Look at your wrist, see the blueish veins? The blood flowing through them contains hemoglobin, a protein that has four iron atoms incorporated into its structure. Iron is only naturally produced in one place, it can only be forged in the core of dying stars.
Every time you look at your veins, remember that you are built from, and kept alive by, pieces of stardust.
life would be so different if i was a bookshop owner in a small village near some forest, who has a secret affair with the local poet

i will never understand people who donβt like history. how can you not be entranced by something so intertwined in every step you take and everything you set your eyes on? how can you not love something that explains everything from the ground you walk on to the clothes you wear and the tongue you speak? how can you not adore something that tells the tale of every human who ever walked the earth? how can you not like something so deeply human?
βLove never dies of a natural death. It dies because we donβt know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness, errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds. It dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings, but never of a natural death.β

βMy soul is alight with your infinitude of stars. Your world has broken upon me like a flood. The flowers of your garden blossom in my body. The joy of life that is everywhere burns like an incense in my heart.β

itβs like insane that an ancient writer knew the words i needed to hear a thousand years on and could see me through all that time but also. itβs not surprising in the least bc they felt as i felt and they sang as i sang and they did everything iβve ever done there is no state of being which they have not already passed i am nothing new i am not alone and that is a great joy to know
Watching percy jackson as an adult is going to be insane because when I was 12, it was super cool for a kid my age to be doing wild dangerous stuff but now it's like you small, tiny BABEY. YOU ARE A CHILD!! but also, you still are a super cool *half God* child and I still do want to see u be a badass doing wild dangerous stuff.
(pretentious pen name to make it seem like im cool check) ENFP-T/Pisces/ love writing :)
