being in my 20s is like I understand more of my mother and less than i ever have. My childhood friends are strangers to me and there’s no one i know better. i want to drink wine. i never stopped wanting to climb trees. i know more than I’ve ever known before. I don’t know anything at all. i’m seven years old and sixteen and twenty nine and seventy. I can’t tell when i’m happy. I think the only thing that will make me happy is to be little again. i want to be really old. i go to the ocean and feel like nothing matters more than that. in my bedroom everything matters so much. I go to the grocery store every day. i know how to cook a lot of things but the only thing i know how to eat is fried eggs. I can take care of myself but i want to be taken care of. i want to go home and I don’t know where that is. i think it may be somewhere inside of me but i’m not sure
so was no one was gonna tell me that the painting saturn devouring his son was found painted directly onto the walls of the artist’s home after he died and that it may not even be depicting the greek legend, that’s just the most common interpretation??????
hello????
Not only was it painted on the wall of his house, it was painted on the wall of his dinning room.
Like imagine you go over to your boy’s house for dinner and that’s across from you while you eat. Like would you say something or just
This is the painting is question by Francisco Goya. Not only was this painting found, but a series of 13 other disturbing pieces of art called his “Black Paintings”. At this point in Goya’s life he had lost his hearing (well most of it) and had moved into a villa where he became a recluse. This was directly after the Napoleonic wars. These paintings were never meant to be found. They were never commissioned and he solely made these for himself.
This is where they think each of those paintings was placed in the house.
What in the goddamn…?

reblog to save a writer
Reblog because the titles for each category are comedy gold.
cause I have been using this often lately.
From what I have read of professional writers, they do not recommend using all these various tag verbs. The general consensus is to “Show, don’t tell”, which means to describe the action instead of inferring it in a tag. Occasional use of these verbs is okay, but excessive tags are frowned upon in professional writing circles. So use them sparingly. I used to use these things liverally, but now, having done my research, I prefer the “show, don’t tell” method to keep my writing cleaner.
i literally can’t stop thinking abt that richard siken quote where he falls to the floor crying but all he can focus on is the details of the wall in front of him
“Eventually something you love is going to be taken away. And then you will fall to the floor crying. And then, however much later, it is finally happening to you: you’re falling to the floor crying thinking, “I am falling to the floor crying,” but there’s an element of the ridiculous to it — you knew it would happen and, even worse, while you’re on the floor crying you look at the place where the wall meets the floor and you realise you didn’t paint it very well.”
when lorde said “did my best to exist just for you” and when mitski said “i don’t think i could stand to be where you don’t see me” and when fka twigs said “and didn’t i do it for you? why don’t I do it for you? why won’t you do it for me? when all i do is for you” and when taylor swift said “i made you my temple, my mural, my sky. now I’m begging for footnotes in the story of your life” and when phoebe bridgers said “whatever you want me to do, i will do” and when daughter said “you will grow all you need to grow inside my spine and then take what you need to take, what’s yours is mine” and when the crane wives said “i shine only with the light you gave me” and when
