"The imagination will not perform until it has been flooded by a vast torrent of reading." Petronius, 27-66 AD

Handen på hjärtat mina vänner, det finns inget vackrare än Sverige.

"Fasting in tongue is better than fasting on food." -- 𝑺𝒕. 𝑱𝒐𝒉𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒔.

Dear old people, waking up at 6am, tending to a garden, eating dinner at 5pm, reading books, and going to bed at 9:30pm feels amazing. I was wrong. You were right.

Caffeinated. In my lane. Working hard. Resting well. Reading beautiful books. Always thankful. Blessed beyond measure. The visions of my future appear in the present. Life is beautiful.

You’re sad because you’re not in the forest

reading medieval literature… i love my life so much.

You are an Anglo-Saxon. Act like it.

Some people's lives can be summarized as: - Wakes up with an agitated nervous system - Keeps getting triggered throughout the day and swings between 1) getting even more anxious and 2) turning to coping mechanisms, like scrolling, video games, porn, food, naps

Advice on fasting from St. Basil the Great: "Make the stomach small, the tongue silent, keep the mind clear, the heart pure, gentle and humble. Here is the fast!"

Think not of the books you’ve bought as a “to be read” pile. Instead, think of your bookcase as a wine cellar. You collect books to be read at the right time, the right place, and the right mood. — Luc van Donkersgoed

"Let us begin the Fast with joy. Let us give ourselves to spiritual efforts. Let us cleanse our souls. Let us cleanse our flesh. Let us fast from passions as we fast from foods, taking pleasure in the good works of the Spirit & accomplishing them in love." - St John Chrysostom

How life feels after successfully digging yourself out the hole nobody knew you were in

No cortisol found

reading for 3 hours a day completely rearranges your nervous system. you stop feeling the urge to scroll. your thinking becomes slower, calmer, and deeper. i experienced this today.

I want a slow life. A life filled with meaning. No rush. No anxiety. No overthinking about the future. Just quiet calm. Doing my thing. Quiet morning coffee watching the sunrise. Going for long walks in nature. Cooking healthy meals listening to some lo-fi. Reading thick books

24 Februari Stillhet, frid och ett hjärta fullt av kärlek. Vänd dig bort ifrån det som är ont, och gör vad gott är, sök friden och trakta därefter. /psalm 34:13
