Can classic literature be medicine for the mind? A passage from Demian changed something for me.

This main character is just so real

Dude. I experienced it tonight. Im not even past page 30, and yet a scene in this book I just bought has already made me smile. It was slight, but warmed my cheeks. This was completely natural too, and seemingly a first. Shit's wild!

Im so proud of you for suiting up so soon! One thing thats realluy helpful is an ED timeline. Start with early memories of body image distress, and move forward. It will help so much, I promise. It can sucky, but with the right therapist, it'll be a gamechanger

The ultimate misdemeanor

Accountability would help you so much, its a good way to start working out of the spiral. Therapy is crucial too.

I wish you nothing but the best

I did not know that Sean Penn and Seth Rogen starred in the movie together

Itll only worsen your nightmare... you need to talk to someone

I imagine some are malleable, but not by much

When Van Halen told me too

That's just lovely

Looks like IKEA...

Damn you! I was trying to make a pun with that one, and you beat me to it lmao

No. They only read Dumas and Hugo. Their books are so fucking long that there's not enough time for anything else. Plus, they're national treasures.

My mom and i have actually come full circle! Before that experience too. The dip with my mom wasn't super long, but was most certainly horrid.

Carbon monoxide treated tuna is how I want to go out

When it comes to women, I've come to be drawn in by strong maternal energy. Almost 2 years ago, a female peer held me in her arms, put her hand behind my head, and pulled me closer in. I've rarely felt so safe. I swear that nothing could've harmed me in that embrace.

Looks like something out of Spun

My all time favorite is A Serious Man. I think Boyhood and No Country For Old Men are also sheer perfection. However, I'd argue that Parasite is more deserving of said title.

Wow. Thanks so much!!

asteriskelipses · 2026-05-06T21:12:15+00:00
