— Taylor Jenkins Reid, Maybe in Another Life
“Sometimes, just sometimes, we are who we are. Even in the sea, a snake is a snake.”
- Penelope Douglas

i honestly believe human beings are not meant to live like this. we are meant to live in loving communities and be around nature every day and grow our own food and create art and not work day and night until we die. this longing for another life is not human nature, it’s a symptom of modern society.
