a reminder for writers who need motivation <3
"in your books I cast myself into bottomless abysses, worked miracles, burned cities to the ground, preached new religions, conquered whole countries..." (anton chekhov, the bet)
that feeling at the park, when you look at a couple cuddling on the bench; at an elderly woman with a young man; at a teenager with their dog... and wonder what their life is like, what they're there for, what they have to do after this.
