I recently finished reading Crime and Punishment and now I want to see Raskolnikov and Ivan Karamazov interact

Characters who are so compassionate that it borders on self-sacrifice. Characters who are so broken by the cruelty of the world that they make it their mission to save as many people as they can. Characters who don't know how to and don't want to be selfish. Characters who are collapsing on themselves but still devote themselves to others' wellbeing. Characters who hate themselves but have an uncanny ability to see past others' scars and mistakes.

Just... characters who are so hellbent on being kind to others that they don't notice their own self-destruction.

Is there a word for that feeling you get when you look out of the window and it's not exactly dark but not exactly day either. The bare branches of a cherry blossom tree are skeletal against the blue-grey sky and a lone bird's singing is all that pierces the silence. There's some nostalgia clinging to this sacred moment but you don't know why you have it or where you first felt it

I've been to a several temples in a lot of different states and let me tell you, the pictures are only a fragment of how awesome the actual architecture is

How lucky must be the stones which became the vessel of the stories of Gods... ferrying the tales through the river of time?

haters will see a winter enjoyer and say "why are you going outside it's cold and boring" and not even see the beauty in desolation and stillness 🙄

I find it eerie that so many memories can be stored inside an ordinary object. I had a friend with whom I'd always read an encyclopaedia with every time I went to their house. Our most favourite page had a picture of the Norse goddess Freya riding her chariot pulled by cats and we literally obsessed over that image. Just before I left for India, my friend gave me a copy of that book because she knew how much I loved that picture. I still have it and whenever I look at it, I'm reminded of the life I had with that childhood friend
