“I Feel Such A Creative Force In Me: I Am Convinced That There Will Be A Time When, Let Us Say, I Will

“I feel such a creative force in me: I am convinced that there will be a time when, let us say, I will make something good every day, on a regular basis....I am doing my very best to make every effort because I am longing so much to make beautiful things. But beautiful things mean painstaking work, disappointment, and perseverance.”

― Vincent Van Gogh, The Letters of Vincent van Gogh

“I do not write every day, I read every day, think every day, work in the garden every day, and recognize in nature the same slow complicity. The same inevitability. The moment will arrive, always it does, it can be predicted but it cannot be demanded. I do not think of this as inspiration. I think of it as readiness.”

— Jeanette Winterson, from Art Objects (1995)

jesus fucking christ you don't understand nothing will ever compare to the first time i read adam parrish describing himself as lonesome. like no i am not alone nor lonely exactly i'm just fundamentally apart from people i'm still close with because of reasons outside of my control. like genuinely out of my control i'm not just saying that. i am in pure essence Something Else. an entirely separate item. people love me. like me even. i've got friends. i engage with them in a meaningful way. i am just slightly apart and you can barely see the separation but it is there and girl i feel that separation as if i were feeling myself breathing. is this what it means to exist

Fuck enemies to lovers nothing will ever give me the inexplicable feelings and vibes as a group of friends who are completely different from each other and have tons of problems but still stick together trough it all because they just love each other so much that they became a family. Found family trope has my whole heart srsly

i think i like aristotle and dante discover the secrets of the universe so much because ari was the only 15-16 year old character that actually acted like he was 15-16. like he was confused and uncomfortable with himself he didn't feel like he was a real person yet his thoughts weren't complex but they were surprisingly deep he wasn't sure when he was supposed to start kissing people or drinking alcohol or anything he loved his parents but didn't know how to talk to them he was so sixteen years old and it felt so honest and can you tell how much i love this book

"what did students do before chatgpt?" well one time i forgot i had a history essay due at my 10am class the morning of so over the course of my 30 minute bus ride to school i awkwardly used by backpack as a desk, sped wrote the essay, and got an A on it.

six months later i re-read the essay prior to the final exam, went 'ohhhh yeah i remember this', got a question on that topic, and aced it.

point being that actually doing the work is how you learn the material and internalize it. ChatGPT can give you a short cut but it won't build you the the muscles.
