i've been feeling down today and it's been too hot lately. i tried to read a bit more of 'infocracia' with willow as a friend support, but i had to rewrite an essay for one of my classes. unfortunately, i didn't do that either. i just existed and that was it.
finished chouette tho, and i loved it. i'm very much into magical realism. the writing was definitely an experience!
and i decided to treat myself with a skincare night, maybe i'll try to finally watch aftersun. or just read a bit more. 🤍🌧
these are some books that i've bought recently. expecting lispector and camus of me should be common sense by now. and of course, literary theory. 🤍
"We must mend what has been torn apart, make justice imaginable again in a world so obviously unjust, give happiness a meaning once more..."
from Lyrical and Critical essays by Albert Camus
i received these three clarice lispector books today! i'm so happy and ready to read her works. i already had other three.
pretty amazing, isn't it? the covers are crazy. i'm gonna start with the second one, água viva - my friend told me so.
apart from that, the days have been a little bit harder, and i can't wait for traveling. i need to get away.
but back to the books: i think i'm gonna really start a booktube. for that, i need to get over my shyness. i might not do it, i always leave projects halfway or 'noneway'.
hope everyone is having an amazing day. take care. 🤍🌧

i've been away for a bit because, you know, college. and i have to read these two for classes. life's been boring lately, but i'm fine with that.
sometimes it rains and it's like nothing more exists. incredible how rain has the power to make me feel safe. 🌧🤍
