I've been really into this task of copying all the good stuff i screenshotted into my commonplace journal. The screenshots started in September 2023 and now I'm transcribing things from June 2024.
I'm slowly catching up!
I love how walking is used by authors back then as a metaphor for female agency. For example, Pride and Prejudice by Austen, North and South by Gaskell and Lady Chatterley's Lover by D. H. Lawrence to name a few.

She was like a forest, like the dark interlacing of the oak-wood, humming inaudibly with myriad unfolding buds. Meanwhile the birds of desire were asleep in the vast inter-laced intricacy of her body.
D.H. Lawrence, Lady Chatterley's Lover
Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights
Simple pleasures: eating seasonal fruits, enjoying nature, going to art museums, getting lost in a book and savouring a cappuccino and croissant for breakfast.
