i don’t grow out of my interests they simply become absorbed into me as i get older like tree rings
O Allaah, strengthen me in my religion.
Brown University is doing everything they can to make sure the press doesn’t cover the fact that 19 of their students are on hunger strike calling for Brown to divest from weapons manufacturers. Let’s make sure the story gets out:
The Kiss of Freedom by Rami Kanso
2024 is the year we stop “consuming” and go back to “reading/watching/listening to/playing” things
goodbye 2023
At the end of this year, I just want to reflect on the good things of 2023.
- Started a new job this year
- Got into grad school
- Went on a road trip with my best friends (DMV trip)
- Went on my first hike (also found my new favorite spot)
- Expanded my range for cafes and coffee shops (been to so many new ones this year - if not all in the region)
- Got invited to my first influencer-type event (food)
- Finally went into remission and am off medication
- Have been able to continuously exercise and maintain my weight
- Met some of my really old online friends and old high school friends
- Took my mom out to the movies 3x (she came to watch Polite Society with me because I had no one to go with + Rocky aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani + Jawan - a rareity)
i have this disease called i will open your message and get distracted and forget to reply and then the notification will be gone so i will not have replied for ages and you will think i am ignoring you but. i am not. it’s incurable
“Lol” hasn’t meant “laughing out loud” in like 15 years… it’s just a word now and more importantly it’s the perfect way to end a sentence lol
my main goal in life is genuinely just to have a good day
five year plan? have a good day. plans this weekend? have a good day. why i’m doing what i’m doing? bc i wanna have a good day. it is all about having a good day. nothing’s as precious as the present moment. neither the past nor the future. therefore i will make sure to spend it having a good day
i am once again holding back tears while mentally repeating a little is better than nothing
people are like "no one wants to work anymore" when every job application is like upload your resume and cover letter. okay now manually type out your resume and cover letter in our text boxes. okay now answer these 10 riddles. okay now take a rorschach test. okay now upload a photo of your childhood bedroom and explain the relationship between its layout and the adult you are today. okay now show us your youtube watch history. okay now define the color "red." okay now walk into a patch of poison ivy and take a selfie of you holding up a paper saying "i <3 ivy." okay now wave your hands in the air if you just don't care. that one was a trick to cull the applicants who don't care. okay now choose a loved one to sacrifice. great! thank you for submitting your application we will not be calling you
literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast… try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen… the time will stretch and you’ll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.
