Now that I've fixed up this dw, I feel obligated to use it for something rofl.

Just generally not in a good place right now. I feel so sluggish, my mind feels so clouded, and I find myself scattered, slipping back into a state of being trapped and helpless. I have to get better.

That's it for today I guess. It won't always be like this for anyone who might drop by keke.

Seventeen Syllables
Hisaye Yamamoto

A series of short stories by Yamamoto. The prose is simple and the stories are easy to relate to, because along with the unique experiences of Japanese-American citizens during the relocation camps of World War 2, she touches on basic human emotions and experiences. The quietness of her prose is often juxtaposed by her subject matter or the themes she is trying to convey.

Never Let Me Go
Kazuo Ishiguro

Another perfect example of how to convey deep emotional content in subtle, quiet ways. Humanizes the subjects despite what they are, artificially created human beings used to harvest their organs, by following them throughout their childhood and into what they have to do as adults, detailing their every nuance as they explore themselves and their relationships with each other.
