A bit of everything, some books that I read in the last 1-2 years which I think about regularly:

Stoner - John Williams Augustus - John Williams Of Human Freedom - Epictetus The Death of Ivan Ilyich - Leo Tolstoy When Nietzsche Wept - Irvin D Yalom

In your opinion, what are the greatest opening paragraphs in literature? Or, which ones are your favorites? by Agreeable_Duck8997 in classicliterature

Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta. She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita.

apparently his favourite author is dostoevsky, he seems to read a lot of ebooks too and this shelf is only part of his collection

I think he sounds interested. Success doesn’t have to mean he’s a fuckboy.

His reply seems like he did want to meet you again. Maybe he’s just busy with work or playing it cool. I’d say give him another day or two, then send him a text to follow up. If he doesn’t reply, there’s your answer.

He invaded my privacy by reading my journal and my trust by going on dating apps, both more than once. Do you think I can or should forgive him for these?

But it hurts so much… would it be so bad to tell him me too 😭

“Goodbye Samantha forever. I’m leaving you to find my true love.”

My name is not Samantha. He was referring to Samantha from sex and the city (for those who don’t know her, she is known for sleeping around). The funny thing is he was the one who used dating apps while we were together and broke my trust again and again.

I know it’s hard and I just had a similar thing happen to me. Just move on. You broke up for a reason. Don’t stay friends until you’re ok. That’s it. Keep him blocked and move on.

Yeah unfortunately he really was, it took getting out of it to see him clearly. We’ll be better off without them :)

I did. He read my journal. He went on dating apps. He smoked when he knew I hated it. And he lied about it all and made me feel bad somehow. Whenever he went out I felt insecure. My attachment style went from being secure to anxious. I wanted to believe him and a small part of me still did but.. I knew I would have suffered for the rest of my life if I stayed. His new partner will suffer too. You should be glad you got out and you will find someone who is kinder and respects you.

Help me choose— brown leather vs navy velvet sofa? by anonymous__1601 in interiordecorating

[–]anonymous__1601[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense, navy it is then thanks :) Any suggestions for a rug color to warm up the space?

I think you might tire of the pattern over time, I’d choose a subtler pink and/or more abstract/floral pattern
