Мой первый пост знакомство не удался :(((
Завтра заберу свои книжки🥰
I must master myself to tangible resistance against melancholy and degeneration i can catch whenever my brain lowers its standard. I have energy and i don’t have enough time to waste it for nothing than escaping reality in imaginary world. I must train myself to be better.
Appreciation post for all the beginner artists who work hard despite the AI looming over us. You are fabulous. You are precious. Keep up the hard work, you are needed.
Jane Austen was born in 1775, so this year marks her 250th birthday (in fact on the 16th December, but I'm doing while the weather is tolerable). So I decided to do what I've often said I would do and take a walk around the villages where she grew up (with Nevis of course - he's a big Austen fan).
According to the leaflet I had, the first church there is St Mary's, where her brother was curate (I was sure it was called something else - maybe some of the names have changed over the years, or I'm remembering wrongly. I could find out but I'm too tired right now). At the end is Deane House I'm pretty sure, home to the Harwood family in her time, so just before that would be Deane Church where her father had been rector in 1773.
Not sure those would have been there in Jane's time. But anyway, in Steventon itself, this phone box has been refurbished as a book exchange:
'Steventon's most famous resident was arguably Jane Austen'. I would say definitely. But maybe I don't know local history as much as I should. Maybe at one time this was the arts capitol of the world.
Anyway obviously there was more. Steventon Rectory where she was born was demolished, and a new rectory built later by her brother after her death. But it was getting pretty late in the afternoon by this point.
heartbreaks do not get easier as you get older. you just learn to put yourself first. you won't dwell on whether you'll find happiness again. instead you'll wonder if you'll ever be happy staying in this loveless relationship.
The beauty of having the earthy feel when you study.

For a moment I just thought what if I will be dead tomorrow. I will never finish the book I’m reading, I will never know the end of it. I will never get my first job and never earn my salary. I will never even get a degree, not even by chance because I will no longer exist. Death is such an odd thing though it is so “common”
don’t stare at the moon too long or else you’ll remember that nothing in this stupid fucking world makes sense

"Every single empire in its official discourse has said that it is not like all the others, that its circumstances are special, that it has a mission to enlighten, civilize, bring order and democracy, and that it uses force only as a last resort. And, sadder still, there always is a chorus of willing intellectuals to say calming words about benign or altruistic empires, as if one shouldn't trust the evidence of one's eyes watching the destruction and the misery and death brought by the latest mission civilizatrice."
