Oh captain, my captain...
This is a poem by Dakota Warren.
I OBSESS OVER, THE ABSURD AND CONVINCE MYSELF
I CAN HAVE EVERYTHING
IF I SO MUCH AS ASK
I AM AN ANGEL WHO LIES TO GOD
SPENDS HER DAYS ON THE BORDER OF HELL
SEDUCING THE DEMONS WITH PIANO FINGERS
AND BIG WET BROWN EYES
I DO NOT EXPECT FORGIVENES
AND I WILL NEVER ASK FOR UNDERTANDING
BUT WHEN THE DAYS GET WARMER, I WANDER...
HOW IT FEELS TO BE CLEAN
I AM THE SPAWN OF INFIDELITY, THE PRETTY BLONDE KIND
THE KIND THAT MAKES HEADLINES FOR BEING NEW
I AM FUCK EYES AND TOOTHY GRINS
AND THE ONE WHO PIROUETTES ON YOUR GRAVE
I AM A LOVESICK WET DREAM
A SAVIOURS´S HOPELESS THING
I AM CALLOUS
AND I AM PROLIFIC
I AM BIRTH AND I AM DEATH
I AM ENTROPY
I AM NEW.
I AM NEW.
I AM... NEW.
My Favorite Cult.

chaotic academia is learning latin on duolingo
catharsis burns
a sketch lined palm
it pains, it crutches
liberty, jealous harm
her virgin match
strikes the ardour
It falls, it fails
scalding, icy balm
Words by me // Catharsis
Words by me // PEACE & WAR // Poem inspired the embroidery on the left.
Today I was lonely. So, I went to the Courtauld to see some beauty.
Be with me always - take any form - drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I can not live without my life! I can not live without my soul!
Emily Brontë
Wandering ~ Poem
Once we die
Start to decay
Rot
Where does our soul go?
Does it stay in this prison of
bones and blood
flesh
Or does it wander?
Visiting our childhood home where we used
to laugh and dance
love
Can we still go back?
Will we return to the places we knew
where we were still pure
innocent
or will we simply vanish from existence?
Can you answer me this question, love
or will I have to beg
plead
so my bones can ultimately rest?
Still - Poem
I am rot / I am foul / I am nearly gone / Still you kept me in your embrace / Satan streched out his hands / With his long fingers / To get me to him / To get me to purgatory / Still you kept me in your embrace / I bled on your bed / I bled on your carpet / Drowning us both in my blood / Still you kept me in your embrace / The little girl inside me is long gone / The girl with fair hair / The girl with a pink room / The girl with dreams / The girl you fell in love with / That girl has vanished / Still you kept me in your embrace

This is my first poem I am uploading here so please be nice..
I just finished the second week of uni. It went by really quickly, it's been good. I don't have much work yet so I've been getting back into substack lately.
I made an instagram account specifically for my writing, it's @thatswhytheycallmeanitaa, i hope you follow it. I also hope you follow my substack, you won't regret it.
I'm currently reading Antigone, for uni; it always makes me tear up. I'm writing a lot, in fact I will post an essay on substack tomorrow (hopefully).
Substack is a strange place, just as tumblr or letterboxd are, it's hard to find a community there, plus nobody I know in real life ever uses any of these apps. Most of my Substack followers and subscribers are people I know irl who decided to subscribe to do me a favor, but they never read, like or comment on my posts; it's discouraging.
For all my life I've thought the only possible job I could ever have was to be a writer or artist, now, already in university, I fear people might not want to consume my art; I fear being invisible.
Maybe this is weird, but I'm scared. I've only ever wanted to write, and to have people consume my writing.
Anyways, I'm going crazy but I still love all of you,
Xx, lots of love,
Anna
Hey angels. How was your weekend? I hope It was amazing. I didn't do much apart from homework and uni stuff. Anyway, I wrote on my substack; I did a weekly r.e.p.o.r.t, that's where you say the things you're into that week, I put some pictures of the fashion I was into, I think it turned out great. Here's the link if you guys wanna check it out.

Gratefully,
Anna.
