good morning. i have been awake for 10 minutes and i am already having an existential crisis
drink your coffee. read your books. it's chaos out there.
" Autumn is my season, dear. It is, after all, the season of the soul. "
- Virginia Woolf

One of the worst feelings has to be when you finish an amazing book and have no one to talk to about it

[ID: A page of a play. It reads as follows, "Theseus: Stop. Give me your hand. I am your friend. / Herakles: I fear to stain your clothes with blood. / Theseus: Stain them, I don't care." End text.]
Herakles - Euripides (Tr. Anne Carson)
December’s immaculate coldness feels warm. December feels like blood.
