virginia woolf's 1931 new years resolutions: “to have none. not to be tied. to be free & kindly with myself. sometimes to read, sometimes not to read. to go out, yes—but stay at home in spite of being asked. as for clothes, i think to buy good ones”

love being a failed academic (won’t be pursuing a phd) there’s just something about failure that’s chic and glamorous to me
