. That these possibilities may seem frightening, but not destructive, to me. That I feel strong enough to hear your tentative and groping words. That we both know we are trying, all the time, to extend the possibilities of truth between us. The possibility of life between us.”
— Adrienne Rich, from On Lies, Secrets & Silence (via violentwavesofemotion)

A new coffee bean just opened and I just love the interiors and the lighting! And it’s just right across from where I live. Finally, a new study place! Idk why but I’m not a huge fan of their coffee though.
I will be trying my best to be active again. I’m now in my 3rd year of law school. I started my studyblr during my first year and it has helped me de-stress from my law school life.
Super duper thankful of the upperclassmen and seniors who willingly share their notes with us! You are the real MVPs! Wouldn’t survive law school without you guys!

3.12.2020 gloomy days
i've seen this sometimes so i told myself yeah, why not. most of this are chaotic academia but still :)
dark/chaotic academia in my life:
waits for everyone to fall asleep and then opens the window and writes in the moonlight
no blood in their veins, just coffee and tea
writes letters at 2am
switches between hozier and dubstep
wastes hours while studying and then wonders why they always finish studying on late
greek gods as vines
is studying but than starts wondering about their next story
studies everywhere but not on the desk
sleep schedule? what is a sleep schedule
100 books to read but it's always "no i need more books"
pressed flowers between novels
homemade bookmarks
their life without candles would be a mistake
lights their room only with small lamps
wants to dress DA but always ends in black and white clothes
messy as fuck
poetry + badwords (chaotic academians only)
lies on the balcony and wonders about life
"shit i have the exam in four days i need to study" and ends up wasting the whole day claiming they "know almost everything, btw can study the night before the exam day"
selfish but not that much, just focused on writing, reading and their 2 friends
sniffs books
wants to take care about their mental health but ends watching the dead poet society
wants to take care about their mental health but then they remember they write
kills the best character they have ever created in the most suffering way possible
tons of jewelry
dirty glasses always
has 5 subject to study but ends up learning spainish on duolingo
watches their social life falling in the most passive way remembering they always had two friends while listening to achilles comes down and getting ready to read jane austen
empty cups everywhere
"what an amazing day to burn a church"
"what an amazing day to poison my aunt"
relates their relatives to book characters
wikipedia's list of cospiracy theories stan
starting desiring to take an horse, their lover, their books and run away from their family
still in love w the version they created in their mind of someone they met last summer because he was intelligent loved rock music and astronomy and they imagined a relationship with him doing stuff like reading together while laying in the grass
no insta because is antisocial
always goes to the royal palace of their town
books and sheets ruined by tears
sheets with coffee spots
black ink everywhere
tries to have a diary but it's just a notebook filled with flowers, pics, quotes, and pages with reflections about literally everything
scribbled books
it’s a very greek idea, and a very profound one.
