I've been really into this task of copying all the good stuff i screenshotted into my commonplace journal. The screenshots started in September 2023 and now I'm transcribing things from June 2024.

Did a lot of reading. I'm almost finished with Babysitter by Joyce Carol Oates. Such a "traumatic" read, so dark and uncomfortable, but beautifully written. Worked on my Substack. Then went for a little walk at the park.
She was like a forest, like the dark interlacing of the oak-wood, humming inaudibly with myriad unfolding buds. Meanwhile the birds of desire were asleep in the vast inter-laced intricacy of her body.

btw the majority of your life will be lived as a adult. yeah i don't make the rules. go have fun in your 40s or 70s or whatever. no one expects you to accomplish everything at 17 or 27. you've got time and in the meantime get some life experience, it will pay off
