trying to make sense of existence through literature (and cats). 21. she. asian. cr: the count of monte cristo, love
- i too would walk for kilometers if my city looks like thistoday i walked 5.15 km mostly around the old town area which was unusually quiet this morning.
- read this book. DO NOT look up anything about it. just read it. itβs only 168 pages and you can download it on audible itβs only like 6 hours. do it right now iβm very extremely serious. you're welcome.
- this is where i should lie down and read a book and fall into a napHow is this a real place lol
- walking inside a bookstore knowing the only thing i can afford is to leave
- i actually admire people who memorize poetry and recite it randomly in a conversationin 2025 you need to be memorizing poetry. you need to be spending sizable chunks of time committing sizable chunks of text to memory. you need to be running out of flash cards.
- books build the foundation for language, critical thinking, empathy, and emotional awareness. that is why early exposure to literature is essential: it gives children a language for their emotions, a way to understand others, and a lens to see the world with curiosity and care.
- there's no greater satisfaction than coming across a very iconic line
- reading woolf and lispector reminds me how literature lets us cradle an emotion without demanding neat resolution. to feel something in full without the pressure of definition, of outcome, of the neat tied-bow so beloved by tidy narratives. it's a peculiar kind of solace.
- marking a book as 'read' on goodreads gives me so much serotonin for some reason
- i love it when books make me feel things that i never physically and personally felt before. like the chill of a winter breeze. the vividness of spring. the rustle of fall. there are so many things i have yet to experience; i don't think a lifetime could encapsulate them all.
- ever read a book that you are so ashamed of reading π
