Having a cat in winter time is very very dangerous they don’t warn you.

“It’s cold.” I knew that part. I’ve been through 27 “it’s cold”s in my life. “It’s cold AND there’s a soft little cat asleep on my bed with me”? Dangerous. Absolutely dangerous. You will never ever get up again.

What's a line from Shakespeare that makes you go "oohohoooohooo?" (Interpret this emotion any way you wish.) Mine is when Macbeth says "Full of scorpions is my mind" because same.

i love my desk man.

hey to all my friends

who faded away

without letting me know

because

i am glad i did not have to bear with the pain of letting you go

i was observing but hey wait a sec now i think that it was abrupt but

i am back to my safe place and i feel like it was so soft and so slow that you left with no memories

to the one who was my first friend - i am sorry for blaming you for leaving me but i left you too

to the ones who were my next - thank you for not leaving me in a shock but i am sad for sure.

yes. my love is changed. you do not hold the same position in my heart like you used to and i am not sorry for that. sorry for nothing. but i still love you. i dont mean it but its coming from my heart so i guess its true.

(also look up the original post from time to time for more plays)

it all starts to kick in when im sad for nothing.

i read this on pinterest in a post and it said whenever we are randomly sad its because there are souls which left earth and no one mourned over it or about it and so when we feel sad we are mourning for them which makes absolute sense to me.

ROMATCIZING SADNESS. (not really)

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.

today mummy said "dont be afraid of anything" and fuck anything and anything at all. i aint going back now.

also today mummy attended an award show and she came back with an award (ofc) and a something idk word for it but we put it from one side of the shoulder and let it fall to the other side below our hands something and as soon as she came back she asked me to close my eyes and she was making me wear that and handed me her award. i am in love with her. whatever she has been through i am gonna change her future for sure. she deserves happiness. love of my life is my mom.

It's my 2 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

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.

"mom"

"its a hmm sound with an alphabet with lips open in between" - charles bennetto 'chick' from one more day by mitch albom.

i adore my mother so much. maybe you all do too but its about me today. she was in a meeting, i was in that meeting too so she had her cam off and she was telling the rules for an event taking place on 13th aug to which i was paying so much attention that made me write this post.

i m listening to her as she is mentioning all the rules and there is something in her voice which gives me goosebumps. which just makes me realize that i love her so much. she has got that power, that spark which takes you on a long journey and helps you reach wherever you want to be.

this can be a manifestation - she will definitely reach greater heights.

cheers to her current success and all the best to her for the upcoming stuff. she is the strongest woman i know.

(there is no way this post will be viewed by my mother and thats the best part because guess what - i cant show my love like this. i always tell my mother this when she asks me to give her a hug and deny it... i say that mom this isnt my love language. i cant tell you i love you by saying it or by hugging you instead i show my love for you through my actions and i think that only she has observed my that form of love. nobody else ever did that. and i expect people i love to see that i love them through my actions and what i do for them, how i do for them, why i do that for them. it hurts but we dont talk about it.)

i love you so much mummy. i love you.

Five Quick Tips For Better Notes

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.

Try It Yourself: 30-Minute Challenge

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?

Someday you will know that respect is more important than love.
