When Jeanette Winterson Wrote “i Want To Be Able To Call You. I Want To Able To Knock On Your Door.

when jeanette winterson wrote “i want to be able to call you. i want to able to knock on your door. i want to able to keep your key and give you mine. i want there to be no gossip. i want to make supper with you. i want to go shopping with you. i want to know noting can come between us expect each other.” and when franz kafka wrote “you clam you haven’t done enough nice things for me, but is there anything nicer, any greater honor you can show me than simply being with me and allowing me to sit in front of you” and when james schuyler said “not to be in love with you i can’t remember what it was like it must’ve been lousy” and when caitlyn siehl “You are making breakfast in every dream that I have of you. You are in the kitchen, your soft middle pressed up against the cold marble countertops like a vision too beautiful for the magazines, sprinkling dark chocolate chips over pancakes. I think for a brief second that I am dreaming inside of my dream, that I had to make you up twice, just to get it right. You, brushing your dark hair out of your face, smearing batter across your cheeks. You have come and made my dreams smaller, narrower. Filled them with sugar and your body humming in the same room as mine. I dream, now, of a normal life with you. A life where breakfast lasts until the sun goes down, until I have finished gazing at you from across the table, flour dried to your forehead like a kiss.” and when sanna wani wrote “I want to eat fruit the same way you eat fruit with your lips not your teeth tongues stained with juice when I smile I want you to smile back wipe the corner of my mouth with your thumb kiss me kiss your thumb show me how fruit tastes in your mouth just a touch different from how it tastes in mine” and when daniel walsh said “I crave the simplest love of you with you. a cold night, warm sheets, and your skin against my own. certainly, that is all I could ever ask for.” and edna st. vincent millay wrote “I am going to make you love me. sweetheart, what I mean is: I want to sit on the edge of your bed while you have your breakfast - i want to laugh with you, be incredibly silly, be incredibly happy, be like children, and I want to kiss you more than anything in the world.”

I think you carry the people you’ve loved with you forever, not in a ‘you can never get over them’ way but more like loving them changed you and it meant something and you have to make peace with that

[KOR/ENG LYRICS] Young Love (애매한 사이 / An Uncertain Relationship*) by BTS

I love you (I love you)

I miss you (miss you)

사랑이 그놈 참 어렵구나 (ay girl) Love, that jerk, turns out he’s pretty difficult (ay girl)

Young love

I love you (I love you)

I need you (I need you)

(You know what)

Yeah 1, 2

이런게 사랑인가봐 This must be love

참 바보인가봐 How foolish

너만 보면 기죽되고 Whenever I see you, I get discouraged

네 앞에만 서면 작아지는 걸 Whenever I stand in front of you, I get smaller

이런게 사랑인가봐 This must be love

참 웃음만 나와 It keeps making me laugh

왜 자꾸만 엇갈리고 Why do we keep passing each other by?

다가가면 내게 멀어지는 걸 When I move closer, you move further away

사랑 Love

My love is so young

It’s like the littlest child

지구 몇 바퀴라도 돌 듯 계속 뛰는 이 마음 This heart keeps beating like it took several spins around the globe

어느 그 아무도 모르게 정말 우연히 Without anyone knowing, completely by chance

알게 된 널 본 그날 난 내 심장과 마주쳤지 The day I got to know you, I bumped into my heart

Oh it goes fast

너와의 시간이 넘 빨리 가 Time spent with you flies by too fast

그렇다고 내 마음까지 빠르다는 걸 아니야 But that doesn’t mean that my heart’s moving too fast

남들 사이는 TV도 아닌데 왜 자꾸 틀어지는지 What happens between others isn’t a TV show, why do people keep pressing play

근데 왜 우린 서로 아끼는지 But why are we so fond of each other

널 좋아하는데 I like you

아 이유가 없어 Ah, there’s no reason

난 너랑만 있을 땐 물감 칠하듯 번져 When I’m with you, it’s like I’m paint spreading around

어느새 작은 말투 하나하나까지 너 같아 At some point, even little things about the way I speak seem like you

쉽게 말할게 내가 너가 돼 To put it simply, I’m becoming you

Then girl I like that

언제나 너와 함께 Always with you

넌 내가 너 안에 있지만 난 항상 너 밖에 없어 You always keep me within you but I can’t do without you*²

내가 부르는 노래 속에 있을 거야 (young love) You’ll be in the songs that I sing (young love)

