I can’t sleep anymore, I have in my head all the words he said, all the ones that I can’t wait to tell him. I resisted. I said: I’m not like Pinuccia, I can do what I like, I can start and stop, it’s a game. I kept my lips pressed together, then I said to myself well, really, what’s a kiss, and I discovered what it was, I didn’t know—I swear to you that I didn’t know—and now I can’t do without it.

oh fuck

officially in my french literature era

dnf.. this is ridiculous

every excrept she writes just feels revolutionary

i find myself highlighting pages— not lines, pages of this. i get it now, i get the hype over Sylvia Plath because she articulates her raw thoughts so honestly yet poetically enough, and don’t let me start on the exquisite use of words. i’m just utterly overjoyed to have 700 pages worth of this.

a little sad about the number of my reads this year, but rather very pleased with the quality of my selection. the thing about finally finding a type that you truly connect with is that you will end up abandoning many books halfway because you just know they’re not for you, but the satisfaction is twice as great when finishing ones you really get.
looking forward to what 2023 has in store for me.

i’m sipping this like fine wine

i never realize how messed up my notion of love is until i get hooked on books like this

idk how i feel about this tbh..

dnf.. maybe in five years from now?

i love the academic setting but this one is just not doing it for me..

its a shame but i won’t be finishing this one. i just feel like i am not truly grasping its concepts. perhaps one day, later in life, i’ll dive into it again, and be able to appreciate it beauty appropriately.

i definitely get the hype around this one
