The fate of darkness
it’s always the same feeling
isolation despair sorrow helplessness
people make living out to be some thrill ride that one should never get off of
but i just want to un loosen the seatbelt and let myself fall
the ups and downs are overwhelming
why is it that everyone else gets better while i stay the same
why can’t i go one second without wanting to die
is it too much too ask? has the world given everyone but me an opportunity to truly be happy
no matter how much medicine how much therapy how much time i go through
i’m always stuck in the same 4 glass walls watching everybody else be free
no matter how much hardships others seem to be going through why do they get some reliefs of conflict while i continue on trying to act like i’m unfazed or not envious of other’s lives
is it a cruel fate to which i am to live?
would it even matter if i were anyone else since misery has taken a claim on me
changing who i am, wanting to think i’m better cannot hide the resentment and fury i feel within me
i really wish i could say fuck it and just pretend that trying to love myself is all i need to do
but no matter how much i try it seems loving myself is something that just wasn’t meant for me
the dark suspicious isolated awkward reluctant disgusting figure that seems to ruin everyone’s life
but how silly of me to think so highly of myself
im not even a thought in others minds
i cease to exist and no matter how much i think of others not a single penny of thought is given towards me
but hey at least im alive right? because being alive is what everyone wants me to be right?
yet where are those same people when i just want to say hi, have someone to actually talk to
no, no it’s only me
of course there is the more pretty social person they would rather converse with
if dying would rid me of my conscience i would do it in a heartbeat
if dying meant people would actually think about me for one, even for just a moment in time i’d close my eyes and let the darkness take me

Your chocolate brown hair that always seems to be flattened in a baseball cap, and when you take it off there it is the side part that I make fun of all the time.
Not in a I hate you way, but in a way that makes you adorable. Is it weird noticing these things about you? But I notice all types of things like this with others all the time.
The boy that rides the bus at 7:10am with me and his black Bose headphones or the girl who I briefly passed by for a few seconds and her scent of coconut perfume. I remember it all. So it isn’t new to me, but what it is, is scary. Because I care about what you think of me in return so much.
I am certain you know I exist, a familiar face, maybe not my name, which is fair because I do the same. Rather I want to get to know you, yes you are handsome, you’re just my type and yes I’ve imagined scenarios, but what I want to happen the most is to be friends. I’ve never believed in love— no scratch that, I do believe in love, but I don’t believe in it for myself.
I am young, I have been reckless and I most certainly have failed relationship after relationship.
That’s why, I don’t care about getting hurt, but I care about being so perfectly happy when it isn’t true.
I dream of a perfect man, a perfect love not in the definition of perfect itself, but rather the perfect in how he’ll buy me my favorite pants and flowers, open the door for me, stand on the outside by the street, hold hands as much as possible, lean down to hear me and whisper the most outlandish words into my ears at an inappropriate time.
Cook with me, dance the night away, always have open arms, listen to my rants and have the ops, let me cling to him physically and help me bench press and give me kisses as rewards.
That’s the perfect thing that I want, for him to be attractive to me, tall, funny, have a beautiful smile, in essence to sweep me off my feet. I want to believe you are this man, but maybe you are, just not mine. I guess I have to be fine with that, and if I never become your friend at least, I guess I really don’t believe in love.
Maybe one day I’ll be confident enough in myself to not care what the outcome is. I know life is short, I tell myself that all of the time; I hear it and I see it.

