my liberation notes shifted something in my soul and never put it back.
do you ever love a fictional ship so much that it literally becomes everything you think about and then whatever you do throughout the day reminds you of them or are you normal

as some wise person on Twitter once said, via Helen DeWitt: "procrastination is how you preserve the fantasy of your potential"

persuasion is perhaps jane austen’s most heartbreaking novel bc what could possibly hurt more than seeing the person you once loved, the person whose love once made the world feel warmer, and realising how much distance has grown between you?

idk if it’s just me seeing too much of myself in anne, but the thought of having feelings so suffocating and yet having no voice to give them shape. of knowing exactly where the warmth is and being condemned to stand in the cold. persuasion hurts in ways i cannot explain.

i was 15 when i wrote to joe wright, the director of pride & prejudice (2005), practically begging him to adapt persuasion. i’m 26 now. eleven years later and apparently i’m still waiting for someone to get it.

the actor who played colonel brandon NEEDS to be recast as captain wentworth in a proper adaptation of persuasion

«[…] anne did not wish for more of such looks and speeches. his cold politeness, his ceremonious grace, were worse than anything» 💔

i genuinely emailed joe wright when i was 15, asking him if he would ever consider making a film adaptation of persuasion. i wanted it THAT badly.
Every Jane Austen novel has at least one great adaptation, except for her best novel, Persuasion, which also happens to have her best male lead, Captain Wentworth. The injustice of it all.

Ho letto un tweet che diceva che le lucciole risposano finché non è sicuro tornare a brillare. Perciò, se ti senti spento, non significa che non sai più brillare ma che stai recuperando le energie per tornare a farlo ❤️‍🩹

«your twenties and thirties aren’t the season when the results come. they’re the time when, after spring, summer begins: you’re growing lush and green, but you’ll feel the pressure to already be bearing fruit» every country should be having more conversations like this and giving psychiatrists a platform to talk about the alarming state of young people’s mental health. we’re raising a generation that feels guilty for growing at its own pace.
혼자 버티고 있는 20, 30대에게 해주고 싶은 말은? 20,30대는 성과가 나오는 계절은 아니거든요. 봄 지나서 여름이 시작된 시기라 한참 초록으로 성장하는데 열매를 내놔야할 것 같은 압박에 시달리실거에요. 지금 사회에서 중요하다고 압박하는 것들은 다 변해요. 다치지말고 건강 해치지 말고 변화를 맞이할 때 적응할 에너지를 만들기 위해 잠도 푹 주무시고 돈도 좀 모아두셨으면 좋겠습니다.

This part of mido in ep 1 didn’t get the correct translation here: mido actually corrects herself and says “ your love…. No your sense of responsibility…” this highlights so much how she clocked he doesn’t have any love for her anymore…

having a misogynistic mother who worships the ground her son walks on while constantly belittling her daughter is a special kind of hell #summervacation

being a daughter with a brother is realizing that your mother can spend her whole life suffering under patriarchy and still turn around and teach you to serve the very men she’s spent her life serving. patriarchy really does reproduce itself inside the home #summervacation.

i was really missing the feeling of looking forward to a new episode every week #summervacation
you watch 4 good movies in a row and suddenly life is worth living again.

it’s so sad how we all had big dreams for our future when we were young (even if reality eventually hit us) but she doesn’t even seem to want anything from life. she’s just surviving through the day, through the week, through the year #summervacation
