#carpe diem!!

[dailytraingirl]

how does the human mind work in the way where yesterday i wanted to do nothing i wanted to rot in bed all day until i died of starvation

and today i want to do everything. i want to go to the beach and go on a hike and see mountains and travel and see the world and oh my god rome and london and paris and athens all the amazing places and i want to go to new zealand and see a kiwi and i want it to be summer and i want to eat some watermelon and go swimming and go to carnivals with my friends and meet people and fall in love and do cartwheels and ride bikes and split oranges or pomegranates and grow up to be a baker or a painter or a writer or a little bookstore or plant store owner or an astronaut and walk on the moon and i want to do everything and i want to consume everything the world has to offer

i simply do not understand it

the feminine urge to become fluent in every language on earth so I can read literature in poetry in their native tongues to get the full effect

Levels of understanding other slavic languages

oh we also have X and it means the same!

that looks like X but misspelled

that's just the archaic variant of X

this sounds a lot like Y from another slavic language I know which means X in mine so this almost 100% also means X

this word is completely different but I can kinda tell the meaning from the morphology

what

okay right now I'm gonna have to dissect the entirety of this language's history to figure out how the FUCK did y'all get to the point of calling X that and not something more normal

I wanted to ask for X and accidentally called someone a whore

A thing I've really grown to appreciate when writing Discworld stuff, is how the style's designed for you to mash together a random shower thought, a cool fact you know and the most obnoxious pun you could think of, and then just plop it straight into the middle of whatever actual plot you're going thru AND you also get to call it worldbuilding.

dark academia: keeps journals, systemically organized bookshelves, mostly reads classic books and pretentious literature, neat handwritting, probably uses a fountain pen, drinks coffee, tea or wine, will quote authors or movies to asssert dominance, dresses posh even on a budget.

chaotic academia: keeps commonplace books, stacks of books everywhere, either books you probably never heard of or popular YA, bad handwritting, has a chewed off pencil or a gel pen, drinks juice or energy drinks, will paraphase authors for comedic effect, too tired to dress up, but still tries.

você nunca mais vai ter essa idade, você nunca mais viverá certos momentos, você nunca mais verá algumas pessoas, você nunca mais estará naquele mesmo local com aquelas mesmas pessoas vivendo aquele mesmo momento, você nunca mais terá outra vida. viver se preocupando tanto faz a gente ter medo de viver, viver com medo de algo que pode ou não acontecer nos faz perder chances, momentos, pessoas.

viva,

viva intensamente,

essa é a sua primeira vez vivendo a vida,

e a ultima também.

the fact that the captain watched two women get married in the same fucking room he died in because he dared to harbor affection for another man. like. the fact that all the contact they got was the shared warmth of their hands and a first name. and now here, almost 80 years later, two women are kissing and dancing and loving and getting married. and living. are you listening..

dead poets society changed my life because john keating is so right. i read and write poetry because i’m a member of the human race. i do need to seize the day. words and ideas do change the world. i am filled with passion.

A number of years ago, I was sitting at the kitchen table with my parents. (I think it was lunch? lunch-ish? but I can't really remember.) Anyway, my father kept insisting that if you have hobbies, you should hustle and turn it into a blog, a podcast---something that would use that expertise, and share it with others. But my mother pushed back; she insisted that doing something is an end in itself. You can just read a book. You can think about what you read, turning it over in your head. Maybe talk about it with your local book club! But you don't need to start a LIT CHICKS podcast and read books every month and offer Blue Apron discount codes during commercial breaks, etc. etc.

You can just read the book.

I find myself thinking about that exchange a lot. I can just take a butterfly pinning class, or a foraging class, or a historical walking tour, and that's enough. The world is for doing things in, learning and meeting and seeing---you do not have to turn that into shareable content or a life's passion to give it worth.