Upon a Wishing Star
I see everything for what it is worth
There upon the night sky is a flying star
One that thousands might see at the same time
It's value is to grant me a wish and I did
I wished for all that I wanted to be true
For all that I desired to become realized
But in my heart I know that no amount of wishing was going to save me
So I continue to wish and wish wondering about that shooting star
It had shone so brightly amongst the darkness
I remember it because I smiled brightly
What I didn't know was that it was also wishing while looking back at me
Wishing that all of their dreams would come true, that they would get all that they desired
As it burns through the atmosphere, I wonder if just like the star, I was heading towards my own end.
studying for the lsat (for free)
i know lsat prep courses are so expensive and i cannot pay for that so i thought i’d share what i’ve been doing
insight lsat on youtube has a playlist with a free prep course, in which they go over each section of the lsat/each type of question you’ll encounter. it’s very helpful and i recommend pausing the video and trying to answer yourself whenever the instructor recommends it!
after going through question types, he provides a list of “homework questions” — the questions add up to essentially being 2 full sections from a few different practice tests, so at the moment i’m doing the questions one recommended practice test at a time (making it 2 full sections each time i practice)
i compile answers to these practice questions in a google doc, where i correct myself and make notes on what went wrong, as well as label what types of questions i missed so i can see any patterns
i use a notion spreadsheet to track how much time per day i study, as well as scores and/or percent accuracy for my actual practice (when doing the homework questions/2 sections instead of a full test, i calculate accuracy since i do not have an actual score)
after working through the lsat insight course and doing all recommended practice, my next step will be to do full timed sections (when i do homework practice it is untimed)
then, i will take a full timed test, so that i have a new diagnostic score and i can plan out the next phase of studying. i will once again track what types of questions i’m missing so i can implement more targeted practice.
more notes:
- i get my practice tests of pdf coffee
- i check answers using manhattan prep (it’s a forum so explanations are detailed and written by real people)
i hope this was at all helpful, and if anyone has any questions or recommendations let me know! :)

Hi my langblr fellas,
I've seen this post make the rounds and I just wanted to guve a heads up: it seems like the website they link to has changed their structure/aim and I think it's mostly focused towards schools.
I've seen this post make the rounds and I just wanted to give a heads up: it seems like the website they link to has changed their structure/aim and I think it's mostly focused towards schools nowadays.
I was very sad when I clicked on the link and it didn't show what I was expecting, so I looked around a bit and found a similar site for german: it's called Deutsch Akademie and, as far as I know, it's completely free to use and practice your German grammar.
I looked around for other languages and found the following:
English: The British Council
German: Deutsch Akademie
Spanish: Todo Claro
French: Le Point du Fle
Italian: Scuola e dintorni
I know it's not a lot but it's better than nothing. If you know of a better resource website, please add it below or put it in my inbox!
i didn’t know and now i have an even greater reason or reasons i guess to make Einstein one of my role models :))
Pretty convenient that a lot of American students never learn that Einstein was a Jew who came to America and started the nuclear research after fleeing from the Nazis and having most of his research lost in the book burnings.
Or how much of his life and work was shaped by his autism, like how it was his biggest asset because it allowed him to think differently, but also his biggest hurtle because of all the abuse he received in school from teachers who labeled him as a dunce and told him he was stupid because of his disability. Which he proved wrong by discovering the theory of relativity because of his autism instead of in spite of it.
EVEN THOUGH THOSE ARE THE TWO MOST RELEVANT DETAILS OF HIS LIFE THAT EXPLAIN HOW AND WHY HE DID ALMOST EVERYTHING HE DID. But nah, Im sure diversity wasn’t relevant enough to be important in this situation.
Its almost like we have a biased school system that censors the accomplishments of marginalized groups to stop them from realizing that people like them have accomplished things.

How to improve pronunciation
Salut! How would you recommend someone to improve their pronunciation in French if they don’t have access to a class/live in the country where French is spoken? I’m trying so hard but I struggle a lot with pronunciation but it’s so so important to me to be able to pronounce words properly and speak well because I love this language so much and it’s very important to me but I’m struggling a lot
You don’t have to live somewhere in particular or go to school to get any kind of skill. Practice and hard work will always be enough. Now :
Study this post about phonetics
Study this post about pronunciation
Listen to audiobooks while reading the written version (see below)
Watch subtitled stuff (Netflix, TED talks, hacked content, TV5 Monde’s Sept jours sur la planète, Public sénat)
Speak to yourself, pretend to be a Youtuber, debate out loud (…) and record it so you can listen to it later
Some resources :
Youtube’s pronunciation channels
The website Forbo (natives pronouncing words)
The website Reverso (translation, pronunciation, context)
The website Linguo.tv (french videos + subtitles)
Phonetic transcription
