we’re really at that point in the year where no one cares about anything huh
My psych professor mentioned swaddling in lecture so I emailed him a picture of me being swaddled in my dorm room and asked if I could get extra credit because it was really hot in there and I got really sweaty and he was like “fabulous, sure”
I’m going to miss the Honors Advisor from my university.
This is definitely my favorite email i’ve recieved from a professor, with the subject line “back at it”.
please keep this in mind
i read CS Lewis’ A Grief Observed one time years ago and i’m still not recovered from it
— A Grief Observed: part i-ii, C.S. Lewis x
I need y'all to understand that he wrote this famous passage in the middle of her brief remission -
'Do not let your happiness depend on something you may lose.' 'Don’t put your goods in a leaky vessel.' 'Don’t spend too much on a house you may be turned out of.' There is no man alive who responds more naturally than I to such canny maxims. I am a safety-first creature. Of all arguments against love none makes so strong an appeal to my nature as “Careful! This might lead you to suffering”. There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket — safe, dark, motionless, airless — it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.
A Grief Observed is Lewis' most vulnerable, authentic work and is more worth reading than everything else he wrote combined.
helen walne photos that make me feel a certain way
Finally getting to share my biggest art project yet!
The art exhibit yesterday was absolutely lovely, the amount of support and kind words was genuinely unbelievable! Thank you to everybody who supported me and followed my journey while making this massive project!
Super Rough Sketch for Raffles Week 2025!
(theme: literature)
This is supposed to be Bunny typing out some of the Raffles stories (particularly ‘The Knees of The Gods’). It didn’t turn out how I was imagining it to and it’s very rough but oh well it’s all practice!
(Also, song recommendation for ‘The Knees of The Gods’: ‘The Soldiering Life’ by the Decemberists)
