you crave meaning but reject every answer? what are you? written by Camus?

"you will burn and you will burn out; you will be healed and come back again." - Fyodor Dostoevsky

Life is short. Live it. Fear is natural. Face it. Memory is powerful. Use it.

'Warning' - poem by Jenny Joseph

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter. I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells And run my stick along the public railings And make up for the sobriety of my youth. I shall go out in my slippers in the rain And pick flowers in other people's gardens And learn to spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat And eat three pounds of sausages at a go Or only bread and pickle for a week And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry And pay our rent and not swear in the street And set a good example for the children. We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a little now? So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

My hot tip for life is that there is nothing more fun than enabling an academic to talk about their special interest. Like, I will listen all day to a stodgy old phd waxing poetic about the five years they spent studying giant squid in the arctic. I could be entertained for hours by a classics major telling me all about niche beef between two writers in the 17th century. Literally nothing better, highly recommend it, 10/10.
