I've finished it a few weeks ago and I'm still thinking about it . Her life was so wild and made me not take things superficially cuz this woman was suffering at the same time as her fame peaked.

shit was absolutely bonkers and tragic. fascinating to listen to her read it and it's written as if she was the age she experienced these things. idk how a parent gets to this place of abuse but w o w

good companion piece to her films and good on its own if you don’t know who she is. Very sad and raw the most emotions I’ve felt in months.

just finished the maggie gyllenhaal audiobook which was so entertaining. so well written and so insightful into the minutiae of being a girl. the magnifying glass she uses to describe her surroundings and feelings! she can't sleep and she can't read! the metaphors!!! so tragic to think how she overcame this but still came to such a sad end :( and even worse to think of how hard she was on herself and how revered she is now

When I was seven, an 80s movie aired on TV, and I watched it until my mom turned it off at bedtime. I cried, wanting to see the rest, but she refused, and I eventually fell asleep. The next day, I couldn’t remember the movie’s name, so I never finished it—until today. It aired again, and the experience was surreal; I remembered every detail and finally saw the ending.

Tamino’s Amir is a stunning blend of Western music and Egyptian roots. His sound feels timeless ,ethereal vocals, poetic lyrics, and deep inspiration from religion, philosophy, and mythology. It’s haunting, beautiful, and incredibly moving. Definitely one of my top 5 artists, and Amir sits firmly in my top 10 albums of all time.

Cassandra, a trojan princess, who could predict the future but was cursed so that no one would believe her. Which leads to troy's fall.
Clytemnestra was the wife of Agamemnon. While he was away at war, she took Aegisthus as her lover. When Agamemnon returned from Troy, she killed him to avenge the sacrifice of their daughter Iphigenia. Later, her son Orestes killed her in revenge.
I also have favorite romantic myths like:
Eros and psyche
Orpheus and Eurydice
Apollo and Hyacinthus
Achilles and Patroclus
Penelope and Odysseus
