The Recurring Butterfly Motifs And Gargoyle Statues In Qala Are Everything

i’m a slow reader, i feel no shame in admitting that. it takes time to appreciate the words- i want to savor them, really see them, have them penetrate my mind before going the next and doing it all over again

You're trying not to tell him you love him, and you're trying to choke down the feeling, and you're trembling, but he reaches over and he touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist, and you feel your heart taking root in your body, like you've discovered something you don't even have a name for.

I'm a master of speaking silently. All my life I've spoken silently and I've lived through entire tragedies in silence

- Fyodor Dostoyevsky

mentally, i am sitting in a forest and reading my favourite books and listening to music while laying on the grass

the secret history changed my brain chemisty

whether it was for the better or the worse, we will never truly know

Watching qala was like watching an accident happen in slow motion....from the beginning the tone is set. Qala's interview with all male journalists, her voice quivering when asked abt marriage or her mother, cuts to her mother grieving abt her lost son as she even tries to take her daughter's life. Every scene leaves you unsettled as you watch qala slowly coming undone, knowing the thread could snap anytime soon. At the party, when u see qala surrounded by dancers in black quills, it's made clear how she has left her innocence. Even when she poisoned jagan u don't villainize her rather than u feel sad, knowing the path she has chosen.

Barbie + Blonde Male Fragility Reviews (insp):

Characters are obliged to act according to the laws of the world in which they live. In other words, the narrator is the prisoner of his own premises.

unfortunately if you are an old friend of mine i will always care about you no matter what even if we haven't seen each other in forever because i still remember what you were like 7 years ago and i still remember how it felt to be young with you and i still have a lot of love for you in the back of my mind

i don't know what younger person needs to hear this, but it is so valid to not want to drink alcohol at all, or to only want to drink very rarely. don't let others pressure you into joining in with those societal rituals. it is an outrage how normalized drinking alcohol is, to the point that those who choose to abstain are constantly forced to justify their private choices, be publicly questioned about what led to these choices or excluded from activities altogether. you do not ever need to justify your reasons for this. there are absolutely valid and important reasons to not drink, and nobody has a right to know your personal reasonings.
