"What could he do, should've been a father but he never made it to his twenties. What a waste, army dreamers. Ooh, what a waste of army dreamers" I've recently been watching some war films for research purposes for a short film project I'm hoping to complete by the end of the year, of course, All Quiet on the Western Front is my favorite movie, I've seen the 1930s one before but never gotten around to the 2022 one.It's possibly one of my favorite films ever and I've never sobbed as much, I've brought the book as well and will be reading it over the week. Volker Bertelmann will pay for my therapy bills because this movie's score is hauntingly beautiful and fills me with such grief. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it <3

I just finished reading All Quiet on the Western Front and I have so many thoughts and feelings, I don't know where to put them, what to do with them, how to deal with them.

10% done with the challange!

I finally got to analyzing the poem I wanna write my essay on. I had a blast! I love writing essays and enjoy pretty much every step of the process, but working with primary texts still is my favourite. It reminds me why I decided to study English literature.

I also continued reading All Quiet on the Western Front. I really love this book and should manage to finish it by the end of the week. Maybe I'll check out some of Remarque's other books!

Positive things I did today:

kept the duolingo Spanish streak going

studied at the library

went for a walk

read outside

went to a café to relax after studying

Hours slept: ~9hrs 3mins Screentime: 3hrs 30mins Steps taken: ~6.600

Because one thing has become clear to me: you can cope with all the horror as long as you simply duck thinking about it – but it will kill you if you try to come to terms with it.

I'm still sitting here and you are still lying there, and there are so many things we should say to each other, but we shall never be able to.
