Yeah, I know, that little girl

She wanted to stay alive

She fought to survive

And I couldn't safe her

I couldn't love her

So killed her

Yet somehow, she've survived

But you wouldn't like

What she became

Funny thing is, she changed her mind

And she can't take it anymore

But now, she has to wait for me

"How will I survive this missing? How do others do it? People die all the time. Every day. Every hour. There are families all over the world staring at beds that are no longer slept in, shoes that are no longer worn. Families that no longer have to buy a particular cereal, a kind of shampoo. There are people everywhere standing in line at the movies, buying curtains, walking dogs, while inside, their hearts are ripping to shreds. For years. For their whole lives."

– The Sky is Everywhere, Novel by Jandy Nelson

CZECH BOOKS I THINK YOU SHOULD READ (some classics some less clasic, sadly i am not sure if they all were translated to english i apologize)

The Cremator - Ladislav Fuks

the movie from 1968 is phenomenal, but the book I ENJOY

so interesting and scary, disturbing imaginery and descriptions

set in the 1930s

tells the story of a man who starts as a bit of an odd but well meaning cremator, loves his wife and children, turns into a murderer

Closely watched trains - Bohumil Hrabal

i read it really quickly, in my opinion a great balance of story, description, emotion

the movie from 1966 is ALSO good

set during the German ocupation of Czechoslovakia

tells a coming of age story of a young man who works at a train station, he tried to commit suicide because of sexual mishaps

a closely watched train is a train that carries weapons for soldiers

The Wonderful Years That Sucked - Michal Viewegh

do you want to have a look on czech humor? Read this

TO ME so funny but also again, shows history, satirical and ironic look on a bad time

semi-autobiographical, portrays Czechoslovakia between the Prague Spring in 1968 to the fall of communism in 1989

The movie is awesome, all of them star famous czech actors

Fun fact Michal Viewegh is the most published czech author

Might add onto this one day, I personally don't like all czech literature, but these are just great books.

Your mothers traumas

Touched you inappropriately

When you was too young

And shouldn't have understand

Now there are fingerprint

On your skin and under it

Flashbacks of things

That never happend

Flashbacks of things

That happend

Forever engraved on your mind

And your brain rather

Denies access to your memories

Than get healed

So you're treating it poorly

And it torture you right back

So messed up, so crazy

You wanna know what's wrong?

Everything then, erything now

All stuck in your heart

You stuck somewhere in the past

And time goes by

Leaving you behind

Wasted years, wasted life

Why couldn't she loved you right?

Why couldn't he?

Never mind, never mind...

Your mother made her traumas yours

Now you're carrying fingerprints

Of it everywhere

Isn't that how it works?

"It's a beautiful world when I get up in the morning and see how already the sun shines brightly.

In the morning air, everything is bathed in dew. Even old trees somehow seem to look younger when the dewdrops on the leaves shine like diamonds and gleam like rubies on fire."

Barbora Vana

[From the autograph book of Rose (Vana) Vlasak]

So Idk if I am even gonna post this since it's just some pointless shitpost.

If I decide to post this then beware of cringe and terrible skills of expressing my thoughts.

Watching Wednesday and her admiration for Edgar Allen Poe not only brought a lot of memories from my childhood of watching The Addams Family movies but also of one particular author (who also brought a lot of memories from graduation time but we don't talk about that). In my country since we are little we are introduced to one poet. Everyone knows his ballads and I would say most kids grew up with them. They are ballads from poet Karel Jaromír Erben and his work made mine and others' childhood like fr he is so iconic for us. His most famous work is his ballads collection called Kytice (it's mostly known by this title otherwise the whole name is Kytice z pověstí národních - A Bouquet of Folk Legends). I do have some favorite ones and for some reason in two of my fav ones either a baby or a child dies/is killed so Idk what that says about me. For some reason I always loved it and it was like a comfort thing for me Idk.

Can't help but think that maybe Wednesday would enjoy some of them lol.

Anyway live, love, laugh and read Kytice by Karel Jaromír Erben.
