I know The Secret History is the most popular Tartt novel, but this one should be hyped so much more than it is!! It's a super long read, but it genuinely changed me as a person to sit through. It really spoke to me about the meaning of art and human connection and what it means to try to be a good person, even when you are convinced you have already messed up too much or have done everything wrong. I haven't been able to be as interested in many other books since, because nothing seems to be able to affect me as deeply (So I guess it kinda cursed me LOL).

I don't care if it's a basic pick but this book is literally so powerful. Just filled to the brim with raw humanity in all the forms it can take. Cannot recommend enough. Read it as a teenager and it changed my life

What they feel. How they communicate.
You donβt need to be into plants to like this book. Itβs simply letting you in in this other universe when humans are not the main character and itβs so beautiful and rewarding. Trees socialize, grow societies and children and take care of their neighbors and friends. And itβs not even a metaphor.

I love doing collages, cuz all you really need are magazine cutouts and glue. There's a very low barrier to entry, skill-wise AND supply-wise, unlike painting. Digital collages are fun too, but I try to have less screentime by doing the paper ones. If I want to re-use pieces instead of gluing them down permanently, sometimes I'll just take a picture of the current arrangement to immortalize it, and then start over on a new composition. That way, I don't have to constantly buy new magazines to get new cutouts. This is one of my favorite ones I've done so far:

This is the only thing that keeps me sane at work. It's so slow right now. If anyone is wondering why I've posted like 9 times today.

i always get stuck choosing which stuff to watch/read/get into next when i look at my huge former watchlists & TBR's. a lot of items are things i put on there years ago and never got around to, so usually by the time i check the list again, my tastes have totally changed. i realized it was hard to get myself excited or motivated about half the stuff i put on there anymore, but i felt indebted to knocking it out anyway just because it was on the list. i'd recommend letting your current feelings/impulses take the wheel, and trust that you'll come back around to any of the other options if they're right for you later on.
