interesting historical thread on the term querida referring to native mistresses of married spaniards who come from poverty and turn to prostitution after being left behind. there are layers of ostracization in the present usage of the term.

My birthday is less than 30 days away. I'd appreciate the gift of books considering the price of physical books in this country is obscene lol www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

i finished reading a book yesterday and it felt like pure drug shot directly into my brain each page. so nourishing after months of anhedonia.

free writing, sorry i ever doubted u... my writing gates have been reopened

writing new poems instead of revising old ones. the drafts are terrible atm but writing entirely new poems feels like solving a puzzle (fun!)

the anhedonia is slowly easing up but that relief comes with a challenge: my formerly suppressed, now intensifying hyperfixation tendency that i need to redirect to more productive activities
rereading as a way to get back into reading to combat anhedonia
