❝When I am grown up I shall carry a notebook–a fat book with many pages, methodically lettered. I shall enter my phrases.❞
— Virginia Woolf, The Waves
Virginia Woolf, mid-twentieth century:
❝[L]et us take down one of those old notebooks which we have all, at one time or another, had a passion for beginning.
Most of the pages are blank, it is true; but at the beginning we shall find a certain number very beautifully covered with a strikingly legible hand-writing. Here we have written down the names of great writers in their order of merit; here we have copied out fine passages from the classics; here are lists of books to be read; and here, most interesting of all, lists of books that have actually been read, as the reader testifes with some youthful vanity by a dash of red ink.❞
— Virginia Woolf, "Hours in a Library". Granite and Rainbow: Essays by Virginia Woolf (New York: Harcourt, Brace and Co., 1958),p.25.

“You’re slow, but you get there in the end.” And his lips twisted into a scarred smile and the embers danced in the shadows of his eyes.”
in the meantime: study, journal, read more books, sit in silence, listen to music, take walks, take the stairs, do more things alone, do more things with friends, take notice of the small wonders of the world, create a sacred space in your mind
Unpopular opinion but Marvel's Loki Show will never top the absolute chaos that is Laurits in Netflix's Ragnarok.
That's how you do trickster gods.
