“You Know, I Firmly Hope To Be Canonized One Day. I Reek Of Virtue.”

I was so happy the november depression didn’t hit me at all this year

and then

the end of december comes around and brings the trinity of doom: melancholy, anxiety and existential dread

1am, i'm reading 'hiperculturalidade', and it's so good. probably, i'll be finishing it on thursday or friday.

also, i read today 'blue horses' by mary oliver and liked it. wasn't too invested tho, but it's great.

and in the morning, i was able to read a lot of 'the idiot' by elif batuman. this book is making me so happy! her writing is amazing and just to be in selin's mind is fascinating.

be kind to yourselves 🤍🌧

camus was so gorgeous, wasn't him? and had such a strong personality. innocent tho, an idealistic. you can easily fall in love with him just by reading about his history.

(yes, it's one of my inspirations if you couldn't tell already!) 🤍🌧

"We must mend what has been torn apart, make justice imaginable again in a world so obviously unjust, give happiness a meaning once more..."

from Lyrical and Critical essays by Albert Camus

hi again! back here pretending i didn't say i'd be posting more and then disappeared. i hope there's someone here still, if there's not it's ok, let it be just me and my own tumblr shadow.

BUT if there is, i hope you're ok. been a long time, alot happened, it always does.

i went to the movies to watch one of my favorite movies of the year: 'ainda estou aqui' (i'm still here) by walter salles. it's really nice to see a brazilian film doing so well internationally.

there's a promo going on and i bought these books over ☝🏼 there. as always, camus, clarice and byung-chul han; then, ivan turgueniev, woolf (i've been wanting to buy for a long time), and today i received a dostoievski book too 👇🏼!

unfortunately 2 weeks (maybe?) ago, i got hurt on my left foot. i tried to get better but it didn't work; so yesterday during our very first game in the competition, it got worse. i had to go to the hospital. the result is me not allowed to put my left foot on the ground and jumping around the house on one leg only.

and to wrap it up, i literally just started 'the substance'. don't have anything to say yet cause i'm 10 minutes in - but the photography is insane! really really good. i hope the hype is well deserved.

to all of you, the ones reading or not, i wish you peace of mind. have a real nice december! 🤲🏼🩶
