The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius
parents are so crazy because they can say the most fucked up shit to you when your brain is forming and it sets the tone for your whole adult mind set and then they forget about it the next day

You dumb motherfucker life isn't about smelling flowers or feeling radiant sunshine on your skin or making meals with your loved ones. You idiot son of a bitch. It's about apps. It's about scrolling through apps.
The greatest lesson in life is learning to say no.
When something doesn’t benefit you, say no. Don’t like doing favors? say no. If someone is giving you the bare minimum, say no. If their energy isn’t right, say no.
Your energy is sacred. Stop wasting your time appeasing irrelevance. Become an expert at saying no and conserve your energy.
Anyone else come to some wildly different conclusion on Ghibli movies with age?
Kiki's Delivery Service: Kid: Being a witch is so cool! Adult: Growing up and growing apart from the life you had before is a natural progression of life. You aren't losing the old parts of yourself, just finding new pieces that were there all along. Life is about changing, you'll never stay stagnant.
Ponyo: Kid: She's such a cute fish, you should always follow your dreams! Adult: Leaving home will not take you away from your family. Even when you're miles away and you feel like you're in different worlds your family will still be there, encouraging you. Parents are meant to let go of their kids at some point.
Howl's Moving Castle: Kid: Sophie's a big sister like me! I want to a princess in a magic castle. Adult (I've also read the book): Sometimes you don't find your place in this world, you make one. The people that come along with you will see you through every ugly part of yourself and you would do the same for them. Chase after that shooting star.
Spirited Away: Kid: What just happened... Adult: SHIT HAPPENS! And it sucks, life sucks but you keep going. You can cry along the way. You are being so fucking brave for even going on this hellish journey we call life. It's okay. You're okay.
1/6 days before hoa quiz!
my study technique while studying history is basically like telling a story, from the beginning to the present time. since everything is history is connected to each other, its rlly easier that way.
anw, i badly need a copy of textbook of this book, but its not available online T_T, so I'll stick to bulletin points of powerpoint.
I have 3 references as I study, 1) my notebook during lecture, 2) tablet for the ppt, 3) photo from the whiteboard, its kinda lot bcos i need to make i understand everything, and i won't fail! (100 points, 50 items).
Energy is vital as we study, thankful for my mom for the cookies and ofc water bottle! water is the key.
gl to everyone!