I've been getting more views on tumblr lately, and I thought why not do a bit of self promotion? So here I am. If you follow me you know my name is Anna, I'm a literature student in uni, I'm seventeen and I dream of being a writer. A long time ago I began using substack, but due to unforeseen circumstances I had to leave it extremely unkempt. I am fixing it up now, separating my english writing from my spanish stuff, editing things, all that jazz.
I hope to write there more, and I'd like to have more people read my musings, so: if you like my posts here I believe you'll enjoy my substack posts a lot more, and it would make me unbelievably happy to have your support.
I write short stories or personal essays to process what I feel, I pour my heart out on the page for the whole world to see.
here's the link
(and on the topic of social media links, here are the rest of my socials: Insta, pinterest, letterboxd and goodreads)
Anyway, I hope you had an amazing weekend, lots of love,
Anna.
It's my third day in uni, I thought I'd give my tumblr angels a bit of an update. Things are going well, I'm extremely nervous, still, but I'm doing better, I now know more people which makes me feel a slight sense of calm, of belonging. I've got three classes today and basically no breaks in between them, which sucks but its alright.
I think I'm going to a party tomorrow, which is great since I love partying and going out (I know, I don't look like i do).
I've been obsessed with Here comes your man by the Pixies, can't stop listening. Also, listening to a lot of Nancy Sinatra. I haven't written anything substantial but I believe this experience will give me material.
My eyes twitch nervously and I sweat even though it's pretty cold. That annoys me. I went to buy some books for class yesterday, that was fun.
Nervously, and maybe a bit perversely,
Anna.
Starting uni today, I've been trying to hold my tears in since I woke up. I couldn't get much sleep because of how nervous I was, I woke up at three in the morning, and finally got up to get ready at five; It's almost seven now.
How strange this is, I feel as if my youth withered away. I miss my childhood, and especially my teenage years, which weren't too cheerful as I was a strange child, and even stranger teenage girl. I guess nostalgia is a bitch, but I just want to be fourteen again. Time goes by so quickly I'm getting whiplash.
I'm scared about meeting people, scared to not make friends, scared to be that weird teenage girl forever. I can't eat, my stomach's all closed up, and I've got a migraine. God, this is weird.
Anyway, I'll keep you posted, lots of love,
Anna.
Starting university tomorrow. Can't believe it, I'm going crazy. I had lunch with my family yesterday, they're strange people and I've never felt much of a kinship towards them, as a little girl I used to think I was an alien.
Anyway, having lunch with them only stressed me more about uni, like: will I make friends? Will people like me? Will it be too hard, will I be too lonely, will I fit in? God, I am terrified. But I can't stop time so I'll just have to deal with it.
I'm re-reading (probably for the seventh time...) Donna Tartt's The Secret History, it always makes me feel better, I get lost in the pages and feel at home.
It still hasn't hit me, the realization that I'm going to university tomorrow. I guess when it hits it'll be much more emotional than this.
Anyway, love you always,
Anna.
I will always be a 1940s introspective female author wannabe.
Hola chicas! Sé que esto es un poco diferente a lo que suelo publicar, pero acabo de subir un ensayo en Substack y me gustaría que lo leyeran. El ensayo es un trabajo que hice para clase de historia de la filosofía el año pasado, es sobre la relación entre el marxismo y el feminismo y habla de que pese a sus similitudes las dos doctrinas nunca se han unido, y de el porqué de todo eso. aquí está el link:
Espero que os guste, como siempre,
Xx,
Anna.
I am starting uni on September 16th. I am scared, as I don't know anybody (all of my friends are going to other colleges, and studying things far more useful than literary studies and classics).
A couple months back I went on a tour of the humanities faculty building and it is absolutely beautiful, it looks like it could belong in a Donna Tartt novel, or a Shirley Jackson story: creepy, kind of unsettling, old, reminiscent of gothic architecture, beautiful.
I am excited, but also extremely confused, when I was building my timetable I realized none of my classes were on Fridays, and upon further research I found out there is no class on Fridays. I am confused about that.
