"If you are in sight of Bar Italia in these manic hours you are trying to escape something and I only know that because I am trying to escape something too. We are trying to escape something together which is incidentally also the best way I can describe being madly, desperately in love."

“I will not allow you to be another story of a gift I leave in the past. It was an astonishing and delusional act of self-grandeur that I ever tried to resist. I am coming to find you the moment that the storm is through with me.” create on the internet again. art is the way. this is the way. ♡

a project from two of my favorite people on this planet. as lovely and inspiring as they are ♡ “Like a houseplant, like the inumerable shamel ash trees that line the streets from here to Roma Norte, I do the most growing when there is more soil to be enjoyed.”

I've just realised that reading more fiction books for fun has really helped with me being able to focus properly on reading other stuff. I was just reading something that usually I would skim. Instead I noticed I was taking time to understand it, sometimes, re-reading sentences. Read fiction.
