Art is just so genuinely impressive to me like being able to sketch people from memory and paint

"When you stare into the abyss the abyss stares back at you."

-Friedrich Nietzsche

When you feel you have lost everything, you still have

books

unexpected kindness in strangers

the rest of the world to travel

languages to learn

animals to take care of

volunteer work to do

the power of a good night’s rest

the changing of seasons

infinite things to learn

billions of people to meet and possibly love

billions of people who might love you back

Needed this today

And so being young and dipped in folly I fell in love with melancholy.

Edgar Allan Poe, Romance 1831

you know what fuck school im heading to the forest to disappear and become a local cryptid
