this is funny
Thank you for the tag sirin!! This is little Anais, she would probably be a little bit worried about me.
She likes nature, writing, animals, crafts, sewing, and making up stories :o

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
a little doodle of vita sackville-west!! :D
reblogging this one because I’ve always loved the top right pin, I really wish they’d make a reprint. I actually found a rip-off one on Etsy that would theoretically work if you just took the pin outside and weathered it down a little 😭 In terms of vintage pins, the lesbian pins really understand graphic design while the bisexual pins are suffering slightly.
