Gentle Reminder You Can Rise Up From Everything. You Can Recreate Yourself. Nothing Is Permanent. You

18.04.2025 // 7/30: Continued my collective memory course and oh boy, it's drifting into psychology. Only did about two hours today but my brain is fried right now and desperatly needs rest so I'm looking forward to the weekend.

Study session 📖📑 and trip to Sweden 🇸🇪

I believe that the little things can change your life. Like when you decide to change your old orange toothbrush to a new purple toothbrush. Like when you notice that your music playlist makes you feel like ocean breeze instead of summertime sadness. Like when you notice the sunlight isn't harsh so a walk out might be good. When you comb your hair every night and brush your teeth before bed and apply your lipbalm and when you notice you are the only one who does. You know you care more for yourself than you think. That's how life changes. By noting the little things and making the slight changes. Notice how you deleted the contact instead of blocking it? How you wrote the shitty poem instead of forgetting it? How you studied for five minutes when that's all you could give? How you pray everyday now when religion used to be only a question? How about the times you decided to just sit close to your loved ones but without talking you just scrolled yt because words failed you? All these things that you did, the little changes you could afford, that feels like rain with grey skies amidst sunshine, a favorite scenery, your little life is decorated without your own knowledge. I think that's a little big thing.

spent three hours creating a class facilitation about deleuze for my post-structuralism class !

the class went really well, and my professor complimented my discussion questions and work! i love being able to show people about philosophical topics and make it relevant and more accessible !

While in Normandie my partner and I stumbled upon a salon du livre, spending an afternoon browsing through old books with a love one is so comforting 📚❤️

04.21.2025 — This was actually yesterday (last night, to be exact), but I got super tired and forgot to post. I sat down to do my homework but worked on other assignments instead, then it got too late. Today I have a quiz and the said unfinished homework to do. 잘 할 수 있어.~

Nature is so beautiful right now... I am so happy to finally be able to spend much time outside, soaking in the colours of spring!

My vacation is over and I'm a bit sad. I loved every minute of these two weeks but now back to work. Which is ok as I like what I'm doing. Still, time off is still better haha

Classes start today.

Feeling a bit apprehensive because I decided to take as many classes as possible this semester, and it's going to be tough. But as much as I love studying, and as much as I worry about the future, I really really want to get closer to the finish line.

On top of my classes, I also need to come up with a research question for my master's thesis (hence the book in the picture – hoping for some inspiration). I have a few ideas, but so far, I'm not in love with any of them.

At least the weather's nice! (although we desperately need some rain...)
