Once in a while,
a classroom alive with chatter gets quiet abruptly, then all you hear is the scratching of pencils and pens against paper with the occasional rustle of turning pages.
It hits you, then...consciousness.
Moments like that make me ache with bittersweet feelings.
Like when I'm home alone and sunlight seeps into my living room uninvited; defying me.
Like how the moonlight has a life of its own, scaring me.
Like a good fairytale that sends chills up your soul.
Like the distant echoes of a church bell and the chants that follow.
Like art and polaroids of frozen time.
It's all I think about during my long commutes to school; hyper aware, melting into the window-seat as the wind brings warped memories. Cold air with a hint of rot, courtesy of a city buzzing with life.
So I believe. Against my 'better' judgement.

Woke up today and what do I see? A trailer for Wuthering Heights 2026. What on God's green earth is THAT?!😖

Nope! I'd rather watch Kate Bush's WH music video on a 2 hour loop than this abomination.

People are saying it's not Wuthering Heights, it's "Wuthering Heights" (in quotations so that we wouldn't take it as a direct adaptation). Screw that! As if they're not marketing it as an adaptation! I hate that I'm enraged by this cause rage is what sells the film.

Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey
Allowing myself to enjoy life doesn't have to be grand. It could be the simple act of decorating my room, which currently looks like a tomb. I've never let myself feel too comfortable in my own room, because it won't stay mine forever. One symptom of my fear of attachment. But it's also a symptom of my iconophobia. I am afraid of idolizing objects and pictures. For the longest time, half of me even fought against my love for books.
Materialism and consumerism scare me but the other extreme, hyper minimalism and monasticism also scare me.
There has to be a way to balance these.

Final final lol It was one hell of a project and I loved it. #ana_paints
Talent monopolization goin on🔥
I tell myself, don't be hard to the touch. Let beauty move you. And old trees renew your hope. Let mornings weaken your bones and night skies nourish your soul. Let music move you to tears and people change your opinions. Let God love you to life and surprise you at places you least expected Him.
Postpone your death. Be alive for now. You can be dead when you die.
So, be soft to the touch.

A dear friend of mine and a lover of peak cinema introduced me to a lot of films. I would say Barry Lyndon is the best of them. Thank you @Lshrike_3 . You teach me so much and you have impeccable taste! 💜
