head's in the stars

if the heavens ever did speak she is the last true mouthpiece every sunday’s getting more bleak a fresh poison each week

i love hiking so much, it clears my mind and helps me calm down from the worst situations

Can I live here?

major mood

the book is so thrilling right about now so it’s like I’m sitting on needles 😱 but I still want to know what happens do you feel me?

Shooting Stars

shooting stars flying through the sky,

shining their brilliant gleam across the nations,

icy comets shooting through space,

showing me something they are, but I am not:

free.

some people say birds are a sign of freedom along with

fire and broken chains.

but, my little meteor burning through the atmosphere,

you truly had the freedom I desire.

the freedom to soar through space and choose how you want to die.

Sweet Child

sweet child,

never forget where you came from and show your parents true love and devotion.

sweet child,

tell those how you truly feel and show them who you truly are.

sweet child,

continue to follow your dreams and let no one tell you they aren’t possible to achieve.

sweet child,

experience the beautiful world for all its glory and let nothing hold you back.

sweet child,

take the worst situations in your life and turn them into the best moments of your life.

my younger self, hang in there.

um, yes please, bring them books here!!!

Ravenclaw Introvert 

Did she miss him? She wanted to lose herself in him. To tie him around her like a tourniquet. If she showed him how much she needed him, he'd run away.

Eleanor & Park, Rainbow Rowell

wednesday mornings and graduation flowers.

Whenever you read a good book, somewhere in the world a door opens to allow in more light.

literally me

But will I stop? No

Still working on my essay on postmodern fiction, but I finally wrote the title yesterday so I feel like I’m nearly done. It’s really hot and sunny here which has been slightly distracting but it has also been nice to sit and work outside sat on the grass in the little campus garden :–)

20,000 words of notes and drafting later I have finally conquered my latest essay! I’ve titled it ‘The Transideological Politics of Irony: Disrupting Historiographical Metanarratives in Morrison, Rushdie and Hatoum’, but who knows what I have actually argued at this point :’–)

The light in the apartment we are staying in is unreal
