the nose by nikolai Gogol

I love how Gogol uses magical realism and satire to be like "yeah some people are really vain and classist in Russia rn. and some of the men here? yeah, super misogynistic with a fragile masculinity." also, special mentions, White Nights by Dostoevsky and The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde. I love all of these stories for different reasons

THAT'S IT FOR TODAY

read "uncle vanya" by chekhov and watched "vanya" with andrew scott. incredible performance by andrew, although i’m not sure about my feelings on the interpretation as a whole.

White Nights - Fyodor Dostoyevsky

For a book written in 1848, it stands the test of time impecably. It's only 87 pages and it's a dream to read. The characters remind me of me and so it provoked my brain and actions and made me actually think about my life. I finished the book literally 3 minutes ago

brown eyes

I was bullied a lot for my eye color as a kid (because me having very dark brown hair and very dark brown eyes made me look "evil", apparently) and, naturally, began to dislike them. but as I've gotten out of school and away from people who put me down, I've realized how insane it is to bully someone over their eye and hair color and grown to love the color of my eyes. I mean, they may be dark but there's nothing wrong with that. and I can take pretty pictures of my eyes too, I just have to blind myself and almost stare into the sun to do so lol

reading when you wake up

recently, when I wake up in the morning and have time to kill, I've been spending a bit of time reading before or after I get myself ready to go about the day instead of sitting on my phone when I first wake up. I feel like it helps clear my mind for the day and it feels nice to not immediately scroll when I wake up like I used to

enjoy things

"yap" about the things that interest you all you want; enjoy your hobbies and pour your heart into them, stop worrying about if what you're into is "cringe"; if your friends don't like your hobbies/interests and put you down for enjoying them, find people that will; surround yourself with people you love who love you back and you will be so much happier than the people that are so quick to put others down for pursuing their happiness
