I just looked again and realised I somehow missed that you have a button. I have now changed it. :]

I mention these specifically because, although it's easy to fall into overconsumption with stationery, both of these products (although they require a significant financial investment at first) are designed to get better with time and be used for life. They're designed to discourage overconsumption, even down to the fact that wear and tear (the patina) is seen as a feature, not a defect.

I will definitely check that chapter out! Thank you so much for the recommendation and thanks as well for checking my little blog! Even though I abandoned Christianity as a belief system, I still cherish its intellectual dimension, so I’m definitely interested in what Christians have to say. Also, I love the Romantics. Thanks for stopping by!

My love for scholasticism and the philosophy of religion is the main reason behind why I decided to study theology at an undergraduate level. There's definitely a lot of valuable perspectives to think about (and read) both from secular and religious authors. Whilst I don't agree with certain key Romantic ideas because of my faith, I think there are a lot of things Christians could learn from them, too.

It is refreshing meeting people who are able to learn from different schools of thought even though they disagree with some aspects of them. Sadly, I don’t encounter that way of approaching knowledge that often. I find awesome the fact that you are studying Theology, it must be really interesting! I recently watched a video about the theology of St. Gregory of Nyssa.

Thanks for keeping an eye on my blog! I’ll keep an eye on yours as well, it’s really interesting! I have enjoyed the two posts on minimalism, since I also struggle with mental fatigue fairly often.

I actually wrote a review for Shimeji on another old website of mine, but I never ended up transferring it to literaturegirl. I might summarise it and move it over someday, as it was very long. If I recall correctly, the angle was about finding beauty in the mundane.

I've been very busy with my degree and with travelling lately, but I'm planning on reading and writing a lot more during the summer whilst I have the time. If you have any similar manga recommendations for then, I'd love to receive them. :]

It's always nice to meet others who enjoy his work! The Screwtape Letters is a brilliant read; I see it's what you read last. Thank you for adding my button, and for your comment; it's nice to read. I'll be keeping an eye on your site, too. :]

I'll find it and get back to you as soon as I can! I've been travelling a lot recently and I've had a lot of assignments and health problems, so it's likely it got buried amongst all of that somehow.

I thought I was the only person in the whole world who analyzed their speech patterns! Just kidding, but it's comforting to hear someone else struggles with it too. What frustrates me is not being able to communicate my ideas in a concise and clear manner, do you have any recommendations for this?

I also have another question to ask, which (forgive me) is of a more personal subject, but why use sites like gelbooru and 4chan when there's a risk of nsfw content? As I understand you can filter it out on gelbooru, but how do you address this problem on 4chan and everywhere else on the web?

I think the best way to learn to communicate in a way that feels coherent to you is to spend a lot of time writing long-form letters to friends, assimilating parts of writing styles you enjoy in literature you read, and avoiding 'clutter' in your writing: unnecessarily obscure words, overly long sentences, badly structured lists. I think my sentences are too long very often, so I'm not great at most of this.

I filter Gelbooru, and on 4chan I don't have many issues with this whilst browsing the boards I do occasionally check, such as /out/ or /g/. If there is anything NSFW, my brain has gotten good at simply filtering it out or not looking at it by now.
I liked your Life of Pi review a lot too! Your Wuthering Heights review has also inspired me to finally give the book a chance, haha. I really enjoy your review page layout, and your art is lovely. I was actually showing your site to a friend today and they said the same thing about your art - the piece on your home page is especially nice. :]
Thank you that is super sweet! I haven't had a lot of time for drawing lately, so I hope to get back into the flow soon. Wuthering Heights is my number one favourite book. Don't let the language and confusing start scare you off, it's really amazing..
