did some of my children’s literature reading (which was a bunch of grimms fairytales!!!), now I have to challenge myself to battle my philosophy assignment, which has been kicking my poor brain a lot today but if I keep my chin up and acknowledge that nothing happens without hard work, I should be alright! It’s also mid-autumn festival 中秋節!!! happy mid-autumn, dear friends 🌙 ♡
after finishing up some minor tasks, I finally get to sit down and work on my thesis. received a phone call today that finally confirmed my enrollment into law school this year! super excited to start this new chapter, moving and all that good stuff that is to come. for now, I’m enjoying this frothy coffee and my new calendar that I got yesterday. (moleskine, weekly calendar, a long-time favorite of mine 📖)
how do people write so long posts under they photos? my mind goes blank as soon as I open the keyboard, oops.
umm, so, one of my very few new years resolutions is to learn Japanese and I’m at hiragana back again but this time I’m writing by hand and so far so good, hope I can keep up
and on photos are my city and my journals, upper one is bujo and lower is journal from flying tiger cause I still suck at this and didn’t want to use expensive things (cause I’m broke is main reason)
Happy Monday! Here’s a spread (ft. my desk space) I did with the free time I had last week with classes being nearly finished. Next week is my last week of school and I’m so very excited. I was also excited to use some beautiful artwork made by guuuay.studio in this spread! 💗✨
“Yet it does not feel like leisure. It feels like a held breath, like an eagle poised before the dive. My shoulders hunch and I cannot stop myself from looking down the empty beach. We are waiting to see what the gods will do. We do not have to wait long.” — Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles
“The barren sadness of the landscape had a strange fascination for me. I like to battle the cold winds. Do you understand what I mean? Sometimes cheerless places have more appeal to the heart than a scene of all pretty sunshine and flowers.” — Sylvia Plath, from a letter to Hans-Joachim Neupert c. February 1950

― “Humans are rarely satisfied with what they already have. The most common reaction of the human mind to achievement is not satisfaction, but craving for more.”
