Leave the man alone
one of the most challenging skills i've had to learn as an adult is the art of figuring out whether i'm proportionally annoyed with someone or just tired and overstimulated and looking for reasons to be pissed off
basically a lot of my problems boil down to me being really bad at waking up. and also really bad at going to sleep

I'm re-reading Demian by Hermann Hesse.

dostoyevsky kinda ate with “your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing.”
This new ad campaign from Penguin appeals to those of us who think beat-up, torn, taped, scribbled-upon books are more appealing than pristine ones. I wondered if the books photographed here were found as is, or lovingly distressed by the art director, then I saw the small print in the lower right of each ad, which suggests they were found that way.

i saw a quote that said “i feel like i’m constantly worrying about the next part of my life without realizing that i’m right in the middle of what i used to look forward to.” and i felt that.
