been awhile, I posted something here and this is not study-related.
We're almost at the end of three straight months of genocide, 30k deaths, nearly two million displaced and starving. If you're still calling the situation "nuanced" and "complicated" I'm going to beat you to death with a shovel.
Semester break had ended, and it's the start of my final semester for Masters in Management! Always starting the day with coffee. The weather is hot and humid, hence the iced latte.
i love being a preschool teacher because yesterday i was teaching my class how life is not a race and how we can move slowly with intention. another child asked me, “what is life about, then?” and i responded “life is about having fun and being happy!” and they all giggled and agreed. the same child said “life is about riding bikes outside!” what a sweet moment

Hardwork doesn't betray. It is getting tougher but I can manage.
Czeslaw Milosz, New and Collected Poems: 1931-2001
You cannot take it all. Offer. Sacrifice does not kill, but preserve, make it holy. Until wings turn into a cross. However noble, if we do things on our own, we are the enemies of grace. Odysseus was noble. Nevertheless Dante put him in hell, precisely for that reason. Hell is based on justice. Heaven is grace. Nobody deserves it.
Ewa Chrusciel, from "is there something down by the water keeping itself from us", Strata
Semester break is a bliss 💕 but also made me quite lazy.

if you’re struggling lately, i hope this reaches you.
we will be okay. you will be okay. you will grow and evolve and heal. you will enjoy life again even if it’s not the same as it was the last time you were happy. you will live your life not feeling stuck. you will do more than survive. you will thrive.
