Have you loved an author so much that the thought of them immediately improves your day because their words are forever a part of your soul?

mixed feelings about Tolstoy. probably one of if not my favorite writers, and he was supremely based in a lot of ways, but in other ways he was just naive, perhaps even delusional. I think its more of a "hindsight is 20/20" thing though, and i cant really blame him much

I'm always annoyed by people when I'm out in public. For example, when I'm at the grocery store and someone stops to look at stuff with their cart blocking the left side of the aisle and then they stand in the right side of the aisle creating a blockade instead of pushing their cart off to the side a bit or standing in front of/behind their cart to leave room for others to pass through. Or people that stop and have a conversation or stand there on their phones while blocking off the shelves or cooler doors. In those situations sometimes when I'm grumpy the beginning of Moby Dick comes to my mind and gives me a little relief. The part about methodically knocking people's hats off.
