“Body, remember not only how deeply you were loved,
not only the any beds where you lay,
but also those desires that flashed
openly in their eyes
or trembled in the voice - and were thwarted
by some chance impediment.”- C.P. Cavafy, Remember, Body…

“But I’m not dead,” you say.
Ha.
Not yet.

Because I’m so awfully terrified of my schedule next semester, I decided to learn biochem over the summer. I happened to have a free biochem mcat prep course from Kaplan and even though I’m not far in yet, I’m super excited to learn it! If any of you have any advice on self-studying biochem, I’d absolutely appreciate it!

2When we first met
When we first met
I hoped that we
Could be like honey
I hoped that our friendship
May never expire
When we first met
You were fed up
Bored of life
And I was a distraction
Now you are fed up
Full to the brim
And so distracted
When we first met
I was so lost
In my eyes you were the way
Now I see you in the distance
So far away
When we first met
I believed you when you said
That you truly cared
And now I don’t know
What happened
What changed
When we first met
I tried to give you the best parts of me
You rejected that and took all of me
And with that
You set me free
When we first met
Everything was bright and I was blinded
Now it’s all so dull and uninviting
And I know that you are hurting too
But I don’t know what to do
3I recently learned that those Greek/Roman sculptures that look all sleek and white were actually painted. It just that later on it did not fit the new era “aesthetic” so they scrubbed the paint off. That means all that hard work in the paint job was washed away. It’s also interesting to think about what POC could have been painted on a sculpture but is now just a white surface.
2I didn’t know cottagecore was a thing until recently and I’m still working out what ‘dark academia’ means but when I search those tags it reminds me a lot of things from growing up so here are some cottagecore/academia(? Idk) things/prompts I guess
-Getting to stay up late when there’s a powercut and sit by candlelight, feeling excited and a little bit rebellious
-Running outside to get the washing off the line when it starts to rain
-Making a den in the woods and feeling like no one will ever find you
-Skipping stones on the river (or failing to)
-Playing in the river when you’re little until your clothes are soaked through
-Walking in the woods and putting sticky grass on someone else’s clothes and waiting to see if they notice
-Pooh sticks when you get to a bridge
-Picking lavender and sewing it into little pouches as gifts or to put with your clothes
-Conker battles
-Finding slow worms under rocks and plant pots
-Looking for newts and tadpoles in ponds
-The smell of an open fire
-Creaking floorboards
-Losing things down the cracks in the floorboards
-Knowing what time it is from the church bells
-Pressing flowers
-Making daisy chains and putting them on your wrist or wearing them as a crown
