What I'd really like is for someone to objectively watch me for a week or so. And then just sit down with me for a few hours and explain to me what I am like, and how I look to others and what my personality is in detail and how I need to improve. Where do I sign up for that?

top 10 books of 2022

i read 50 books this year and i’m going to share my top 10 and what i loved most about them (in no particular order)

1. writers & lovers by lily king - this book legitimately changed my life by reminding me of how desperate i am to lead a creative life. there are certain books that make you want to be a writer. this is one. featuring clean-cut, economical prose that gets straight to the point, and the point is diving into one of the most compelling characters i’ve had the honor to spend a story with. i read it twice this year because i will never be ready to part with this main character.

2. last night at the telegraph club by malinda lo - this was a reread for me and i appreciated it infinitely more the second time. the vividness of the writing strikes me as a particular triumph of this work. you can feel every emotion, see and hear every setting. that and a deeply engaging narrative make it one of those books that i continue to think about constantly.

3. crush by richard siken - my favorite poetry collection i have read, and reread, both within this year. he is one of those writers that reminds you how amazing it is to be a human that can feel and say so much. sharp images, glorious repitition, and stunning formatting that has inspired much of my own adventure into the world of unique poetic structure on the page.

4. homegoing by yaa gyasi - probably one of the most ingenious books i have ever read. to this day i fail to understand how it is possible to cover so much in so few pages and not leave the reader feeling like something is missing, but she certainly does it. sweeping multi-generational story where each chapter reads like both an exquisite short story that could stand on its own and a part of the richly woven whole. phenomenal novel that i wholeheartedly believe will be a classic in the future.

5. the idiot by elif batuman - another character that weaseled her way into my brain and has never left. a plotless, indulgent, meandering character study that struck such a cord with me. i read this at the exact right time in my life and for the week that i was making my way through it, there was no distinction between the narrator and myself in my mind. i don’t know how to explain this, but i was narrating my own life through this character’s eyes. captivating.

6. piranesi by susanna clarke - an exemplary work of fantasy that explores the nuances of knowledge and gratitude, balancing expertly between critiquing the pursuit of knowledge and power and exalting wonder, curiosity, and science. a book written in journal entries which flows perfectly and never feels choppy. leaves you thinking differently about the world.

7. open water by caleb azumah nelson - a short novella you can read in a day, and you will have to, as it is so enchanting and haunting that you cannot stop. it fully took over my mind until i finished it. it features second person narration which creates an unmatched level of closeness between reader and narrator. triumphantly evocative, intimate, and precise prose. the most poetic novel(la) i've had the pleasure of reading since on earth we're briefly gorgeous.

8. the great believers by rebecca makkai - the highlight of this book is the dense prose; every sentence feels perfectly chosen and hits you just as hard as the last. there is never a break, never a breather from the stunning writing. for that reason it is a slow book to move through, but in the best way. also accomplishes using dual pov/timelines in a way that does not detract from the fluidity of the work. very heavy subject matter but imbued with hope, gratitude, and affection.

9. the starless sea by erin morgenstern - prior to reading piranesi, this was my favorite fantasy read of the year. the world is so engrossing and the formatting of the novel is unique and inventive. vivid world builidng and a meandering, cris-crossing plot that enthralls from the beginning. an ode to humanity and the interconnectedness of the stories we tell.

10. babel by r.f. kuang - a lengthy novel that is well worth the time it takes, featuring a slate of morally ambiguous young people bumping up against the limits of their social power. similarly to piranesi, it embraces curiosity, drive, passion, and learning while chastising the intrenchment of power in academia. kuang cements herself as figurehead of the historical fantasy subgenre, tapping into its full potential.

Hooked on you like an addiction, this could be obsession

Your fingers gripping the sheets, my hands grabbing your throat

You whisper "harder," I quietly comply, your moans my only desire

This is carnal captivation, dripping from your parted lips

God girl, you have me wrapped around your finger

Good girl, you're wrapped around my fingers

K.a.s

Her eyes are dark brown. No! Not the hazel or chestnut, the actual dark brown. If you look closely, you'll know how dangerously mysterious they are, a cozy comfort yet a disaster got you wanting to look more and yet to never look again, countless stories and something strange. Outlined by that black mist her dark brown eyes there hides a blank longing a hope that would never come true and in all that agony yet so mysterious yet so true. Only if you could see how much of that brown holds you, you'll know my love, her every shade defines for you. ~Shambhavi Singh

When you’re looking for just ONE more pink aesthetic pic and somehow, somehow, end up with at least 78 new pins on feminism🫠

Pinterestlife™

To be honest with you, it baffles me why men behave this way. I just think, ‘If you had Love in your heart you wouldn’t do the things you punish women with…’ The aggression, the violence; what for? And, why?

If I were a man I wouldn’t treat me like that.

To all sexists out there: before you yell at a feminist, listen to their story first. Even if they’re regretfully hateful… you’ll see—the hate is pretty much earnt🫣

‘Kill a man? I like it.’🤷🏻‍♀️🗡😈

I don't write because i think I have something to say. I write because if i don't, everything feels even worse.

When you find me, I look like clay. A mound full of potential for you to work and mold as you see fit. But, the more work you put in, the more you notice. What I'm made of doesn't move the right way, it doesn't hold its shape. Whenever you feel you've got it just right, it falls back into that mound you found at first. With time, it grows less and less desirable. You stop seeing any potential in it, because the potential was never there. It was a beautiful illusion created by this, fool's clay.

My life is just memories of me being left behind by people I treasure the most. I spent all those years wondering what is wrong with me and why can’t I make anyone stay. And now, my abandonment issues is stopping me from creating genuine connection with people because it makes me bail on people I get attached to out of my own will. Thinking that the connection is temporary and they’re gonna leave me soon makes me want to detach myself first to avoid much bigger emotional damages.
