“And so being young and dipped in folly I fell in love with melancholy.”

“and all i loved, i loved alone.”

Edgar Allan Poe

“I wish for summer to come at once, to see the long day slowly fade into the darkest night.

To dream of two lovers running in the wild, to see the blooming meadows, to feel the kiss of the sun.”

“Eyes, eyes, eyes- everywhere

Every step, every slight movement- they always stare-

Lost in the stream of my consciousness, in the doubts and sorrow that feed into my loneliness.”

I miss calling you my love and I miss the sound of your laugh. With each week the memory of your voice weakens and I can’t help but grasp for the little I have left of you in my mind and heart.

Study tips when you want to study but you can’t

You know it. You sit down at the table, spread out the textbooks around you, start reading the text and get stuck reading one paragraph over and over again because your head isn't working. What now?

- okay, first take a deep breath

- drink some water - honestly when was the last time you drank water?

- reward yourself for your work so far - how about a piece of chocolate?

- put on a playlist that helps you concentrate - any lofi playlist on youtube helps me

- try pomodoro method - try to concentrate for twenty five minutes and then take a ten minute break (it’s longer than usual, but you deserve it)

- make some tea or coffee

- light a candle

- straighten things on the table

- open the window

- if none of that helped… Get out! fresh air and movement will help clear your head

Are you back? Great! You can try again… Still not working? Doesn’t matter. Maybe you need to take a day off. You must have studied yesterday and the day before. You deserve a break and you can try again tomorrow.

Enjoy your day off!

“I am a different person to different people. Annoying to one. Talented to another. Quiet to a few. Unknown to a lot. But who am I, to me?”

— Unknown

Never beg anyone for anything, not time, not attention, not love – nothing. If it's always one-sided and it doesn't flow that's your sign to let it go.
