500 Days of Summer if it was set in the 18th century. Goethe regretted writing this book so much. I liked it.

Suprisingly easy to read, medium paced yet sentimental and having some sumptoous subtext, would recommend.

i read this book (kinda, i gave up half way through because i started to fail spanish class because i was too busy being faux mysterious) and it was moving, but this movie is SO good!! like it hit every note it needed to, the acting is phenomena, a testament to the strength of love and kindness

If you have the chance, visit. Genuinely surreal place. I love Italy in general but Venice compelled me to write a weird autofiction thing for my book when I was writing it which I just rediscovered but never actually put in the book so:
post Verona a bit of a daze, sure as hell not Shakespeare, but star-crossed enough: the van from the hostel departs, barely makes it to the ferry. Here I am, a confused teenage Tom Ripley, recently eighteen, sailing into the lagoon with all my clothes in a tattered suitcase and a reservation I don’t remember making. I sit above a canal, and I fall in love once again as the water laps at my trainers. The old glassworker indulges my thoughts as the kiln nearly sears my eyebrows off. I dance with visiting English students in a public square and lie about how old I am. I spend much of my time at a restaurant a few blocks from the apartment I stay at petting a cat which I never see again, people watching fellow tourists while acting in denial. Later, I enjoy Italian pop music with someone I share my cigarettes with in a Paris rock club three years later. I look forward to the future.

Last Thursday, a meteor appeared in the night sky over Los Angeles. I stood in place for 30 seconds watching it blaze brilliant red and orange before fizzling out suddenly. The experience moved me immensely and filled me with a sense of hope that I hadn’t felt in quite some time. I read later that it was a SpaceX satellite. I wish I hadn’t.

There's something about a wet and humid early morning that heals my soul. It's like a free sound bath. Especially if you are lucky and have a little bit of thunder alongside.
