“Like Water, Too Much Pressure Can Lead To Escape.”

21.01.24 || New year, same old me with the pics from my study abroad two years ago. Where does the time go?

Term started late this year due to covid, but classes finally started last week. I’m taking three language courses and am in absolute heaven right now. I feel like I finally have the time to focus on the smallest details of Greek and Latin and can nerd out over grammar constructions with my professors. Maybe teaching a language is my true calling, since I’m at my happiest in a language class.

Also lerne ich Deutsch und lese Der Kleine Prinz. Wo sind die Deutschsprache studyblrs?

What I learned this past few days:

It’s natural to ask ourselves if this is the life we wanted. A lot of us navigate through life still searching for a place to belong no matter who we are or what we do.

We must find our why. Why we keep doing the things we are doing. What makes us stay.

We must remind ourselves that we are here. Do not let the worry, overthinking, and doubts, make us fail to see how great is the now.

So breathe. Soak it in.

The laughs, the memories, the ideas shared. The frustration, the late night voices and the sleepy morning greetings. We are here, with these people, with these memories.

No matter how lost we are, or how dim our paths could be, let these memories and experiences light our way.

So run along now. We might be lost, but this journey is as good as being found.

Sincerely,

April 🍃

"I'll walk with you" is just an excuse to spend more time with someone before they go and that's romantic as fuck

How could this freedom feels so lonely? Did I left behind my wings?

This is painful.

“Do you like me?”

“No.”

“Why? I give you my all”

“I didn’t accept it.”

small things to add to a hand written letter:

a teabag of your favourite tea

heart shaped note with cute drawings

stickers on the outside of the letter, and inside

handmade paper doll

small print or postcard

a sketch or a little painting or a poem

glitter or sequins or pearls or buttons

small candies or bubblegum

cut out magazine pictures or articles

folded paper, like origami

textile like small ribbons or clothing patches

coins or flat things found in a souvenir shop

pressed flower or leaf

Did the people became more annoying or I just became grumpier?
