Dream Big And Dare To Fail

This is so important and always a great reminder!

Information is worth almost nothing if you're not in the (physical or mental) state to use it.

To answer qotd: im struggling with giving up on the "bright kid" mentality. Learning and understanding new things require time and energy and active and constant studying. I'm aware of that. But i sometimes still feel frustrated and stressed out when I don't instantly know or understand a concept.

It's been a process getting better and letting go of the way things used to be, but it now means that i am always excited to learn new things and it feels so rewarding to know stuff because i worked hard for it!

Self-love, right now, is taking up a large portion of my brain. I don’t have a ton to say about it, but I know that over the years spent on academia pulling all-nighters and placing so much emphasis on blame I’ve learned that having mercy for yourself is so important. I’ve had great mentors and teachers that have taught me that flexibility and balance is so much more important than a 4.0 GPA. So, moving forward since I last spoke to you guys all those years ago, I’ve put in a serious effort to not run myself down. And, I’m proud of being able to see the world as a place to enjoy as well as a place to progress slowly and efficiently towards my goals. I’ve been taking more time off to spend with friends, to connect with new people, to do yoga and singing and reading, all while balancing school and my career goals. It’s been a difficult task, but I’m glad I’m taking it on. Here’s a picture of me halfway through my choir session, learning Laura Jēkasbone’s “Jumalo” 🎵. Always show yourself mercy!

QOTD: what is something you often stress about, when you know you shouldn’t?

Life lately:

Studying after duty because we have exams every weekend again

Went through Something but we are moving from it now

Currently in OB rotation now! I’m still adjusting.

Emotionally, I’m getting better. I’m trying to take care of myself more.

Life has been hard lately but one step at a time, one task at a time.

two posts in a couple of days? who am i? i’ve been studying german so i wanted to make a special post for it. i wrote two short paragraphs, one about my favorite words in german and one about which languages i want to learn next. then i looked up the words in the next unit we’ll talk about tomorrow, and lastly i did the exercises in the workbook 🤓 absolutely love to be more prepared than my classmates.
