We don’t appreciate the clouds enough,without them how would we ever realise the sun’s beauty?
I wake up at 6am, take my two buses at 7, get to look at the beautiful sunrise with headphones in my ears. I enjoy looking out the window, seeing the busy students and workers striding fast to their destinations. Suddenly, everything seems so lovely. Then i arrive at uni to take my morning classes. Different people are becoming friends.. each individual special in his own way; the way they do their hair, or the lipstick they have on.. even the way they do their hijab.. each one of them seem to be truly unique. I get out at 12 and take my buses again, happy to go have lunch with my mum and tell my brother about my day. Sometimes, the routine is changed slightly by buying a croissant in the morning to take it with my café au lait or reading a book in the bus.
When you're comfortable with who you are and who you're becoming, suddenly everyone seems busy with their own lives. I don't focus on the dark side anymore, i don't focus on the illusion of others mocking me. that version of me simply doesn't exist anymore. I'm now unapologetically my true authentic self.
I.. indeed did not finish it before 'intensified school work' but at least I graduated high school with excellent grades.. (slayed too much)
I'm currently reading the secret history and im at like 200pages. I need to finish this before we get into deep school work
tall women, hairy women, average looking women, nerdy women, quirky women, weird women, angry women; sensitive women, muscular women, cringe women, beautiful women who dont see it, clingy women, confident women... there's something so unique about them and they all deserve love <333
THE SERIES GOES ON :
Gregory Peck !!
It's crazy when you start talking with someone and... youre comfy wit them from the start? And they're literally you so youre never bored when talking with them and dont feel bad when youre yapping all the time. (Two yappers and over sharer lol)
I watched this beautiful 1930's movie and I recommend it sooo much ! It was beautiful.. It's called Mr. Deeds Goes To Town (maybe i'm just a little biased because Gary Cooper was such a fine man)
The Greek Class didn't destroy Richard, he brought that on himself.
He chose to be destroyed and I am sure a part of him wanted to be.
He's the type of person who wants to be different, to be admired, to be apart from normal people.
That's why he tried to get in the Greek class in the first place even when Julian rejected him ounce, he wanted to be with the elites, to be exclusive.
Richard does show remorse for his actions at times but that doesn't mean he didn't find it thrilling.
He wanted an adventure, to see a tragedy, to be part of something dramatic and exciting. He was bored in his little town, around distant parents and normal friends.
He has always felt like he was above other people and he does look down on others who don't understand or follow his ideals.
His idolization of the Greek class is the reason he got destroyed, he was blinded by the opportunity to be included and accepted by them that he didn't look back at the mistakes he made for them.
Richard's story is a cautionary tale about foregoing your sanity and ethics for a broken, one sided friendship. They used him again and again, he did everything for them. Never questioning what he was really doing.
In the end, he was never a part of their group.
He was just there.
So fucking cool i had to repost
In my first year university course there was a class I remember as being mandatory (at least for English majors) about fallacies and biases in writing. And this prof was all about reading the whole article before you formed your argument. That was his whole thing. You know measure twice cut once he was read twice respond once. He stressed this so much that on our final exam (which was two long form essay questions and a few short answer questions) that I decided to read the WHOLE exam booklet before I grabbed my pen.
Turns out that is what he wanted. The final page, the final question, informed the student that if they wrote 1. Their name, 2. Their student number 3. Their favourite fallacy, and wait for 30 minutes so they don't arouse suspicion, you will literally be given 100 percent for the exam WORTH 40 PERCENT OF YOUR GRADE.
I think about it to this day. The prof literally saw the "reading comprehension on this site is piss poor" and said I can fix them
I love both the sketch and the colored version but i have to admit the coloured one is my favorite <33
I finished reading "The secret history" by Donna Tartt the other day and the characters are not going to let me go. The book is kinda mesmerizing, I loved the language immediately (and read the whole 600-page book in one week). The characters are perfect in the way they're written. At first I agreed with Richard's view on the group. They were all so mysterious, ideal, that I couldn't even imagine how complicated and awful their lives in fact were (Charles was my favourite character until THE LAST CHAPTER, Charles, wtf are you doing?!)
So here are my sketch of Henry with symbolism attempt
Also colourful version for flower language, 'cause colours are important. But I don't like how the final work looks like (
Yellow lily - friendship
Lycoris - in Japan is believed to foreshadow death and grief
Purple calla - symbolizes sorrow and grief
