"A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction".
Although she has written a plethora of books, reading a room of one's own is magical. disclaimer ⚠️ it is an extended essay based on her lectures in 1930's but it open ur mind to so many things and wonderfully written!

I started with this book, it’s more of an essay than novel but really eye opening and I think it introduces her work very well

It is one of those reads that no synopsis of mine can encompass the multitudes hidden within those pages. It is a great comfort if you’re feeling lonely or particularly ‘nuts’ because no one depicts the gnarly & honest nature of internal “madness“ like Woolf. She writes from raw experience—and she’s not trying to teach you anything either. Another thing she does like no one else is demand the readers attention on the overlooked. She follows this modernist/mystic tradition that the mundane & sublime are more alike than we think, if we are truly conscious.

when everything feels lame and nothing sounds appealing its because i'm overthink the activity or i think it won't be that good. so if you do the first easy idea that comes to mind! you'll feel better and slowly get out of the slump!
examples:
eat something different and fun
take a walk? always lame but you WILL feel a 1000% better
read funny or romance no thought stuff
go thrifting not for cheap and funky trinkets!
being in a funk makes everything seem too much, so getting out of it should be kinda like stopping ur brain from being over-worked... atleast from my perspective!

ive heard some people say reading the time on a clock is lame but to me it’s so classy & like i’m back in 1890 (heart eyes 4 analog clocks)
plus the way they’re made, the thought behind making them work the beautiful architectural genius of it agh!
also this picture is from my uni building clock thing🌷
