TO DEFINE IS TO LIMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

DON'T LEAVE THINGS FOR THE LAST DAY. DON'T. DO NOT. I BEG OF YOU, PLEASE PLEASE STOP PROCRASTINATING SM BITCH U HAD 3 WHOLE ASS MONTHS

maybe the purpose of life is to fill it with as many positive things as you can. regardless of how bad life gets, don’t let it steal your personality, your hobbies, your style. after coming home from a bad day at work maybe you need to sit down and read a nice book. after studying non-stop for so long, maybe you should finish that crochet project you’ve been putting off because you’re so busy. maybe we should prioritize the things we love, the things that make us happy, and not just the things we’re forced to do to survive. in this society, a little peace from the outside world is important. don’t give up on the things that make you happy. don’t forget about yourself.

i feel like girls are constantly pressured into feeling like they have to be good at everything they do/try because otherwise they won’t be taken seriously so please if you’re reading this i want you to know you’re allowed to be absolutely horrible at something but it just makes you happy. you’re allowed to just try things for fun. you can do whatever you want babe and i won’t ever question you!!

you say you would sacrifice yourself to save your wife, you say you would kill someone to defend your children, etc. you'd do any sort of grand gesture for your loved ones. but what about in the mean time?

would you mildly inconvenience yourself? would you take them time to actually bond with them? would put effort into remembering their likes and dislikes? would you re-evaluate your beliefs? would you try to see an argument from their point of view? would you keep your voice level instead of raising it to intimidate them?

would you dedicate a few seconds every day instead of pledging one massive push at a hypothetical point in your life?

tryna place the bricks on my tumblr feed like i did on tiktok all these years..nothing is hitting quite the same or even as well as my old feed here though 😔

language resources on the internet i love you. i cannot believe i can just start learning a language like that. i can lookup any word in seconds. i can find grammar explanations. there are teachers who put out whole videos for me to learn. amazing. i am so lucky.

it wild to me that there are people out there who aren't interested in history

like wdym you don't think about the fact that women would tell stories as they made butter in the same way we listen to podcasts today? wdym you don't think about that one Chinese poet who wrote about how much he loved his cats hundreds of years ago? wdym you don't think about the fact that we found a gravesite of a young child surrounded by flowers from THOUSANDS of years ago? wdym you don't think about how people wrote "i was here" into the walls in Pompeii? wdym you don't think about the little egyptian boy who drew little doodles at the top of his school works more then a thousand years ago?

wdym you don't think about the fact that people, no matter the place, time, social status, are fundamentally no different from you. that they loved the same as you, enjoyed the same things you did, dreamed about a better life the same way you did. that despite how seemingly detached you are from these people, in time, place, and culture, the things you do and the thing u are, are so undeniably human that it transcends time and space

An aquarium in Japan was closed for renovations, and their resident sunfish got depressed not seeing visitors. So the staff put some uniforms with printed faces against the tank, and it immediately recovered.
