"the despair of an idealism that you can't attain" aaaaaaaah, i am so dead

"I am eternally, devastatingly romantic, and I thought people would see it because 'romantic' doesn't mean sugary' It's dark and tormented - the furor of passion, the despair of an idealism that you can't attain."

- Catherine Breillat

There are stolen glances and subtle smiles, Maybe a fleeting moment, a secret serenade And for a matter of fact Just friends don’t look at each other like that

the perfect movie remake of a novel doesn't ex-

"There is, I believe, in every disposition a tendency to some particular evil, a natural defect, which not even the best education can overcome." "And your defect is a propensity to hate everybody." "And yours," he replied with a smile, "is wilfully to misunderstand them.

i'd love it if my friends rant to me about their problems cuz its just wrong that we laughed together but you cried alone

“stop traumadumping to your friends tell this to your therapist” my god they paywalled human connection

I utterly, genuinely hope that every hopeless romantic girly ever, finds a guy who would listen to all her blabbering, keeps telling her how much he misses her and how much he loves her, brings her flowers cuz he just looked at them and it reminded him of her, take her on little dates, teases her about silly stuff but tells her every morning she is the best thing that ever happened to him

That awkward moment when you want to romanticize ur life but ur life ain't cooperating

A principle I aim to adopt is "embody what you desire." If I desire friends who host themed parties, perhaps initiating such gatherings myself is the first step. If I long for someone who expresses affection through love letters, I could cultivate that by writing heartfelt letters to those I care about. Wanting to frequent museums and charming cafes? Extend invitations to friends for these outings. Even if I don't immediately find my ideal circle, I would have evolved into the very person I aspire to be around, and perhaps, that in itself is sufficient.

Being someone else's comfort person is so underrated. Like gurl do you know the joy of knowing that your mere existence makes someone love their life a little more. They wait the whole day so they can call you and rant about everything that happened. Knowing that you just being right there is sufficient for them. The joy of being someone else's happiness<3

thank you, opportunity 

The reason why I love stories with sad endings is that it already gave us all the beautiful moments to see. It didn't just say they lived happily ever after all the shit they went through and we didn't even know how they were happy. Did he bring her favourite flowers every time they fought? Did she make his favourite coffee after a bad day at work? We don't know. Missing out on all these moments is more tragic for me than these not happening at all.

Sad endings forces us to keep reminding ourselves of all the good moments that happened. Maybe it was not all Rosie but at least we got the memories.

It makes us believe that some stories remain beautiful even if it doesn't end our way. And sometimes "All's well even if it doesn't end well ".

I don't forget people easily. In fact, I never forget people, the fun we had, the bond we shared and all that stuff is just permanently stored with me. I just get used to their absence easily.

I be saying "seh lenge thoda" but whatever I am sehing is definitely not thoda

Crying cuz there's not a single good bookstore in my city (ignore the fact that I have no person to go with either)

I wrote it in a different lifetime, there's no other explanation for the accuracy

I don't want others to help me, not because I want to be a cool independent woman(though that might be a partial reason lmao), but cuz I feel like a fkin burden and I feel so annoying

My dual personalities are giving me a hard time :⁠-⁠\

Being afraid of thunderstorms is so outdated, can’t you figure out different characteristics than that. I’m sure if you look hard enough something will come up that you can wear authenticity instead of a cliche written in pages we’ve all read before

Hiiee!

Whatever I wrote were completely my thoughts and traits. I didn't mean to use "being afraid of thunderstorms" as cliché but for the fact that I am afraid of thunderstorms and I do find rain kinda irritating.

But as a fellow reader I completely agree with your point of reading the same clichés again and again is kinda annoying. I'd try my best to avoid it in future writings. Thanks🤝🙃

*old man voice* back in my day, studyblrs would like and reblog posts and there wouldn't be any 0 note posts.

At times, I think I am my life's biggest paradox. The way I think, the way I act, the way I speak, my whole existence is like a paradox to me.

I love nature but I also don't like rain and I am afraid of thunderstorms. I love making friends but I don't want to tell them my problems. I tell my friends it's human to make mistakes but my tiniest mistakes eat me away. I am extremely ambitious and love the things I do, but then, I am extremely lazy too. I am a hopeless romantic, very hopeless, but I am afraid if I fall too hard for someone I might lose my own self. I am very confident about myself but it won't take me the slightest moment to get insecure when someone better read, better dressed shows up. I love myself, a lot. But, there are times I look in the mirror and don't like the way I am looking. I am an over-sharer(if that's even a word, but you get it) but I also have some major trust issues. I don't care about what others think but I also want to be likeable. I am really sensitive but I am also really tough. I am very happy but I also cry a lot.

Even my thoughts. At times, I'd think people don't really have bad intentions, it's just a matter of perspective but then I also judge a lot of people for the one thing they did wrong to me. I'd think honesty is just so very important but I also think a truth that might hurt someone shouldn't be said unless necessary.

There's so much of these things that this list could go on forever. But, then I think our lives are a little too long to hold on to just one personality, just one perspective, just one ideology. Wouldn't it be too boring to live such a predictable life?

INDIA IS ON THE MOON!!!!!!!!

[Wednesday, 23 August 2023]

Today India made its first soft landing on the moon's south pole.

I was watching the landing live on YouTube like millions of other Indians and maybe non-indians too. The last minute of landing was more nerve racking than anything, considering it was India's 3rd attempt in doing so. But finally we did it thanks to the hardwork and dedication of all the scientists at ISRO and many others who helped behind the scenes. Dr. Homi Bhabha, Dr. Sarabhai, Dr. Kalam and many others who had this far fetched vision of Indian space research would be so proud right now, seeing how it is all coming together like clockwork.

India is the 4th country to achieve a soft landing on the moon after the USA, Russia and China and the first one to do so on the moon's south pole. Just like its name a soft landing refers to landing the craft gently on the moon's surface with a speed of about 2 meters per second, which is actually not an easy feat because of the moon's rough terrain. The terrain is still a lot better near the lunar equator, where the aforementioned countries achieved soft landing unlike India which did so at the south pole having hell-like terrains with all the bumps and craters, little to no sunlight, and temperatures going as down as -215°C. One of the main reasons India was eager to reach the south pole is the lack of information about it and the possibility of millions of years old ice present there. The chandrayan 2 craft present there has also detected some hydroxyl(OH) there. Hope this endeavour makes a "giant leap for mankind"!

And genuinely hoping to be a part of such a project in the coming years! Please do remember me in your prayers.
