Status Updates From رسائل إلى ميلينا

okaaay des wird glaub i eher sowas zum ab und zu reinlesen als in einem komplett durchlesen
aber bis jetzt find is ganz gut

Holy Moly! The goat Dostoyevsky has been mentioned by Kafka. Kafka tells a story about him referring to him as "D" just like they are buds. In this first chapter you can feel Kafkas personality and I can resonate with him right know as he writes to Milena his Czech translator.

KONECNE SOM SA DOSTALA Z MOJEJ READING KRIZY cize comeback jupi

She was his pasandida aurat. Wow. He was her yapper. This is exactly what i imagine. My yapper man. My chalant man. Telling me each piece of detail abt his life. And I'd just look at him smile ear to ear. Look at his eyes and listen to him talk all day long. It feels illegal to be reading this. Someone's personal letters but It's the hopeless love and compassion. So beautiful. So many words, so slow and so in move

Kafka after day 1 of no contact:
"Giants have their weaknesses as well; I believe even Hercules fainted once."

Trying to read in the car… not happening

“You are standing fast by a tree, young, beautiful, your eyes are subduing the sorrows of the world with their brightness... I can't listen both to the terrible inner voices and to you simultaneously, but I can listen to what the voices are saying and confide this in you, trusting you like no other person in the world.”

This is the yearning playbook & I’m studying game

" این نامه‌ها دارند ما را به جنون می‌کشند. "

“Just as there is no place in the deep sea which isn’t under the greatest pressure, so it is with you—but all other life is a disgrace and makes me sick. I used to think I couldn’t stand living, couldn’t stand people, and I was very ashamed of myself; but now you are confirming that it wasn’t life which seemed unbearable to me.”

guys.

“I need all the time and a thousand times more than all the time and if possible all the time that exists, for you, to think of you, to breathe in you.” p.69

“I haven’t received any letters, my heart is a little heavy. Of course it’s impossible that a letter could be here already, but explain that to my heart.”

(now I’m even losing my name— it was getting shorter and shorter all the time and is now: Yours)

Today’s quote: «…but this fear is particularly mysterious; I do not know is inner laws, only its hand on my throat— and that really is the most terrible thing I have ever experienced or could experience.»
