You said I killed you -- haunt me, then!
- I am looking for a wealthy husband‼️ About me: - 27 years old - no money - no prospects - a burden to my parents - frightened
- I read classics because my FOMO is making me want to understand every reference ever
- Why does it look like franz kafka
- Love when a classic book is relatable. Destroying your sister's stuff cause you're mad at her? Little women. Doing something and hoping your crush will notice you? Great Gatsby. Hate aging? Dorian Gray. Loving an ugly guy? Jane eyre.
- SHUT IT DOWN SHUT IT DOWN
- Opening a bakery and calling it "I'm a crepe. I'm a weird dough"
- READ, READ, READ. You can't write unless you've read from other people. Like a lot of them. You can, of course. But there won't be much growth. See what words and phrases they use. How did it make you feel? How did they come up with it? Read, engage, learn, grow
- Love that Hamlet refused to kill Claudius when he's praying cause if he dies during his prayer, he might go to heaven. A real hater. What an icon
- This is my favourite one: "How strange it is to be anything at all" about Edward Cullen on YouTube
there’s a genre of phrases that sound like they’re from the bible or like paradise lost, but really, really aren’t. like “there are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see” which is ofc a jordan peterson tweet about a bottle of evian. what are the others?
