Ya'll ever go, "fuckin' hell, I know this smell!" and it's the smell of a February evening from 2017 ?

I lied I don’t like sex. Put your clothes back on. Let’s discuss Dostoevsky.

“Can you see it, darling?”

when i am in a fainting competition and my opponent is raskolnikov

I will marry anyone who buys me all of Dostoevsky's books.

everyone talks a lot about suffering and despair as it pertains to Dostoevsky’s work which is totally fair and understandable given the subject matter but I rarely see discussion of how deeply and sacredly tender the end of C&P is. I think there’s a very important lesson to be learned which is that you do not unilaterally get to decide that you are horrid beyond redemption and unworthy of love, no matter what horrible things you’ve done. Sonya and Razumikhin and Dunya do not abandon Rodya as he thinks they should and in fact they uproot their entire lives to make sure there will still be a place for him in the world when he gets out of prison. Other people have free will and they can use that free will to unconditionally love and forgive you and there’s nothing you can do about that, whether you choose to receive it or not so you may as well receive it- even if you feel unworthy. And that is like the very beginning of hope and coming back from the place of no return. Is letting yourself be loved. And letting yourself be loved—- even if you don’t feel that you deserve it—- opens the gateway to experiencing love for others yourself after a prolonged period of cutting yourself off from feeling those feelings of positive regard. It’s a stream that flows both ways. And it doesn’t change any of the horrifying facts about the past. But it makes it possible to begin to live again.

Me: I read Dostoevsky for the plot! ✨🪓🩸

The plot: *greasy men being psychologically tormented by their sins while looking absolutely hot during manic episodes*

İki tür acı vardır.

Biri sizi güçlendiren acı, diğeri ise sadece ıstırap veren yararsız acı. Hangi acıyı beslediğine dikkat etmeli insan..

Dostoyevski

Girls reading KAFKA, CAMUS, NIETZSCHE OR DOSTOEVSKY are damn sexyyyyy....

Another week I probably won't survive and the author who will get me through it.

I've been revisiting the work of Dostoevsky! It's been especially fun after reading a few biographies and bibliographies on him; I love these little things about reading!

Another book I'd like to recommend (not pictured) is The Sinner and The Saint by Kevin Birmingham! Wonderful biography and account of the murder that inspired Crime and Punishment.

Hope everyone has been doing well! Senior year of high school certainly hasn't been kind to me, but we can handle that.

Underrated form of intimacy: you listen to me intently as I endlessly rant about crime and punishment to you

To love someone means to see them as God intended them.
