Words in my mind, Poems in my soul

19/06/2018 oxford, you’re beautiful

“Don’t say that poetry, my friend, is beautiful or powerful for there is no powerful or beautiful poetry. There is poetry that strikes you, secretly with the diseases of writing and schizophrenia, and you rave and your self leaves you for another, and you say: ‘I am this one or that one and I am not me.’ You spend time examining words. And when you find a pulse for them, they stretch up and whisper in your ear: ‘Come close and go away, be a stranger and be one with us.’” Mahmoud Darwish, from An Infectious Disease

13/03/2020 • 08/100 days of productivity

I’m really bad of keeping track of this whole #100daysofproductivity thing - I’ve definitely studied more than 8 days this year (yikes), but I feel guilty about recording it as a “day of productivity” if I don’t feel like I was productive “enough” or didn’t apportion my time properly. 😶😶

Kind of still having a rough go at it with my menta health, but it’s still much better than last year, so I guess there’s that. It’s really hard getting through my classes, but gotta keep my chin up. Can’t wait to transfer next semester!

I’m such a fan of low soft lighting like turn off that room light and turn on a lamp bitch

can’t save people you love from dying, can’t save the country from tories or the planet from plastic, can’t hold onto time or make memories stay clear or anything really can you. but you can go on, you can write. writing things down keeps them in existence, in a way
