Spicy 1st century bc poetry

My flatmate said, “he turned a ring into a penis” and I knew I needed to find this book. Amores by Ovid is fascinating yet hilarious, particularly Elegy XV which is a love letter to a mistress…
“To touch her hand thou wilt the pleasure have; I now must envy what myself I gave. O! would a Proteus or a Circe change Me to thy form, that I like thee might range ! Then would I wish thee with her breasts to play, And her left hand beneath her robes to stray. Tho' straight she thought me, I will then appear”

PSYCHE & CUPID

I think that their story is overshadowed by other greek love (if you can even call some that) stories like Orpheus and Eurydice, Hades and Persephone, and Aphrodite and Adonis. I analyzed this piece for my art class in the first semester of junior year and am still working on it for a study; it's cool actually how something that takes seconds to admire can take hours to gain insight. Greek myths I think prove that there's a bit of human in everyone; forgiveness and redemption, power and betrayal, love and hate.

Falling off

Some times it feels good to fall off
It can be so over for now
We can always be so back again… What’s the big rush?

Getting your friends to bring back cigarettes for you when they go out of the country

My passport has been expired since 2020, and my friends have brought me back French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Indonesian, Austrian, Croatian, etc cigarettes for me bc I’m a pack a day smoker and they’re nice to me. Highly recommend doing this if you’re well traveled or have well traveled friends
