And no I don’t think love ever leaves because it’s been eight years since my dad died and he is in every thought and hope and dream. and when I think I can’t fix the computer he is here. and when I eat chocolate cake he is here. and when the sun glows at 3pm he is here. and he will always be here because his life made mine, and my life will be his epilogue

No one was kidding when they said how good this book is - and Fantasy really isn't my usual genre. I had no plans on buying it just before visiting Oxford but I picked it up in a bookshop I hadn't planned on going to before I left and haven't put it back down.

10.11.23
It's been a whole year. I'd almost forgotten my tumblr even existed. I'd deleted all the social media I owned but soon I found myself bored. I studied reaction mechanisms, watched philosophical lectures, added and multiplied, differentiated and integrated until my mind was officially a mess. My room is dirty too, I haven't cleaned it much.
I have a lot of things on my mind, 6 months are left for my big exam. We have a week's holiday (starting today) and I'm already overwhelmed with the amount of studying I have to do, I have no concrete plans to finish it yet.
The happy part is, today it rained and the nights are colder :)

May is coming to an end!!! (panik!)
Hi, hello. I’m back and it’s almost June. I’m in my second gap year *sigh*, I’m expecting around 410/720 in NEET. It’s sort of pathetic, I know. Weirdly enough, I feel even more motivated and confident that this time around I’ll crack it! I wish I’d worked harder but all I can do now is prepare for next year.
My parents have really been on the edge, more anxious than me. I can understand their…

Hi, welcome to my first official blog post (sort of) + tbr list
My first post was a book review of ‘Small Things like These’ by Claire Keegan but I haven’t really been active after that. I’ve spent most of my time studying and being fascinated by horror. I watched ‘The Haunting of Hill House’ (10/10 btw) and ‘Ouija: Origin of Evil’ (meh) with my brother and I have to say, Hill House is probably the only good horror TV show that I have ever watched. I don’t…

Do you ever stop to think that you might be turning into a terrible person? Maybe you’re doing everything wrong, maybe you’re doing life wrong and all your decisions are just echoes of the potential that you crushed and trampled over, all that’s left is everything that could’ve been. How do you get up from there? Everything feels like running in circles and facing yourself again only to fall down…

Portrait of of me?(2)
Words. Words are all I have to offer. Promises I don’t know if I’ll keep, people I don’t know I truly care for, Places I only feel nice about for seconds before the feeling is gone. The only memory I have are the words. Words that wandered into my mind and flew into nothingness. What are feelings anyway? Have I truly felt anything? How do I know I’ve truly felt something unless I feel it forever?…

I studied a lot more than usual, feeling almost satisfied with myself. As usual, I close my laptop after staring into it all day and walk around the room. People don’t talk enough about what it feels like, to spend all day or week glued to a screen and then spend a few hours outside of it. I like to call it a ‘brain crash’. As I walked around the room, feeling awkward and stupid, it felt as…

I’ll go about my day normally but every so often, something irksome will happen to set me off.
The house feels peaceful when no one is occupying it other than me. I like waking up to quiet mornings, drinking my coffee while listening to music and locking my room, turning all the lights off and closing my eyes as I shower, letting the water wash away every one of my worries. It is the closest I…

Small Things Like These- Claire Keegan
Small Things Like These- Claire Keegan
Strong and powerful, sharp. I remember thinking to myself how a book so tiny could be nominated for the booker prize as I clutched onto it promptly, looking forward to a quality experience. Making my way out of the bookstore, I looked up the unfamiliar author. Keegan is an Irish writer, famous for her short stories and winner of numerous accolades. Born in Wexford, 1968, Keegan grew up on a farm,…

Kafkaesque is my favorite word in the dictionary. There’s something about the hopelessness of absurdity, the bottomless pit of schedules and control and manipulation, something about life in general that is so inherently nightmarish and illogical. And I’d say that the word Kafkaesque sums it all up as perfectly as you can ask for.

I remember someone on here saying zoomers treat teachers the way boomers treat retail workers and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since. Seriously, some people act like teachers are servants for their students and take “the customer is always right” mentality and turn it into “the student is always right”, when no, they’re not, especially when the attitude of some students boils down to, “I can’t believe this bitch Karen expects me to actually show up to class, read these texts, and analyze them 🙄 I’m going to speak to the manager email the department chair if you hold me accountable for missing class and not turning in work all semester”

Portrait of me?
The picture I use on the front page is of Akane Minagawa from Scum’s wish. On the surface, she is a gentle, beautiful and popular teacher but as one tears away the facade, her narcissistic tendencies become clear as day. She is obsessed with the idea of men swooning over her and uses other characters to have her way. She does eventually confront her past and fall in love with the right person and…

And then there's me who wears a mask just to hide my face lmao
weirdos who are harping on about ~covid tyranny~, still, in november 2022, are absolutely on a different planet. look around! you won! no one wears a mask and you dont have to either! you dont have to get vaccinated! no one is even trying to make you anymore! the most vulnerable have been fully forced out of public life so that you can breathe on everyone at cub foods! you got every single thing you want and you’re still crying about “covid nazis” … you are delusional. you are tripping. the dynamic you have created in your mind, in which you are a rebellious scion of individual liberty in a world gone mad with excess caution, does not reflect the conditions of reality. it is embarrassing fantasy. there’s nothing more embarrassing than a jerkoff on the winning team who can’t accept a world where they’re not a righteous underdog. as much as you insist that you don’t want to “live in fear,” it is your own obvious terror of changing your behavior that has defined the trajectory of the past three years. please shut the fuck up forever.
