Road Trip

metsänpeitto – forest blanket. In Finnish mythology, this is the name of a place or state of mind where you can be led by magical creatures of the forest (dwarves?) and where even a familiar forest can seem strange and deceptive. in the past, people who got lost in the forest for unexplained reasons said that they 'fell under the forest cover'. 'but there's a way out!' that's what my grandmother used to say, which her mother taught her once when they got lost in a cloudberry swamp. 'I need to turn my socks inside out!'

i love that charles dickens got paid by the word. like i cant even be mad when he’s boring and long-winded bc i would do xactly the same??? i wouldnt use contractions or colours at all. want to say the word red? too bad. we r now only using “the colour of freshly-spilled blood on snow; the hue of the horizon when the sun sets over the deserts of sub-saharan Africa” BOOM guess who can afford 2 eat now: me and my boi dickens
