nobody in greek mythology, especially the men and noble women, were good people when looking at them with modern morality. the sooner you can realize that and stop trying to justify their actions in order to enjoy the stories, the sooner you can start to genuinely empathize with and see the shared humanity in the narratives of these people from a deeply alien time, whose stories, although (and partially because) they come out of a culture built on hierarchy and exploitation and violence, still resonate with us today
someone wrote this inside of the copy of the little prince i got at the thrift store
”Life is always just today and the today you have to try to enjoy, not tomorrow or the day after”

there you go hope you enjoy!
To be in love with the night sky
To figure out its ways
Where each constellation starts
And where the Milky-way lays
Telling Cassiopeia she is pretty
Because you know she wanted to hear it
Trusting her with your pain and screams
And telling her your dreams.
To know the phases of the Moon by heart
To shiver at your window on a cold night
Because you had to say goodbye to Mars
Than having your dreams guarded by the stars.
Sleepy eyes
Words slippin' through
Tired nights
I'm thinking 'bout you
Link to the observatory I got that picture from
i hate when other people are funnier than me.
