if someone is interested depression hotline just didn’t have places for me calling for 30 minutes again and again, i’m just done
My kind of academia aesthetic
Listening to Chopin, Beethoven, Mahler, Debussy and Ravel and closing my eyes when the best part comes on
Going insane when the author I'm studying does something great-incredible-admirable as I start to fall in love with him/her
Thanking artists for sharing their art and assuring them silently that their message arrived
Trying ballet steps whenever I come across a mirror + the sound of pointe shoes, theatre's particular smell, tearing up after curtain calls, reharsing pantomime in an empty studio
Heart clenching all the time when a piece of art just strikes me good
Feeling spiritually connected and dreaming to have a chat with Virginia Woolf, maybe while drinking some tea
Knowing Opera arias by heart and humming the melody while busy doing something
Also, being super excited when it's almost theatre time! Like soooo excited! Can't wait!
Studying in an ancient benedictine monastery in Sicily and exploring every inch of it, walking a lot randomly and finding new pretty and quiet places to stay in
Looking up during a boring class and contemplating old frescoes on the ceiling
Tying ribbons in my hair
Ranting angrily about Lancelot in "Le chevalier de la charrete" to my best friend who absolutely had no idea about what was going on
Randomly telling my brother things I learned and him asking for more because I usually make him laugh a lot
Bragging about how much I love every subject I study and absolutely not regretting my choice
Smiling while reading because that passage was sooooo smart-written
FEMINIST. APPROACHES. AND. WARRIOR. WOMEN. IN. LITERATURE.
Taking pictures of the sky everywhere because I always look at it as the ultimate source of beauty
Intense philosophy lessons during summer, held by my father who studies philosophy just because he loves it, and exchanging facts about it during the day
Writing frantically my book's next chapter on the bus during my way home because I were daydreaming so hard about it before (+ my friend telling me it's as good as poetry)
Saving all the exhibition tickets I have been to
Being humble and ambitious at the same time
Telling everyone i'm studying humanities because the worlds needs to change and them not understanding how the two things are linked
I’m gonna try fasting for 48 hours!! I already have 14 hours, so only 34 hours left!! That means I’ll be done by 10 pm tomorrow. But who knows, maybe I’ll go longer because I’ll be sleeping by around that time. If anyone has fasting tips, feel free to leave them !!!
My rules for fasting:
-coffee, tea, and water only
-if I do start to feel really sick, eat a healthy, low calorie snack
-continue the 30 day fitness thingy but stop if I begin to feel ill
-gum is allowed
-if someone asks why I’m not eating, tell them I feel sick/my heard hurts
this is one of my shitty art works from today :( anyways i’m feeling like i totally forget how to draw and it drives me crazy which not good and i’m tying out this new style or maybe even technic to draw when you do it by layering, which i already used when i was drawing not digitally which acril but rn in digital art i feel like i totally suck at this stuff and i just really want to learn to do it better. so for now i have goals and this whole quarantine took my motivation and power and i just want to be finally free and wish it is going to be soon because i’m literally dying which is not good yk yk
I’m broken and I can’t be fixed...
I think of you at night, and when hearses drive by Their trembling vibrato cracking over the uneven pavement Like the wavering voice of a gloomy love song I see you in those mournful processions People marching with memories round their necks A hanging noose dragging like an unheld leash Oh I think of you Your absence filling my head Like the lungs of the drowned fill with water
Don’t tell me I’m too young to get it Like the words I’m speaking are just braids of sounds Devoid of meaning Of course, they’ll never be enough to make you stay Nothing I could try would keep the feeling from going sour The loss from setting in But even if you walk, it’s not over Listen, won’t you It’s not over till I say it is And my mouth is stitched closed As in those grinding dreams where I lose all my teeth I can’t say I won’t say I choke on these same words It’s not over
Oh love, oh lover It was good once, it was pure Till I asked for too much Till I went and ruined it all with my monstrous hunger You’re right that I’m too young Just a kid who demands and takes but never gives Only pitiful tokens Noodle necklaces and cardboard flowers Finger paintings, where my touch still clings to your skin My heart on a platter Those poor childish offerings
I’m orphaned without you Orphaned and unhinged But even if you’re gone, it’s not over Listen, I beg of you It’s not over even as I’m on my knees Even as I’m half a person Small enough to fit in your shadow Perhaps you’re right Perhaps I’m too young I could cry and embrace your legs Cry like children do, When they still believe that tears Can turn on the light and make people come back
But perhaps I’m too old Perhaps I’m too tired And I can no longer rest my head on you In the curve of your shoulder Oh love, you should have come over
Inspired by Lover You Should’ve Come Over by Jeff Buckley, as requested by @samaya11
while my mind is racing in my failed attempts of letting him go
my heart finds its peace in images of his touch
the softness of his palm, and warmness of his smile
two steps backwards due to thousands of miles in between us
but there is a thin line that i believe keeps us tightly close
a line through which my kiss will find you
and on every gloomy day i will feel your hug
