Sappho - translation from Anne Carson’ s “If Not, Winter”
everytime i open tumblr, a voice in my head says, "oh i gotta read those books i bought to relate with these posts."
but shortly after another says, "nope!"

Hamlet
Horatio
a summer like call me by your name >>
Doing stupid or clumsy things because you forgot to pay attention to the real world again; walked into doors, burned your food, maybe ran a red light…
When someone is having feelings in your vicinity, you are having those feelings right along with them, even if you don’t know them or why they’re upset
Art vs. Science
Really wanting to have your life all organized and together, but also being the sort of person who just doesn’t do that
When you look at a thing and it reminds you of another thing but nobody else sees it and you become the “weird” one
Dropping everything you’re doing to Google something you got curious about, or draw an image that occured to you, or in any way indulging a sudden burst of imagination before it slips away and your boring life returns
Having to say “I don’t know how to explain it, it’s just this feeling” on a daily basis to a bunch of blank faces
Nobody seems to appreciate the value of a long walk by yourself
The sensible, logical voice in your head is constantly facepalming at all the stupid stuff you do, even though it told you it was a bad idea
Your best solution to potential problems is “I’ll just take to the woods and live with trees where nobody will care what I do”
“What are you staring at?”, “What are you smiling about?”, “Why the sudden gasp?”
When you’re focused on something important then you start thinking all these other thoughts about the thing and then it snowballs and you realize you have no idea what you were focused on to begin with
“You’re an ode, the most melodic verse
You’re this soliloquy reciting in my head
You’re a Shakespearean sonnet, maybe a burlesque,
The symmetric rhyme I’ll never get
Among these pages of poor words and verses,
One thousand paragraphs would never be enough
To write about you, the most beautiful poem of love”
thinking about Kait Rokowski writing, "nothing ever ends poetically, it ends and we turn it into poetry. all that blood was never once beautiful. it was just red." and losing it
just a lost 18 year old kid in search of something (he/him)
