"I am constantly trying to communicate something incommunicable, to explain something inexplicable, to tell about something I only feel in my bones and which can only be experienced in those bones. "
- Franz Kafka

the tumblr gods have bestowed the gift of visibility upon me ππ€ thank u tumblr gods π
i have no object permanence about myself. if iβm not in anyones eye sight i assume i have ceased to be. finding out people remember i exist, think about me, and even talk about me when iβm not actively in front of them is startling news every time it is brought to my attention
i want to be a vampire so bad. it would open up a whole new world of procrastination. puts off finishing a novel for 100 years. i donβt do the dishes for 20. oh wait i donβt have dishes because i suck blood. another fucking win
parents are so crazy because they can say the most fucked up shit to you when your brain is forming and it sets the tone for your whole adult mind set and then they forget about it the next day
okay the funniest book rec I've ever encountered is officially Lit Hub recommending Jamaica Kincaid's A Small Place for the "globe trotting" reader
yeah man you're gonna learn a ton about Antigua, namely that the locals fucking hate your tourist ass and the colonialist legacy that turns Caribbean islands into playgrounds for westerners. incredible work. this is either a brilliantly placed stealth insult or the work of someone who's never actually read the book. funny either way.
why are so many great writers leaving? It makes me sad that so many are leaving and that we cant read their content anymore or even say goodbye :(
tumblr used to be a safe place for so many of us, but recently, with the waves of unnecessary hate and bullying, many writers are discouraged to continue writing and don't feel that spark of happiness they used to feel while logging in.
if you're a content consumer, please support your favorite writers as much as you can; leave comments, reblog with tags or a little something like your favorite quote, leave an ask telling them how good their work was and you're endlessly thankful for the time they put in this... too many writers feel like their efforts go to waste because they think they "don't fit in" (this is what a writer friend of mine told me before deactivating, i'm just using her own words here).
writing is fun, it's a hobby for us. so when it slowly turns into a task, something we have to do instead of something we want to do, this is when many of us decide to leave
