read this book as a 14 year old and felt my mind physically expand and comprehend mortality :00 re-reading it as an adult it hits even harder. it feels like a warm summer night where everything feels incredibly still! 10/10 timeless read, definitely grounds the soul :))

By Erin Skiffington It’s a book about 17 year olds, written by a 14 year old, and I read it over and over as a teen and cried so hard every time I think it would still hit hard now

just finished reading this after sitting on my bookshelf for 10+ years. one of my favorite reads this year although re: your criteria, it may be a little bit depressing but in a chill nothing matters type of way. Confusing at parts (which is kinda fun) and would consider rereading

I just finished reading “I will greet the sun again” by Khashayar J. Khabushani. Such a beautiful layered book about a young queer iranian boy growing up in LA with his family In the 90’s/00’s. Some of the reviews say it’s devastating and beautiful. It really is. I left it with knots in my stomach and a real want for freedom. What are some of your recommendations?

Listen, I've watched Little Women about ten times but FOR SOME REASON, only a couple days ago when watching it with a best friend did we both start crying. We had both watched the movie many times before, but i guess this specific time in our life where this movie found us hit different. She's in her first year in college and I'm in my gap. The overwhelming feeling of loneliness that can take over when entering a new phase in your life is UNMATCHED, and jo's monologue just hit. Watching the movie, there are these very evident hard cuts between the warmth of childhood and coldness of the present, BUT when you actually think about it, can you recall the moment in the movie it BECOMES the present, and the color shifts? Probably not, because time is subtle. You don't wake up and suddenly realize you're a grown up who must make your own way in the world. Its more of a retrospective. Jo herself probably didn't realize her childhood was as warm and beautiful as it was.... until it was gone. Anyways we cried and laughed about why we were crying, but I haven't been able to think about it since. I don't know where I am in the color palette sunset of warm to cold, but I will know once I've long passed it.

Whatever I can’t stop listening to this twenty one pilots album - every week probably there’s a different song that clicks with me in a weird or specific way bc they’re all their own thing but somehow fit together cohesively. so sometimes I listen on shuffle and sometimes I cherry pick and listen to one song 5x and like okay yes I am sleeping with the drummer but I genuinely feel that only would make me more critical or embarrassed if it wasn’t good. It’s good
