By Anaïs Nin. Nin is wonderful. Like a modern, more frenetic version of Madame Bovary. Wonderful
“You haven't loved yet…You've only been trying to love; beginning to love. Trust alone is not love, illusion is not love, desire alone is not love. All these were paths leading you out of yourself, it is true, and so you thought they led to another, but you never reached the other. You were only on the way.”

a book called Lovebug by Daisy Lafarge. Razor-sharp writing where she explores metaphors of love against microbiology, mysticism, and psychoanalysis. The whole thing feels really warm but also thought provoking. Like dolly alderton for existential ppl

(Nagashima, Yurie. Not Six. Tokyo: Switch Publishing, 2004.)
I love Nagashima's work, particularly her self-portraits. This book is about her short-lived marriage. It is a beautiful, intense, loving, horny book. It's so good! Also, please note the amazing cover.

Found this sick new website where I can post photos and look at my friends photos and it definitely won’t lead to a sharp increase in depression and anxiety for a large population of people. give it a try, search “instagram” in the App Store
