Astrid Aillume

"A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us."
― Franz Kafka
But are those the only books truly worth the name, books that wield axes?

"Seldom have I known any profound being that had anything to say to this world, unless forced to stammer out something by way of getting a living. Oh! happy that the world is such an excellent listener!"
― Herman Melville, Moby Dick
Melville's irony becomes prophecy.

I’ve seen this show before as well. It’s really fun, and their whole escape kicks off because of a series of unexpected mishaps.

Tagore quote on crossing sea, Astrid Aillume already standing in rough water near shore, courageously preparing to walk deeper into waves

"I find it wholesome to be alone the greater part of the time. To be in company, even with the best, is soon wearisome and dissipating. I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude."
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden

I dream of having a cozy reading room and a piano room, with a peaceful lake outside. I’d love to watch the sunset and listen to the rain. I hope all our dreams come true someday.

The show dragged a little, and I think McConaughey fits better in something like The Wolf of Wall Street.

To be honest, I thought the show was just okay.

This photo totally reminds me of that lyric—‘Living without you's like TV in black and white. You turned me on and brought color into my life.’

It’s so sweet. I love love stories like that. I guess only a lucky few ever get to experience that kind of love, since love always feels so close but still out of reach.

Love stories in our heads are always more romantic than real life.

I can almost smell autumn in the air. Waiting for fall to arrive feels like going on a romantic journey.

Hey Paula, I really enjoy chatting with you on Bluesky. If possible, please don’t leave. Can I ask—what’s going on?

Just sitting here, soaking in the quiet of late summer. How do I even say goodbye to this?

I don’t collect them, but I had some pretty cool marbles when I was a kid.

I bet these two literary giants would definitely keep an eye on each other, even if they didn’t like each other’s work.😃

Which writer do you think has a way with words that makes things jump off the page?

Dickinson did read Whitman's work, but they never wrote to each other. At least there's no record of it.

Aww, so cute! Is that an owl?

Appreciate the repost!🤩

The greatest distance in the world #6: Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson
It's amazing. They were both great poets from the same time and country, but they never met.

It’s such a blessing to have someone who really understands you and makes you feel safe enough to be yourself.

That's a solid point.👍

You know, courage is one of the best qualities you can have. Without it, you’d never step out and see all the amazing things out there.

That's also a fact.👍

Butterflies always add a touch of magic, like something out of a myth.✨

Really appreciate the repost!✨

No, it's not her fault.
