“I show you before the world, Like a sword of jasmine, Declaring my victory, I show you before the unbelievers, Like a holy book, Before the illeterate, a poem, Before the bedouinism peasants, a kingdom of marble. I throw my passport in the sea, And name you my country, I throw all of my dictionnaries in the fire, And name you my language, And kill all the tribes kings, And name you my queen, I show you before July, Like a promise of rain, And before the birds, Like a promise of trees, And before the seagulls, Like a promise of blue color, And I go with the kids on a field trip, Around your breasts, So they can play with snowballs, And hunt ducks, And watch in nature, The roundness of Earth, I show you before the desert, Like a palm tree, And before the drieness, like a wheat spike, And before darkness, Like a golden candlestick. Before the hungry, like bread, Before the enslaved, Like a freedom flag, Show you before the ugliness, Like a white dove, And a water fountain, and a poetry book, Show you before the arab police, Like a song, And before the arab petrol, Like a perfume bottle, And before the arab death, Like a birth cheerfulness, I declare before the woman flesh eaters, That you’re my lover, Then they would throw they’re teeth in the sea, And cutt off they’re fingernails, And wash off the blood from their clothes, And enter the era of renaissance.”
— Nizar Qabbani, I show you in the face of ugliness, a poetry book.

It’s not that I won’t fall in love again. I think I can. I’m silly and naive like that. I fall so damn easily. Even though I know I’ll never love someone the way I love him but I think I can love again. But I do know that, it’s not worth it because no one will ever fall for me. It’s always going to be the same story for me. Unrequited love. You see I fall too easily but I’m so fucking hard to love. So it’s better this way, being alone.
— I don’t think I’ll make it if I love someone without being loved again

i’ve always loved these otherwise normal-sized windows that look magnified because of the squeezed-in staircase near them; i love the complete chaos of proportions, and i love that college tucked this chaos away at the very back of the campus

Someone once told me, "If you really like someone, being friends with them would be better than dating them."
I was too young to understand then, but I think I get it now.

PSA!
When you’re copying a URL that has a question mark in it, that question mark AND EVERYTHING AFTER IT are completely unnecessary. It’s tracking data telling the website whether you copied the URL from their share function, or visited them via twitter, or what search terms you used to find that page.
So a URL that looks like this:
https://www.somewebsite.com/article/thingthatscool?ID=26079&pla_country=US&CAGPSPN=pla&&trackingid=509x1052199823&m_sc=sem&m_sb=Google&m_tp=PLA&m_ac=Google_SH_PLA_Tabletop&m_ag=Noritake&m_cn=GS_Dinnerware_PLA_Restructure&m_pi=go_cmp-13050559898_adg-127803968051_ad-520677613594_pla-1260381317191_dev-c_ext-_prd-37725010212USAgo_cmp-13050559898_adg-127803968051_ad-_pla-1260381317191_dev-c_ext-&gclid=Cj0KCQjw54iXBhCXARIsADWpsG9Z5UOydUwZHBdA_NFYMTu3kG2u3kzIT-ooPt5bd3ZtAgyRnF0aqE4aAozBEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
can usually become
https://www.somewebsite.com/article/thingthatscool
You can delete all that tracking shit, and the URL should still work. You can even test it in a new tab first before sharing it, if you're an anxious mess like me.
Go forth and tell your friends! And maybe I will no longer have to see URLs on tumblr or Discord that take up a full screen.

It’s been so long but I still miss bloomsuga and wish I could re-read the hobiverse. It was my comfort reads and I had a rough week. But I hope she’s doing well, I miss her
