An Appreciation Post For All The Coffees & Teas I’ve Lovingly Consumed This Year. There Is Something

18.04.2025 // 7/30: Continued my collective memory course and oh boy, it's drifting into psychology. Only did about two hours today but my brain is fried right now and desperatly needs rest so I'm looking forward to the weekend.

Slowly crawling back here to post to talk about books, because ngl, I missed it. At the moment, weirdly enough I only have one book on my currently reading and it still is Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales. This is the third and final book in this series, and despite me being a little over 100 pages into it I am not vibing with it. I loved the previous two books, and flew through them, but I am so stuck with this one. I don't even feel like picking it up. It is partially due to my mental health and energy levels at the moment, but also I feel like it's also this book's fault too. It's been very slow so far and I don't really see where it's going? Not much has happened so far, which also makes me wonder why this book exists in the first place. Maybe this could have been a very good duology? I feel like it's dragging a lot, idk. If someone has read the whole series and can give me some spoiler free opinions that would be lovely. I am really hoping that the plot will start doing something for me, because I want to read so bad, but at the same time this book is not keeping me interested to have a good reading session.

filling my cup this weekend

24.05.2021 // i love visiting my parents because my mom always makes some wonderful cakes. eating, drinking coffee and reading are the most important things in this family. this explains why i read so many books at home. i usually finish a book every two days which is really good for me. and this is the only reason why i still can keep up with my storygraph reading challenge.

Discovered a new favorite cafe today; it was quiet and super nice for concentration! >_<📝💡

to be seen without performing. to be heard without screaming. to be missed without disappearing. to be enough without proving it. to be held without falling apart. to be understood without explaining. to be wanted without conditions. to be. to be.

Had a chill day with my sister to make up for this hellish week.

Didn't manage to study MOM or complete the CompSec notes, the report I submitted for PosGeo was an absolute -100, and I have to go to uni on Sunday to try and get something done for the MOM project. So yay ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

I'm alive though, and yesterday I tried on dresses I never would have tried on before, I ate a bagel at a trendy place, and I had some greek yoghurt with granola at this posh brunch place. Browsed some legos and books, and bought my sister her presents for her birthday. So idk, maybe it's not all about uni and getting good grades or living up to a certain arbitrary standard. I need to be okay with failing, and I need to know life can be good regardless.
