Imagine Not Reinventing Yourself With Each Piece Of Writing You Read

so luke is gonna have quinn and jack cheering him on during playoffs

that’s their baby 😭

dark academia but make it filipino

reading noli and fili outside of class; understanding the anger, the ire; wishing that basilio never threw away the lamp

foregoing the tweed and the wool because they’re just not options in this tropical heat

staring longingly at the textile exhibits in the museum: the lovely piña, the beautiful indigenous patterns

never shy about your political opinion because our forefathers didn’t die for this bullshit

trying to find the longest sentence in nick joaquin’s stories for fun

carrying yourself with pride, knowing that the blood of revolutionaries flows through your veins

desperately searching for more of leona florentino’s poems as if your gay life depended on it

jack's birthday in 10 days !!

“You get a strange feeling when you’re about to leave a place. Like you’ll not only miss the people you love but you’ll miss the person you are now at this time and this place because you’ll never be this way ever again.”

— Azar Nafisi; Reading Lolita in Tehran

i agree that happiness is a choice but i have also realized that not everyone has happiness in their options

new realizations and sweeping feelings around old trauma does not mean you're more broken than you thought you were, if anything it means you're more healed than you may have noticed. pain does not show up in full until your being believes that your mind and body has the capacity to hold, process and move through it
