Take Time For Yourself

Anyone else wanna be a hot, mysterious bookkeeper, who owns a bookshop in a quiet village and makes mysterious and perfect book suggestions?

“Let yourself be strangely drawn by the quiet pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.”

I want a cow.

An awesome cow like this one.

Over the hills and far away.

Space in between, the space around, the space in the mind.

Me and the other.

Le Guin forever

« I think what you mostly do when you find you really are alone is to panic. You rush to the opposite extreme and pack yourself into groups - clubs, teams, societies, types. You suddenly start dressing exactly like the others. It’s a way of being invisible. The way you sew the patches on the holes in your blue jeans becomes incredibly important. If you do it wrong you’re not with it. That’s a peculiar phrase, you know? With it. With what? With them. With the others. All together. Safety in numbers. I’m not me. […] I’m a popular kid. I’m my friend’s friend. […] I’m a member. […] You can’t see me, all you can see is us. We’re safe. And if We see You standing alone by yourself, if you’re lucky we’ll ignore you. If you’re not lucky, we might throw rocks. Because we don’t like people standing there with the wrong kind of patches on their jeans reminding us that we’re each alone and none of us is safe. »

“Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.”
