I don't do anything with my life except romanticize and decay with indecision.

day 23-30 // 30doi
some days i need help summoning my inner strength, and in those times, one of my favorite poets to turn to is Maya Angelou, so i made myself this wallpaper as a reminder to not give up every time i look at my phone.
this week i was supposed to do a trial run of my fresh start challenge but i'm not sure if it's the amount of life admin stuff i needed to catch up on (istg it makes me feel soooo much less like a mess and much less awful about myself now that i've dealt with those tasks), all the movement i wanted to get in this week (i just felt so physically off these past few weeks), or if i was just procrastinating more (i did watch a lot of youtube this week despite removing the app from my phone...some of it while exercising tho!) that made it a struggle to get more than 4h of studying in each day (sometimes even getting to 4h was a struggle 😪). so...idk if this whole 6h of studying / day thing will work but perhaps now that i'll be officially back to school next week, i will feel more compelled to focus on that rather than other things...(for better or for worse 😅)
🌼 study stats (50/10-15):
M: 🌼🌼🌼🌼
T: 🌼🌼🌼🌼
W: 🌼🌼🌼🌼
Th/F: did not feel like counting, but i did study
📰 media on my mind:
one in 10 premature births linked to plastic chemicals
the secret to lasting love might just be knowing how to fight
care school for men (istg THIS needs to be all over the world to equalize the gender gap in domestic work 👏🏻)
you're not a mess: how to journal to *ace* 2024 (can't wait for her video on her bujo setup if/when she makes one! i've been feeling a bit stuck with mine lately and been needing some inspo to...idk, have a system that calms rather than stresses me bc i feel like i just end up making very unrealistic plans no matter what planning method i use 😅)
diaries: schumann (tiffany poon's new album!!! 😍)
clementine - halsey (🎶 i don't need anyone, i just need everyone and then some 🎶)

Today’s Cozy Reading Corner🍎🌳✨🔥🪽
I’m re-reading Paradise Lost by John Milton today because I love the drama and felt in the mood for a challenge. I don’t read the plain English version, because when I started trying to read that one, it takes away a lot of the beauty and poetic pacing of the original.

Introduction post :)
me:
I am from the more northern region of Appalachia
I’m currently learning Spanish and my goal is to become fluent (always down to chat in it, I don’t get enough practice with writing lol)
I like a wide variety music, but my favorite genres are metal (especially nu, thrash, and groove metal) and folk! I listened to 117 genres in 2023 and my goal was 100!
I love classic literature and writing (most passionate about poetry + haikus)
I’m interested in viral microbiology and mortuary science (to become a coroner/medical examiner) as careers
I recently started drumming B)
My favorite drummers are Joey Jordison, Mercedes Lander, and Dave Grohl (pretty basic choices but idc and I think they’re really cool)
my favorite bands are Murderdolls & kittie :)
I do film photography & develop my black and white pictures on my own!
My blog:
I will primarily be posting my poetry & other writings, art, and music opinions, but I don’t want to limit myself to specific topics
Im totally open to writing critiques, but I will state if I’m not on certain posts. Please feel free to ask questions about my writing or art if you’re ever curious!!
always down for music/book/poet/artist/photographer recommendations!!
please keep in mind that I am a minor

He is quiet and so am I. He sips tea with lemon, while I drink coffee. That's the difference between us. Like me, he wears a wide, striped shirt, and like him, I read the evening paper. He doesn't see my secret glance. I don't see his secret glance. He's quiet and so am I. He asks the waiter something. I ask the waiter something… A black cat walks between us. I feel the midnight of its fur and he feels the midnight of its fur… I don't say to him: The sky today is clear and blue. He doesn't say to me: The sky today is clear. He's watched and the one watching and I'm watched and the one watching. I move my left foot. He moves his right foot. I hum the melody of a song and he hums the melody of a similar song. I wonder: Is he the mirror in which I see myself? And turn to look in his eyes…but I don't see him. I hurry from the café. I think: Maybe he's a killer… or maybe a passerby who thinks I am a killer. He's afraid…and so am I.
'He Is Quiet And So Am I' from diwan Don't Apologize for what you did by Mahmoud Darwish

"i love you"
You were not half as sweet on me as I was on you.
You did not stay up late at night or count the flowers that bloomed.
From the start, I should have known
"I love you" meant more to me than it did to you.
- t.h. ballard

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
-Robert Frost ‘Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening’ 1922
