Love is the active concern for the life and the growth of that which we love.

– The Art of Loving, Erich Fromm

It stands plain as a wardrobe, what we know,

Have always known, know that we can’t escape,

Yet can’t accept. One side will have to go.

– Aubade by Philip Larkin

Of course she was neurotic, that goes without saying. It was a neurosis that kept her going, my God, at least that: crutches. Often she gazed at the jewels, satin clothes—just to mortify herself a bit. Because she needed to find herself and suffering a little is a way of finding.

– Hour of the Star

Happy BTS year🥳💜

Remember, the time of year
when the future appears
like a blank sheet of paper
a clean calendar, a new chance.
On thick white snow
you vow fresh footprints
then watch them go
with the wind’s hearty gust.
Fill your glass. Here’s tae us. Promises
made to be broken, made to last.

– Promise, Jackie Kay

Seems like a fine sum up of the month (or year) passing by to me.

What are days for?
Days are where we live.
They come, they wake us
Time and time over.
They are to be happy in:
Where can we live but days?
Ah, solving that question
Brings the priest and the doctor
In their long coats
Running over the fields.

– Days by Philip Larkin

Nature is the very best example of integration. Things grow differently when they’re damaged, showing us how to occupy strange new ground to bloom red instead of green. We can be found, brighter than before.

– Bright Young Women

One must not get too attached to the things of this world.

– The Buddha in the Attic

what a relief they have each other, what a relief bts are 7 ♡

"November came and went, one day at a time, without my speaking to anyone. Occasionally a wind from the depths of autumn hit my window with a dry rattle."

“It was very nice to find that out for myself. What I don’t like.”

–The Answer Is No

I get that feeling, i saw all 7 recently in a dream and the whole day was... yeah

I spent a week making hand made papers at home. I'm very satisfied with the results and happy to have recycled waste papers. There are about 30 or so. Haven't thought of how to utilise all of them yet other than making one or two bookmarks, so I'm open to any suggestions(⁠.❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)

📌

After listening to the album several times I'm in love with it. 🎧 Happy has no skips!! Jin has like everytime outdone himself; his voice is so soothing so touching that i ended tearing up. I'll be there, another level, ♥️on the window are def my favs!! Falling too. actually the whole album😭 #HappyJin

Kya thought of the poem by Galway Kinnell that Ma had underlined in her book:
I have to say I am relieved it is over:
At the end I could feel only pity
For that urge toward more life.
. . . Goodbye.

—Where The Crawdads Sing

the sky grounding me a little bit tonight

i love taking pics of nature. always reminds me of the bigger picture ✨

"—one more bit of advice: to keep growing, silently and earnestly, through your whole development; you couldn’t disturb it any more violently than by looking outside and waiting for outside answers to questions that only your innermost feeling, in your quietest hour, can perhaps answer." —Rilke

“cognitive empathy” is overrated as a force for good. After all, the ability to accurately read the desires and motivations of others is a hallmark of the successful psychopath and can be used for cruelty and exploitation.

– Against Empathy

But when we ignore the body, we are more easily victimized by it.
- the unbearable lightness of being

As a doctor, you have a sense of what it’s like to be sick, but until you’ve gone through it yourself, you don’t really know. It’s like falling in love or having a kid. You don’t appreciate the mounds of paperwork that come along with it, or the little things.
- When Breath Becomes Air
