Hey-o, I’m alive in some vague terms.
I texted my best friend. Funnily enough, I ended up feeling a lot worse as the conversation progressed, but it basically just wore me out, so I ended up more sleepy than panicky. Still feeling bad today, so I should probably try to avoid the conflict I started on facebook, but again, I’m not panicking anymore. So I’m okay. Ish. Thank you.

Ten Things Learned from 1 Year Deducing and 1000 Things Deduced
I think all of tumblr should read this.
“I walked offstage after dying and Hannah told me I messed it up.”
I feel like this is a euphemism for life; regardless of if you realize it or not, you will ultimately die and find out that you just fucked everything up.

Prompt idea by knowledge-above-muscle:
Write about what someone does on their last day alive. Do they waste it? Are they happy with their descisions?

Excuse you. I think every local paper’s already done that.
Sonnets are hard in Spanish. (Coming soon: English rhyming translation)
“Las cuentas de mi vida–dímelas.
¿Son largas? ¿Quién está aquí? ¿Porqué?”
Me dices que no me dirías más
Eventos del futuro hasta sé.
“¿Sé qué?” pregunto, pero dices no.
“Sabiduría miá–no diré.”
Recuerdo y se me occurió
Que tengo que buscar lo que no sé.
Por cada día de mi confusión
He viajado, esperándolo.
Y mientras cavo como un ratón,
Se ve que la verdad se murió.
Y lentamente veo mi error–
Predicho, viviría sin sabor.

Thinking I was so weak for wearing everything on my sleeve.
I thought my optimism made me weak. My hopes made me weak. My inability to get my projects off the ground made me weak. My dedication to people who may not deserve it made me weak. My emotions made me weak. My vices made me weak. My need…
I would say true strength is simply the ability to continue to feel after trauma. Having emotion and compassion for things both within and outside ourselves is a fundamental element of what makes us human. So many people nowadays are indifferent to everything: to wars, famine, blood, death. We try to hold a brave face and pretend nothing fazes us. Heck, we even watch recreations of gruesome deaths for entertainments on smooth screens, without applying the level of emotional understanding that says “this is real, and this is true. This is something that can happen.”
People who are willing to show “weakness” in compassion or reaction are the people who haven’t lost touch with their humanity. They would be the ones who still fight to feel the pain of being hurt, for the sake of being in touch with the real world at more than just face value. It’s what makes them stronger. Likewise, it’s okay to laugh at a lame joke if it makes you laugh, and it’s okay to smile at something as simple as a sunrise, because what are the little things if we can’t even appreciate them?
Totally off-topic. Carry on.
if you actually read the bible objectively, god is pretty much a complete asshole and satan offered humanity the tree of knowledge. satan FTW
The things Humanities has taught me, ftw.
