“So I went back to my inn, and as I walked through the dark streets I pondered this and that, as one does at the end of a days work. I pondered why it was that Mrs Seton had no money to leave us; and what effect poverty has on the mind; and I thought of the queer old gentleman I had seen that morning with tufts of fur upon their shoulders; and I remembered how if one whistled one of them ran; and I thought of the organ booming in the chapel and of the shut doors of the library; and I thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out; and I thought how it is worse perhaps to be locked in; and, thinking of the safety and prosperity of the one sex and the poverty and insecurity of the other and of the effect of tradition and of the lack of tradition upon the mind of a writer, I thought at last that it was time to roll up he crumpled skin of the day, with its arguments and its impressions and its anger and its laughter, and cast it into the hedge. A thousand stars were flashing across the blue wastes of the sky. One seemed alone within an inscrutable society. All human beings were laid asleep - prone, horizontal, dumb. Nobody seemed stirring in the streets of Oxbridge. Even the door of the hotel sprung open at the touch of an invisible hand - not a boots was sitting up to light me to bed, it was so late.”
Nothing ruins a song like setting it as your alarm in the morning
Im so excited for my life. Im so expectant and happy. I havent felt like this for a while
The few friends i have are so wholesome. The people ive chosen to keep in my life are so worthwhile and i Love Them

I'm going to be in London for a few days at the end of my overseas trip in December! Don't want to do touristy shit, what are some good bookstores and cafes and places to wander around aimlessly?
I personally love the tourist side of London… you should take a few hours to walk along the Southbank and pass the Tate Modern, the London Eye, The Houses of Parliament. Then spend time walking from Primrose Hill, (maybe have greek food at Lemonia) along the river towards Little Venice which has great pubs with open fires in December and then to the Notting Hill which is my favourite place to aimlessly wander. Specifically Portobello Road, Westbourne Grove and Holland Park (The Kyoto Garden is q funky) Just walk everywhere though because people seem to think London is bigger than it is and you can see so much on foot. x
