“Forgive me, for all the things I did but mostly for the ones that I did not.”
― Donna Tartt, The Secret History
the divine, only in dreams
I don’t feel guilt at being unsociable, though I may sometimes regret it because my loneliness is painful. But when I move into the world, it feels like a moral fall — like seeking love in a whorehouse.
Susan Sontag, As Consciousness Is Harnessed To Flesh: Journals & Notebooks, 1964 - 1980
It’s crazy when you stop to think about how many times you’ve thought to yourself, “This is it. I just can’t bear to do it anymore. I’m done.” And yet here you are. You’re still breathing, still living, still fighting for joy, for life, for light, for love. And you are loved. For as much as you may be struggling right now, you’re here. You’re strong as hell. Don’t forget it, kid.

i found a few collins classics in the bookstore and i really wanted to buy Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species but i decided to save it for another time it was also hardbound and therefore very expensive huhu.
penguin classics are unfortunately far out of my budget but collins classics are a great replacement for them because they're way cheaper :> i'm going to be super busy reading all of them during christmas break.
while at the bookstore, there were two girls beside me that were talking about the classics in the bookshelf in front of us. it's really nice to see that more people are appreciating classic literature, especially in our country where it's not really popular and well-known, not like other western countries.
anyways, here are the books i bought from the bookstore. hopefully, my relatives leave me alone while i'm reading :>
