Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.

clarice has been a great company these days. she speaks about god thru lóri's point of view, her believes, and it sounds a lot camus' absurdism! she says 'if i wanna pray, it would be to the cosmic or to Nothing'.
rainy days and depression, love to see it. 🌧🤍
Life's not fair, i should be paid for existing and reading books
“You will be required to do wrong no matter where you go. It is the basic condition of life, to be required to violate your own identity. At some time, every creature which lives must do so. It is the ultimate shadow, the defeat of creation; this is the curse at work, the curse that feeds on all life. Everywhere in the universe.”
- Philip K. Dick, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Do you think it's better to fail at something worthwhile, or to succeed at something meaningless?
“We all looked up” by Tommy Wallach
You get to choose what you want to do with your life, instead of life choosing for you. But having that power, the power to choose, can be a doubleedged sword. Because you can choose wrong.
“We all looked up” by Tommy Wallach
"Do not ask to find here a statement or a theory. Pay attention only to the internal story of a sincere life, a long life, fecund in happy and sad moments, not without contradictions. A life full of illusions, but that is always trying , not reaching the unapproachable truth, to reach the harmony of the spirit, which is our ultimate truth."
Romain Rolland's note for his book "An enchanted soul" August 1922
"I am always jealous. I am ALWAYS jealous. No matter how much I have. I am always wanting more. I can't be filled. I can't be enough. I can't get everything. I want more. I want more. And I have so much love, blessings, accomplishments, money, talent----more than I deserve for free and I still chase for more. I still scoff at other's happiness. I still wish for their failures. I pray for their downfall. I want to see them get beautifully destroyed, just because I don't want to see them succeed. I still want what they have even if in reality, I don't need it, I want it so they can't have it. I am so petty, so mean, so ill. No wonder no one likes me. I am filled with so much hate and despair and spite that I could never ever have enough"

"Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands."

"Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition, and they’ve got talent, as well as just beauty. I’m so sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for"

Hello my friends! 👋💓
The situation in Gaza is worsening day by day, and my family is still struggling in very tough conditions. 😔💔
I only have $85 left to reach the $8500 goal, and I hope to achieve it today. 🇵🇸😢
I sincerely thank everyone who has supported and stood by us during this time. 💗🍉

Hi dear donors ! ❤️
I would like to extend my thank and gratitude for the support you have been offering over the last eleven months. ❤️☺️
My family and I have been suffering and going through the hardest days we have ever experienced in our life . Things are very hard to get and and sometimes unattainable.😭😓
Our sufferings and hardship started on the first day of the war when all our possessions were completely destroyed and burned. We have become displaced and homeless , finding ourselves in a small tent in streets with no means of life. We lack every single necessary thing of life; food, water, hygiene essentials, and other necessities have become scarce and rare.
Our life has been tough and harsh all the last time. No cooking gas , nor cooking tools exist . We struggle to prepare a small meal of food.
No bakeries are available. Everything seems hard and unbelievable.😭
This is a part of burying the dead. We also face some problems in the process of buying our dead people as no place is there for the family. Tombs aren't for the number of people living on a small spot of land.
All what we need is to survive the war and be safe. We are trying to secure the daily basic living necessities and this can come true with your contribution and support. Please don't spare this moment of supporting the people in need in Gaza in this tough and dire time. You can help us by either donating however small it is or sharing my posts. Your support makes a big difference for families in need.https://gofund.me/7e428359

I lie to myself all the time, but I never believe me. -SE Hinton, The Outsiders.
"good story ideas seem to come quite literally from nowhere...two previously unrelated ideas come together and make something new under the sun. Your job isn't to find these ideas but to recognize them when they show up."

im covered in bandaids at the moment, but regardless this book has a tight grip on me :')
I haven't been able to properly put it down since I finally convinced myself to read it. i've brought it everywhere with me just so I can sneak a few pages in wherever I go lmao
im 60% through this book, and im absolutely in love. depending on how this ends, I might even give it a reread soon
as always, head the trigger warnings, and happy reading!
