#SundayThoughts re-reading Frankenstein. I've grown to love books with diegetic narrators.

A quote I ran into: "A human being in perfection ought always to preserve a calm and peaceful mind and never to allow passion or a transitory desire to disturb his tranquility.... If the study ... has a tendency to weaken your affections and to destroy your taste for those simple pleasures in which no alloy can possibly mix, then that study is certainly unlawful, ... not befitting the human mind."

Who would've thought that Frankenstein had commentary on work-life balance 😄 increasingly relevant to me with upcoming projects and my (actual) job piling on top recently. Taking care of myself and simply doing nothing sometimes, in the words of Winnie the Pooh, has been the best way to unwind.
