The early diary of Anaïs Nin, 1903-1977
Romantic academia:
- Going on study dates to pretty libraries, fighting to find a seat next to each other.
- On discord listening to them go through a powerpoint the night before their big presentation.
- The Arts/Humanities one proof-reading the STEM one's motivation letters/long emails.
- Reading through interesting research in bed together, sharing the one phone screen.
- Alternating between who is the one making tea for the study session. (Bonus: matching study mugs)
- Study breaks include marveling over some super niche knowledge acquired during the study session.
- Emailing an article as a pdf, and titling the email "I thought you'd find this interesting :-)"
- Celebrating together when a big assignment gets done. Setting a timer for a cuddle break when the assignment work gets too overwhelming.
Bonus: I'm a native Lithuanian speaker, and my bf really really likes the research done by a Lithuanian father-son duo. Before knowing they were related, he (with a straight face) asked me is 'Pyragas' a common last name. I laughed out loud and he was super confused, until I told him this word translates to Cake. No, Mr. Cake is not a common last name at all ahahha
“There is a time for any fledgling artist where one’s taste exceeds one’s abilities. The only way to get through this period is to make things anyway.”
— Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
“Finally, from so little sleeping and so much reading, his brain dried up and he went completely out of his mind.”
— Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
when you start reading again and it's like oh. oh . the sun actually does still shine.

Summer reminder that there is no wrong way to have a body. Dress how you want (but please take the weather into account, so you feel well) . And remember to wear suncreen and hydrate. The best outfit is the outfit that makes you happy, and the only thing you need for a summer body is to have a body in the summer, the same way you just need to own a bikini to have a bikini body, the same way you just have to have a body and be at the beach to have a beach body. Also, I know for a fact that you existing just the way you are, makes it easier for others to do the same. I hope you have a lovely summer! 🌸
È il compleanno di mia sorella. Per festeggiare siamo andati a cena da lei e mio padre è stato incredibilmente trattabile per tutta la sera. Appena tornati a casa ha ricominciato a urlare senza motivo. Capisco che tornare a casa con la figlia che non gli interessa sia deludente, ma così mi pare eccessivo.
I want a soft connection. I want to be asked how my day went and if I need anything. I want forehead kisses. I want the back of my hand kissed at red lights. I want to be asked how I’m mentally feeling. I want to hold hands everywhere we go.
