When Camus said “choose coffee,” I took that literally. That’s all I’ve had for “food” today. Two cups of coffee. 😎 that’s it. I sure am choosing coffee.

Special Thank You To:
(Those who gave me so much trauma in my life! I wouldn’t have been a good writer without your help!)
It amazes me that I have never smoked before considering how much I love Albert Camus.
(My friends kindly offer many times and always hand it over, but it’s not something I want to try. I know myself, and I know how easily I get addicted to things that soothe me.)
What is your next read after Dracula?
Sadly I haven’t been reading Dracula lately due to my load of uni books I have to read instead. But afterwards… it’s pretty up in the air. I have a lot of books ready for me, I just need to narrow down which one I will read next. I’ve been considering Albert Camus’ The Myth of Sisyphus (which I’ve started), or Camus/Kafka/Plath’s journals and diaries. I’ve also considered starting American Psycho (Ellis), Black Chalk (Yates), or The Lying Game (Ware) sometime soon.
Or, tomorrow, I want to go try to find a copy of Interview With the Vampire by Anne Rice. I started reading this book when I found a copy of it in a study room in South Korea. Obviously I had to leave it there since it wasn’t mine, but I really enjoyed what I read so far.
Thank you for your question:) What are you reading at the moment?
"My deepest joy is to write."
-Albert Camus, in Carnets 1935-1942
RIP Camus, he would've thought you were a cool person
I think he would’ve called me an emo ..
Rip Camus, he would’ve thought I was a loser

Rip Camus, he would have loved little sweet treats
Honestly sometimes I’m so hot and overwhelmed in the summer I feel like I could also… you know. Twins.
rip Camus… he would have loved you :(
This is the best compliment I have ever received. Thank you so much. I love you. And Camus. <3

Can i get some book recommendations for worsening my depressive episodes please? ☺
Oh my, did you come to the right place. You may have already read Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, but I recommend it anyway. I also recommend The Fall or even The Stranger by Albert Camus. There is a short story titled “Bartleby the Scrivner” by Herman Melville and this one is also really good and depressing. Perhaps Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. Or even the play Our Town by Thornton Wilder. The short story titled “Story of an Hour” is an interesting and sad little piece by Kate Chopin. Or, one of my favorites, the play Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller.
Let me know what you think and if you need anymore. Also, feel better soon ahahah, my dms are always open
