Nanjing and Hangzhou by 木白-文
ok so i'm choosing what to read next and the choice lays between 3 books: one of them is a play and the other two are like 1000+ pages long and one is, as people say, is extremely traumatising and i really can't decide
International book covers of Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

A Beautiful Red Flower ~ Karolina Grabowski
Having hobbies, connecting w others, laughing and smiling and dancing and having a good time, reaching out in place of turning inward, being in love w a person and my friends and the world, nourishing my soul and heart and mind, eating good food, being part of this world—all these things really are so much better than digging my own grave and trying to make a home out of it
i guess i kinda want to get back to tumblr and actually use this blog,, all of the other media just don't seem as comfortable nowadays
"Love doesn't conquer everything. And whoever thinks it does is a fool."
I've grown kinda resentful of the trope " love can't fix everything" not because it's untrue; to its core, it's not. It just feels...Redundant? Because we KNOW that; We know people need realism and acceptance of bad things in order to deal with said bad things, but love has never been about hiding from consequence or effort. Love, in it's truest, rawest form, is MOTIVATION. It's love that keeps us standing and love that pushes forward. Love that breaks and rebuilds. Love that keeps us surviving.
Love has never been about fixing; Love is healing.
