helps you absorb more and makes you look smarter. plus when you lend your books it’s a fun added bonus for the people reading, if you’re lucky sometimes they’ll write annotations back. its like passing notes in fifth grade but about literature and not that tristan threw up at recess.

I personally hate annotating or marking my books at all, even in high school when I was forced to highlight books in english class it felt sacrilegious. It was printed with the exact correct number of words, I do not need to add to it.
But, i do love when i get a copy of something and someone has underlined their favorite passages or scribbled some notes in the margins. Feels like taking a peek into someone’s diary.

I love to lend my friends books and reread the bits they highlighted and underlined again when they return them to me.
It’s like having a conversation with them and you learn so much about how they feel and see the world. I do this with my best friend and it makes me feel so close to her.

if you think you’re the smartest person in your friend group you’re weird and annoying. the best friendships come out of mutual awe and respectability. be friends with people who make you want to know more things.

i will never be in a situationship in the same way i will never be in the land of oz--it's just not real. i think using the word doesn't let you self-reflect in a way that is truly helpful. i was telling my friend about the awkwardness of seeing an exhook up in a relationship bc i thought we had mutual feelings and she said "oh your exsituationship" and i thought (for the first time) no, we had clear boundaries i just got my hopes up. my point is that instead of using situationship as a catch-all for not quite dating or wtv failed prospect, take it as a moment to reflect on what exactly went wrong. idk if this is profound or not

i’m averaging 14,000 steps a day for the past year, why? i walk everywhere. at one point i was averaging 16,000 (this is my flex). you get to explore a city and now when people ask me for directions i can actually tell them bc i’ve gotten really good at knowing where i am. if it takes less than an hour for me to walk from a to b, i will walk. if i have enough time i’ll walk 2+ hours just to see someone. just put on a good playlist/pod and go go go!!
