I Scream That, And Then Wonder Why No One Will Go Out With Me

Has anyone encountered the phenomenon of people pretending to read?

I was chatting with a girl and we were speaking about Kafka. She claimed to really love his work and even that she visited his residence in Prague, yet when I asked what she read she said she hadn't read his stories yet... Is that common?

Stay yourself, stay curious

The Torah is hilarious because one moment you read a passage illustrating how the upcoming king is the best person to ever walk the earth, and a couple chapters in he is starting a civil war because his soldier is more popular than him. (I'm talking about Shaul)

Ironically, the worst kind of love is the pure one; the kind which demands nothing.

Just a thought I had about how much I give with the full knowledge of no acknowledgment... I Thought Tumblr might identify.

Have you ever read such a good book and been so disappointed that there was nothing else like it that you start writing your own? Because that’s what I feel like doing after finishing all of Donna Tartt’s novels.

UPDATE!

Recently visited a nearby town with a friend and we came into a second hand shop, and as I was looking around, lo and behold a typewriter in English!! I don't live in an English speaking country so this is rare. It's not expensive at all, a bit broken but with a few tweeks it is a steal.

My birthday is in January so I might treat myself to it.

I WANT A TYPEWRITER!!!

Oh snap

That coffee mug just fell from my hand from that hot take

Has anyone read IWWV ? I've been considering reading it but I've heard it's a bad rip off of TSH... Answers will be appreciated.

Just clearing any confusion - this is not a safe space for pro ana accounts. As a person struggling with an ED, my blog will NEVER tolerate the romanticization and normalization of any type of ED. Mental illness is not to be desired, it's awful, and it does not make a person anything other than miserable.

Stay YOURSELF. Stay curious

Because destruction tastes as sweet as blood ;

Love, I tire of licking wounds as they close up, I cry to bathe them open

Stay yourself, stay curious

I bought my dream Doc. Martines as an early birthday gift secondhand. its wild I found them because they're a really specific model and my size is woman's 41, so I'm delighted. Keep buying second hand, kids, ESPECIALLY if you buy leather - we do not support the production of leather products in this household.

Stay yourself, stay curious.

War thoughts

A person in my life was taken hostage some time ago. He was at a family dinner. through exchange he has returned, but it's such an adsurd scenario. I can see the trauma on his face. I can see the looks people give him, how before he was anonymous and how he can never return to that anonymity so many of us take for granted. I can see how I've grown close to him, when before he was just a name, A face in the corridor, a smile at the end of the day, not at me, but at the people who know him.
