hi again! back here pretending i didn't say i'd be posting more and then disappeared. i hope there's someone here still, if there's not it's ok, let it be just me and my own tumblr shadow.

BUT if there is, i hope you're ok. been a long time, alot happened, it always does.

i went to the movies to watch one of my favorite movies of the year: 'ainda estou aqui' (i'm still here) by walter salles. it's really nice to see a brazilian film doing so well internationally.

there's a promo going on and i bought these books over ☝🏼 there. as always, camus, clarice and byung-chul han; then, ivan turgueniev, woolf (i've been wanting to buy for a long time), and today i received a dostoievski book too 👇🏼!

unfortunately 2 weeks (maybe?) ago, i got hurt on my left foot. i tried to get better but it didn't work; so yesterday during our very first game in the competition, it got worse. i had to go to the hospital. the result is me not allowed to put my left foot on the ground and jumping around the house on one leg only.

and to wrap it up, i literally just started 'the substance'. don't have anything to say yet cause i'm 10 minutes in - but the photography is insane! really really good. i hope the hype is well deserved.

to all of you, the ones reading or not, i wish you peace of mind. have a real nice december! 🤲🏼🩶

thank you, camus!

so, i came back to tumblr, after all! weird to be here, i've disappeared almost everywhere, the queen of ghosting. it was for a good reason. i've been dealing with a long period of crisis, gave up 2 semesters at uni, been stuck in my bed 23h/day (not a hyperbole). finally, i feel like coming back here.

in this whole period, i haven't done too much. couldn't read, watched not so many movies/tv shows, but i did listen to a bunch of music. that kept me a bit less depressed.

i feel like i have something inside of me that is trying too hard to get out, but i don't know how to do it; it's a feeling of creation. only a few people actually feel this, like they need to create something, to put it out, but haven't found a way yet. it's stuck, and it's a whole interwork.

AND altho i know that not many people follow me, neither know who i am or whatever, but to anybody reading this and going through something bad, i hope you get better. focus on your health. it'll pass, doesn't matter when, just be strong and keep fighting. this isn't a coaching shit or self-help bad book, but for experience of someone who's dealing with way too much. everyday is a new day to begin again, until you get it.

have a really muthafuckin great day, guys. much love to you. (that's for the 2 people maybe reading this lmfao thank you for being here) 🌧🤍

these are some books that i've bought recently. expecting lispector and camus of me should be common sense by now. and of course, literary theory. 🤍

my hero right here.

The only man ever

Hi!!

I bought 4 books recently, 2 of them arrived today:

• o mito de sísifo - camus;

• exílios e poemas - james joyce.

As you know, I already read the myth of sysifus, but it was on kindle and i wanted to have the physical one. And the Joyce's, I never even had heard about it, but found it online and it sounds interesting.

Be kind to yourselves, fellas! 🤍🌧

oieee! i had to go to college to return some books because my classes are finished (thank god) and i'm officially on vacation.

i'm still reading 'a peste' by camus. it's good but i was too busy getting crazy with the finals.

next book i'm gonna read is another byung-chul han (i know, i'm a stan) - 'hiperculturalidade'.

hope everything is good with you all. 🤍🌧

i'm still on lolita, damn this book is hard to read. every page i literally have a discomfort on the way he speaks about lolita. it's so sickening! but the writing is so good, i don't even know what to say. *Fiodora thinks so too!

on the other hand i'm gonna start 'pop song' and 'a peste' today! it's gonna be i guess my forth or fifth camus. i love him sm. also, i need to finish it soon cause my uni library doesn't accept us to keep the books on vacation and semester is ending. soooo... 🤸🏻‍♀️

it's nice day today, very cloudy. i love it, it puts me in a great mood! 🤍🌧

camus was so gorgeous, wasn't him? and had such a strong personality. innocent tho, an idealistic. you can easily fall in love with him just by reading about his history.

(yes, it's one of my inspirations if you couldn't tell already!) 🤍🌧
