#qotd - What is your go-to recommendation that you always recommend to people looking for a diverse voice read?
sometimes i feel like im fked up.
but sometimes its all in my head.
i met a few people today who were a part of my daily life at some point. feels like maybe i've done smth wrong? i talk so much? i dont talk at all? i should speak more to be happy? or maybe i didnt get what they were saying.
that is a nice song btw.
Also I found this while in the forest, it made me happy
fairytales are true.
Fata Morgana
a superior mirage caused by warm air resting on patches of colder air in an atmospheric duct that acts like a refracting lens. Objects on the horizon could appear to be mirrored, distorted, or float. This form of mirage could be the reason for the Flying Dutchman Legend.

i didnt know what romanticizing sadness actually means until i watched this video by tam kaur on yt and in the last part she said "stop romanticizing your sadness.. thinking about them and making scenarios and replaying the situation over and over again" and im sitting here absolutely clueless and dumb. because i was ROMATICIZING SADNESS in april 2023. and man. holy holy.
why do we even need brain to write and tell stuff when we are sad. why cant we just copy paste our emotions right in the chat or blog whatever.
Preview the reading. Spend 1-2 minutes and skim through the material. Look at headings to see what the major concepts will be. Use these to help check your understanding by turning the heading into a question.
Jot down facts that are new to you. (terms, dates, names, etc.). By making a short note of these you are actually building yourself a custom study tool to work on memorization for the exam. If you don’t make note of them, how will you ever know what you need to memorize?
Look for cues in the text. Words like “3 steps to…”, bold words, or italicized words can indicate important information.
Make note of questions you have about concepts. Just make a note, flag it as a question, and keep moving. This keeps you from getting stuck on one thing for too long, but you also won’t forget it was fuzzy. You’ll be able to come back later and decide if it does make sense after reviewing more of the resource or if you need to dig back into the area.
Build your notes in question/answer form. Use the objectives and/or headings to give you some starting questions and work to answer them in your own words. These also convert really well on quizlet.com for easy review.
Grab your textbook, notebook, and a pen.
Do a quick 2-minute preview to get an idea of what is covered in the upcoming chapter.
Using the other tips above, take notes on the chapter.
Review your notes. Are they short? Will they help you to study for the exam a couple of weeks down the road?
maybe he did it on purpose. GOD did it on purpose.
