Icarus Greek Mythology - Tumblr Posts

Ciao from the void.
Void with a capital V? If I’m your void, but you’re my void (really wanting to embrace y’all as English’s second person plural)… then is reality a relative void? It is if you remember that everything is mostly nothing, a thought that is both relieving and terrifying depending on where you’re (y’all’re) at mentally (guessing probably not great as we meet here between the trenches in no man’s land).
Behold, the long-expected intro post. However, consider the following arguments:
a. Time is relative
b. Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn
Hi, my name is Kira and I’m a pretentious bastard. Sugar is my drug of choice, love starting my day off on that high and proceeding to crash harder than Icarus. Guess you’ve got to be a self-destructive sadist to believe the ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer and the rage, rage against the dying of the light mindset of academia. It’s a very Greek idea. Profanity, do I hate citations. You’ll find vaguely described sources for quotes and allusions in the tags.
To return to the point—if there ever was one among the rambling nonsense that is my scream stream of consciousness—this is my personal blog that will be filled with mostly studying, but also fun extras like Stuff in General. I’m a linguistics major taking five classes this semester: English, Spanish, French, and two linguistics classes. I’m focused on getting good grades to apply for law school in the ominously approaching future.
Days like today—when I am never enough, gotta do more, gotta be more—are why I’ve joined you in the void despite my general dislike of social media. This blog is for me more than anyone and more of a reminder than anything else.
“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson
I had a fairly productive day, but it never seems like enough. Listening to an absolute shitmix of low-fi classical alternative punk rock pop with a side of rubbish (like garbage, but tasteful). I’m within and without. Also vibing with Roses by The Band CAMINO.
Look at me go, being all melodramatic and such.
Remember My Name
Dig my nails into my hands
Hope it leaves a mark
Cry like a statue a greek would create
Shattered to pieces in the house of a god
-
Laughing like flowers made by Apollo
Blood rinsing from petals, fault of love
Icarus flying too near the sun,
the sight of the lover above
-
Dying in embrace of him who i kissed
Holding me thight so tender
A last kiss with breath shaking so dearly
Hades, you know i surrender
-
My soul leaving my body, of life just a witness
But feelings like grief and joy?
I know I'm not immortal, but let the greeks die
So we alone can coquer Troy
-
Take my hand as we run towards the gate
A strike in my chest, spear of tree
Helpless falling like a kid
A pain of losing, him my beloved, the pain of losing me
-
My eyes shut as the lit fell down
Wood burning, passion in flames
Marks on my skin, hands in fist
Please, remember my name