Anyway, as I do every year before school starts, or, As I've done for the past three years, I will be re-reading The Secret History by Donna Tartt. I have had to buy a new copy because the one I've had since 2021 is so used the pages fall off. I am currently reading The Goldfinch, also by Donna Tartt.
Have a good academic year, lots of love,
Anna.
this and a pack of cigs
Ok, I know I've been kind of quiet on here for the past few months, but what can I say, I have been on holiday. In July I spent some time with friends in Barcelona, basically just going clubbing and having brunches, and in August I left with my family on a road trip from Milan to the south of France, stopping in Monte Carlo. It was so incredibly hot I don't think I have ever sweated this much! I wrote a lot in my journals and I practically didn't read at all.
I am currently in France, in a small chateau my family owns, I am reading a lot and eating healthy. I kind of neglected my health throughout my vacation.
I am starting uni in September, I'll be a Literature Studies major. I am a little bit scared. The secret history is keeping me motivated for some strange reason.
Much love,
Anna
p.s. most of these pics are mine, except for the ones with girls in them!!
I am currently recovering from a hungover because I went out last night, I usually don't really party but I graduated highschool yesterday and went to a bar to celebrate with friends. I had so much fun!!
I am also studying for my Uni Access Exams which are in about a week (I am so anxious).
I don't have much time to read lately, but I'm currently reading The sun also rises by Ernest Hemingway and Magnolia Parks by Jessa Hastings.
Xoxo,
Anna.
It has been a while since we last spoke, what can I say, I have been busy. I finished baccalaureate (the last year of highschool) and I am getting ready to do my uni access exams (basically like SATs).
Anyways, I've recently watched challengers and I am obsessed with it. I might try to go back to tennis (I stopped playing because I sucked). I've been running and doing a lot of cardio lately, too. I feel good. I recently read a catalan book called Et vaig donar ulls i vas mirar les tenebres by Irene Solà.
I'm going back to studying now.
Oh, btw I might start a youtube soon?
Love you,
Anna.
Ok, ok, It has been a while since we last spoke but Ive been extremely busy!! Alright, let's get into the updates.
Christmas was amazing, i love seeing family and friends, new years was great because I spent it with my best friend.
After that school started again so I had to study an insane amount of time. I have been reading a lot (if u follow my goodreads u will know) but nothing really stood out to me.
I have been watching movies a lot lately too, I'm rewatching the fast and furious series (😭😭) and I watched the society of the snow which was such a good (and sad) film.
I've gone out with friends and I recently bought a miniskirt which I lovee.
That's all, I love u
Xx, Anna.
Happy holidays, hope your christmas was amazing!
I am just delighted because I got to see family and friends.
I also am happy because I got a new Didion book, and I am devouring it.
I haven't gone skiing yet and I oh so miss it, but there's barely any snow around here, so I'll have to wait or travel.
I'm going to spend a couple days at my house in the south of france and I haven't even started packing my bags yet, I guess I'll do it last minute.
Like always, lots of love, happy holidays,
Anna 🫶🏻
Currently working on turning in my last assignments before winter break. I've only got nine days left of school and I'm really looking forward to the holidays, seeing family, waking up late, and getting presents. I'm currently reading three books at a time, but the one I'm into the most is Eve's Hollywood by Eve Babitz.
I canceled my gym subscription because the gym I was going to was really old and barely any of the machines worked, also you had to pay a supplement to take pilates and that was my last straw. Im really into long walks and hikes now, even though with school it's impossible to have enough time for it.
Now that it's colder I'm into dressing more elegant and with a vintage touch, I'm really trying to explore my personal style.
I have nothing else to share, love you so much,
Anna. 🫶🏻🫶🏻
I am done with final exams, thankfully.
I went book shopping yesterday, and also got some makeup to celebrate finishing the toughest week in this academic year so far.
I'm going to take a nap, love you.
Anna 🫶🏻
It's exam season again... let's get those good grades! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
I just started reading The dangers of smoking in bed, I am enthralled by the aesthetics in all of these short stories, omg.
Also love the cold weather, and I'm eating lots of tangerines and drinking lots of tea and listening to lots of music.
Might rewatch gilmore girls or little women...
Xx, Love u, Anna 🫶🏻
