I spent my evening reading poetry to my cat and I couldn’t be happier (or weirder, to be honest).

DID NOT FINISH: 54%

poetry and my brain are not friends and reading this on my own bc i had already dropped out and was still barely getting out of my room was the worst way to try and read poetry. and no, i am not picking this back up.

Qu'est-ce qu'on fait quand on déprime ? On lit les fleurs du mal. Est-ce que ça nous aide à sortir de notre dépression ? Absolument pas. Est-ce que ça nous pousse à sombrer encore plus loin et à croire à tord que notre chambre qu'on n'a pas rangée depuis deux semaines n'est pas désordonnée mais juste une romantique réflection de notre mélancolie ? Oui. Est-ce sain ? Non. Va-t-on continuer à le faire ? Oui.
