when my wips ask where I'm at:

Have you ever been to the Philippines? 🇵🇭

“And perhaps it is the greater grief, after all, to be left on earth when another is gone.”

- Madeline Miller, Song of Achilles

I just know that out there, somewhere, are artists that have pinterest boards and youtube playlists of art tips and tutorials they’ll never view/use.

The great Dorothy Parker born on this day in 1893:

"If you have young friends who aspire to be writers, the second greatest favor you can do to them is present them with copies of The Elements of Style. The first greatest, of course, is to shoot them while they are still happy."

classrooms are a lot more nostalgic than we think

i feel that we underappreciate the amount of good memories it brings us; how unique our experiences in a dull workplace could be so vivid and so cool and so… so special.

Shoutout to you people who:

Wear very warm clothes in hot and tropical climates/countries

Drink caffeinated drinks despite their palpitations

Feel like laughing when everyone else on the dining table is serious

Carry a big bag of random things everywhere because what if the house burns down while you’re away?

Reread a book you dislike because a super special person is passionate about it

[especially for you, writers, out there] Go into detail about the most random things ever and end up sounding like a professional in a certain field

Too tired to eat and too hungry to sleep; ends up bringing food to the bed and wakes up to ants everywhere

Rant about the person you’re in love with; you love them, yes, but sometimes they really can be little shits

Takes notes about anything and everything but never read or review them

“You are worthy of concern, of happiness, of love.”
