"Thoughts On Women?" Yeah Pretty Much Constantly

dostoyevsky kinda ate with “your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing.”

this body can’t hold me

haruki murakami “norwegian wood” // embroidery by ana teresa barboza // mitski “goodbye, my danish sweetheart” // erin tucker (2013) “frayed and fragile” // unknown // art by annegret soltau // fiona apple “heavy balloon” // chloe gong “these violent delights”

i'm a slut for smart people who can teach me stuff without making me feel dumb.

Time passes ever so slowly and it reminds me that life is lovely

Goncharov (1973)

the botany students

dozens of houseplants growing in your room

a pocket guide to local flora tucked in your backpack

studying the complex anatomy of plants

performing experiments to see how plants grow under different conditions

long walks, identifying the species you see along the way

detailed botanical diagrams

the humid air of a greenhouse

practicing sketches, working to accurately capture each leaf and petal

pressing samples beneath heavy textbooks

understanding the complex nature of ecosystems

wildflowers tucked into your hair

a crumbling stone wall, overgrown with moss and ivy

learning to distinguish edible and poisonous plants

watching a graft take hold

fingertips stained with chlorophyll and dirt

a cup of herbal tea, slowly growing cold as you study for an exam

the smell of earth just after a rainstorm

wandering through a forest, counting the types of trees you pass

knowing what plants to use for home remedies

tending to your garden

cool, foggy mornings, walking through dew covered grass

collecting samples for further study, handling the delicate specimens with care

a sense of awe at the huge variety in plant species

the rare elegance of flowers that bloom only once a decade

are lab coats widely used and easy to get? yes.

has everyone whos been to a conventional high school had to wear one? yes.

do i still wear mine like it's a status symbol, with absolute pride as i walk the uni halls? you bet!

why must I work? why can't I just sleep, drink soup and listen to smart people being smart =(