이런게 사랑인가봐 This must be love

참 바보인가봐 How foolish

너만 보면 기죽되고 Whenever I see you, I get discouraged

네 앞에만 서면 작아지는 걸 Whenever I stand in front of you, I get smaller

이런게 사랑인가봐 This must be love

참 웃음만 나와 It keeps making me laugh

왜 자꾸만 엇갈리고 Why do we keep passing each other by

다가가면 내게 멀어지는 걸 When I move closer, I grow further from you

사랑 Love

내 맘을 몰라 (my love is so young) I don’t know my heart (so young)

내 맘을 몰라 (my love is so young) I don’t know my heart (my love is so young)

내 맘을 몰라 (my love is so young) I don’t know my heart (so young)

Our love is so young

내 맘을 몰라 (my love is so young) I don’t know my heart (so young)

내 맘을 몰라 (my love is so young) I don’t know my heart (my love is so young)

내 맘을 몰라 (my love is so young) I don’t know my heart (so young)

Our love is so young

내 맘을 몰라 (young love) I don’t know my heart (young love)

내 맘을 몰라 (young love) I don’t know my heart (young love)

내 맘을 몰라 (young love) I don’t know my heart (young love)

Young love young love

Young love

Translators’ Notes: * The word used here is ‘애매한’, a Korean word used to describe something awkward, ambiguous, uncertain, or even in-between. It does not really have a direct English equivalent. When used to describe a relationship, it implies that the relationship between the two is not very clearly defined, and that there is a slight awkward element to their interactions. 2. The Korean plays on the words ‘안에’, meaning ‘inside/within’, and ‘밖에’, meaning ‘outside’. The phrase “너 밖에 없어” in Korean is often used to mean “I have no one but you”, but can also be literally translated to mean “I have none outside you”.

 8 illustrations drawn mostly in a dreamy anime-type style, with a limited palette of muted reds, blues, and grays.
"Ritual Bathing." Painter and Yumi bathe back-to-back in a small pool surrounded by rocks. Vines and flowers overhead create reflections and shadows in the water, and a small tray of soaps floats by them.
"Learning to Paint." Yumi and Painter kneel on the floor of Painter's apartment, both holding brushes as Yumi paints comparatively unskilled bamboo. The apartment looks modern, with an electric fan, hion TV, and bookshelves, and is messy and cluttered with clothes and dishes. Some of the dishes are stacked into precarious-looking towers.
"Learning to Stack." Painter, wearing gloves and Yumi's dress and clogs, and frowning with concentration, attempts to place a sixth rock on his stack. Yumi stands behind him, smiling with her hands on her hips.
"Meditation." Painter (still in Yumi's clothes) kneels on the ground and paints a swirl of ink on a scroll. Yumi kneels beside him, looking at him thoughtfully and tucking her hair behind her ear.
"Backlit by Wonder."  A full-color painting of Yumi and Painter holding onto branches in the floating tree. They both wear Yumi's undergarments, which resemble a loose shirt and pants, and their hair floats around their faces weightlessly. Pink flowers in the foreground frame them, and blue butterflies fly past in the background. The sun shines golden on them both through the branches.
"Painter's Portfolio." Yumi kneels on the floor of Painter's apartment in her blue dress and jacket. Spread on the ground before her are about seven impressive ink paintings of nature and architecture. She reaches out one hand to touch them.
"Comfort." Yumi and Painter kneel together. Yumi smiles gently and touches Painter's cheek.
"The Stable Nightmare." Painter and Yumi run down an alley, away from a huge smoky monster with glowing white eyes and teeth. Painter is ahead and looks back to Yumi, who looks frightened and clutches a bag to her chest. The nightmare reaches out a claw to grab at her.

Yumi and the Nightmare Painter illustrations by Aliya Chen, 1-8 ☆9-16☆ 17-23

just finished the new percy jackson book, the chalice of the gods and i'm curled up into fetal position, crying my eyes out— because this book was truly written for us, the ones who read the series at 9 years old and were absolutely taken with the sassy hero who loves his friends too much. the ones who are now in their early years of adulthood and inheriting a world of uncertainty.

the themes of growing up, trying to figure out what that means in this world, and desperately wanting to live a good life. rick wrote it with that boyish charm that percy has always had but he knew his audience has grown up and he told this story for them, the twenty-somethings who will never forget opening that first book about a boy who never wanted to be a demigod.

i think that percy and annabeth's relationship is so healing for both of them. like, our girl has severe abandonment issues but managed to pull the guy whose fatal flaw is unwavering loyalty. and our boy has severe self-esteem issues but managed to pull the girl who consistently chooses him. i love these two so much.
