Like the sound of dew, the end of the day brings evening; the kite erases the scent of the sunshine; when all the colors of the world are faded, the manuscript is arranged, the fireflies and their colors flicker in that story; all the birds come home - all the rivers end this life’s works; there is only darkness, and she sits in front of me, Banalata Sen.
- Jibananda Das, Banalata Sen
“There are some things about myself I can’t explain to anyone. There are some things I don’t understand at all. I can’t tell what I think about things or what I’m after. I don’t know what my strengths are or what I’m supposed to do about them. But if I start thinking about these things in too much detail the whole thing gets scary. And if I get scared I can only think about myself. I become really self- centered, and without meaning to, I hurt people. So I’m not such a wonderful human being.”
— Haruki Murakami, The Elephant Vanishes
when the lovers lose love,
and it does happen-
it’ll be slow.
he will stop doing the little things,
she will stop caring as much.
she will convince herself that she’s fighting for herself,
and soon realize she has been fighting for him.
when the lovers lose love,
the people around them will be confused.
“you seemed so happy”
“what happened?”
“are you okay?”
when the lovers lose love,
she will cry herself to sleep.
she will second guess her decisions.
she will continue down the path of losing herself completely.
when the lovers lose love,
he will make excuses for the things he did,
he will sit alone and try to figure out a plan to grab her attention,
he’ll think of how it use to be.
when the lovers lose love,
it is sad.
but it gets better.
when the lovers lose love,
and it does happen-
it’ll be slow.
Grief
I walk ahead silently;
I can hear my shoes;
Clicking as they reach the ground.
Click clack,
Click clack.
I suppose I should be crying
I swear to you I'm trying
But my eyes are fully dry.
There's too much inside of me
But not enough to come out.

any ideas of souls filling things to do in the next two months of summer rather than rot in bed on my phone all day long ❣️
omg bestie i could ask the same question im currently rotting away in lockdown...... here, i’ll do my best!
decide that ur going to learn something. it doesn’t have to be a language but it could be, i think it’s fun! there’s loads of language learning resources on tumblr. buy a $7 Irish flute and learn to play it. u could become a diy ‘expert’ in new guinean tribal art.... literally whatever you’re interested in and have never had the time to pursue in your normal routine and just go!!
assuming you a) had some interest in learning a language and b) are spending some of your time rotting watching tv and movies, then watch them in another language and you will be pleasantly surprised how much you pick up on!! let ur rotting be a little more useful and fun
buy some cheap diy stuff 2 keep urself busy.... paints or embroidery supplies or beads to make yourself jewellery... you can add a little something to all your clothes like that!
get into baking bread. there’s so many benefits... a) it’s very time consuming, no more rotting for you b) you will have dirty hands you can’t use your phone c) it’s not actually very hard just watch a tutorial and follow the instructions d) you will spend the time standing up which is good if you’re not getting much other exercise or time to stretch e) i love you i want us both to eat well duh??!!
if ur able to then leave your phone at home one day and go on a little adventure outdoors. stay close so you’re safe etc but just get out and do something find inspiration in nature go!!!! its my favourite antidote
delete all your social media off your phone (yes, even tumblr) for a week i pinky promise it will improve your quality of life by at least 30%
i hope one of these was useful!! mwah
