Recommended: Bibliophobia by Sarah Chihaya, about which Becca Rothfield says “she writes in her stirring and sparkling new memoir, ’Since I was a child, I have secretly believed that if I read enough, one day the right book would come along and save me.’ [cont/d]

A mug which reads: I came, I saw, I forgot what I was doing. Went back, Got distracted, And have no idea, Whats going on Is this my cup? I have to pee.

Appropriatest coffee mug

Hope.

On my mind, and I really wish he weren't: William Butler Yeats.

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world

I feel that it helps you to confront the things that bother you. Yes, I understand that that is what cathartic means.

I am so tired of waiting, aren’t you, For the world to become good and beautiful and kind? Let’s take a knife and cut the world in two- And see what worms are eating At the rind. Langston Hughes

Absolutely stunning. Cheers.
