4.13 #EudoraWeltyβs birthday. How lovely she was born in spring when her beloved garden burst into life! Finding comfort in flowers these days & looking for stories that make me wistful for camellias and help me believe her line: βFor all serious daring starts from withinβ #MSWL

As I typed this thread I realize this sounds slightly masochistic bc who the FUCK wants to live in extremely painful emotion all the time rightBUT
Itβs also a way to process our own hurts. To have them, even briefly, outside of ourselves. To have them be tangible.
Idk how to wrap this up this is literally just me rambling and plastering my thoughts on the internet but
IDK JUST SEND ME EMOTIONAL ASS HORROR OKAY
ITβS AN AMAZING AND OFTEN UNDERUTILIZED GENRE AND I JUST WANT ALL OF IT
(#MSWL I guess??)
