people have these aesthetic book shelves, library and shit meanwhile here i am downloading my 789th illegal pdf/epub.

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. 🤍

clarice has been a great company these days. she speaks about god thru lóri's point of view, her believes, and it sounds a lot camus' absurdism! she says 'if i wanna pray, it would be to the cosmic or to Nothing'.

rainy days and depression, love to see it. 🌧🤍

i've been away for a bit because, you know, college. and i have to read these two for classes. life's been boring lately, but i'm fine with that.

sometimes it rains and it's like nothing more exists. incredible how rain has the power to make me feel safe. 🌧🤍

probably will finish in the margins by ferrante today.

i need to choose another but it's hard when you have many clarice books in your shelf and not think about picking one up.

i'm not doing ok since my birthday (feb 16th). it's raining a bit these days, so it makes my days better. thank god nature. 🌧🤍

also, it's time for restart studying: manifesting.

late valentines with my girl ottessa and the view of a rainy day 🤍 🌧

started 'água viva' today. my first clarice! her writing is wow, i've been annotating a lot. so many thoughts already. just wild!

i was gonna go for run today, but gave up, it's been one of those lazy days. probably do some yoga before go to bed.

tomorrow i feel like it's gonna be a good day. (probably won't though) - let's keep it positive.

that's a goal: be more positive! 🤍🌧

1am, i'm reading 'hiperculturalidade', and it's so good. probably, i'll be finishing it on thursday or friday.

also, i read today 'blue horses' by mary oliver and liked it. wasn't too invested tho, but it's great.

and in the morning, i was able to read a lot of 'the idiot' by elif batuman. this book is making me so happy! her writing is amazing and just to be in selin's mind is fascinating.

be kind to yourselves 🤍🌧

continuing this one today! i'm still on 10% but really enjoying it. it's funny and brings some good questions to think about.

other than that, i apply for next semester's classes. hope i'll be accepted at all of them.

i'm trying to think more about the projects i'd like to work on.

i hope it rains today. 🌧

i received these three clarice lispector books today! i'm so happy and ready to read her works. i already had other three.

pretty amazing, isn't it? the covers are crazy. i'm gonna start with the second one, água viva - my friend told me so.

apart from that, the days have been a little bit harder, and i can't wait for traveling. i need to get away.

but back to the books: i think i'm gonna really start a booktube. for that, i need to get over my shyness. i might not do it, i always leave projects halfway or 'noneway'.

hope everyone is having an amazing day. take care. 🤍🌧

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! 🤍🌧

read 'infocracia' with wine yesterday night and finished 'the right to sex' tonight which was good but not great. my plans are to read a bit more of 'lolita' or 'crime e castigo' tomorrow and find a better mindset, cause honestly i've not been feeling good lately.

hope everyone is having a good time in life. 🤍🌧

i've been feeling down today and it's been too hot lately. i tried to read a bit more of 'infocracia' with willow as a friend support, but i had to rewrite an essay for one of my classes. unfortunately, i didn't do that either. i just existed and that was it.

finished chouette tho, and i loved it. i'm very much into magical realism. the writing was definitely an experience!

and i decided to treat myself with a skincare night, maybe i'll try to finally watch aftersun. or just read a bit more. 🤍🌧

finished 'tell me i'm an artist', which was really good. what it means to be an artist? that's a very profound question, i think.

also, i'm reading 'infocracia' because i want to read everything byung-chul han writes.

actually i'm reading too many books at the same time. 5! AND trying to deal with college.

great music to be my partner, hayley slays. fr. 🤍🌧

I finally got it :D

:)

I think this was the first time in a damn while I actually had to put a book down and have a break from reading
