Motivation - Blog Posts

So I made a poster of this post so that I could print it

The chips are the british definition of chips [french fries to those of you who are american] because a) I am british and b) american chips [crisps] aren't hot

The only type I didn't do painstakingly by hand is segoe ui light

everything is a vector on the original file so i can make posters as big as i want

to all the "cute" animals out there who might need to hear this

you are strong

you are brave

you are powerful

you are terrifying

your teeth are sharp

your claws are strong

humans fear you

others cower from you

but most importantly, you are seen and heard. You are more than just looking aesthetically nice, more than what others say about you.

I'm having "what if it all works out?" kind of motivation

My first success story about how I entered the void

This is a storytime of how I entered the void as a child and manifest from there without even knowing.

Chasing the star

When I was about 6 or 7 I was standing and looking outside my window at night, it was about 11 or 12 am.

That night, I saw something special—or so I thought. A star split into two. As a child, I believed it was something rare and magical, something only I had witnessed. But I couldn’t tell my parents; they’d know I hadn’t been asleep.

Instead, I asked my kindergarten teacher. She was kind and gentle, and she told me a story that kept my innocence intact.

Those who see a splitting star are special, it a opportunity for a good luck, when you see a splitting star that divines into two it because one side is meant for you. As a gift. What you must do is go sleep and chase it. When you catch it hold it tight so it doesn't escape and when you wake up you'll have it in your hands.

That your good luck.

And as I child I believe this, and I did chase the star through my dreams. But from excitement I couldn't always sleep so I would pretend because I wanted to trick the star, I would close my eyes and stare into the dark and imagine chasing this star. I imagine myself flying and catching and it would feel peaceful.

As I child I didn't realise I was in a void state, a state of pure consciousness. And I would come back when I was sure I had my luck and I would fall asleep.

I was disappointed when I would wake up and not see the star in my hands but I still had so much luck so as I child I was sure I did caught it and got my luck but the star escaped back to it other half. I kept seeing stars split, so I believed my luck was always nearby.

Years later when I was about 13 or 14 I was in my literature class and we were reading a old story of a boy chasing a star after seeing it split. His grandfather had told him it was a sign of good fortune. That’s when I realized my teacher hadn’t made up the story—it was a tale passed down, reimagined for me.

However the act of chasing the star is what has put me into void state as I child because I believed I could leave my body through my dreams or before bed and go into the sky and catch a star.

So this is a confirmation that it not important what you do or what your intention is even, you can always enter the void in any way you can think of.

Don't limit yourself

Stop searching for motivation and go find it yourself, go try jokingly to get into void state. Go jokingly try to shift. You'll see it real and if that is not enough motivation for you then I don't know

Shifting to Hogwarts motivation

Imagen waking up and instead of going to boring math class you are going to potion class

Imagen living in the same castle with your friends

Tha party's that are going to happen

The comfort and aesthetics of your common room

Classes being about dragons, fairy's and magic

First time using magic and feeling it in your veins

The cute uniforms

The food that you are gonna be eating every day

Interacting with paintings and elf's

Flying on a broom

The comfort of your dorm

Meeting your favourite people

Exploring the castle and realising you didn't understood how big it was because of the movies

First time trying wizard drinks, food and candy

Your first patronus charm, seeing the animal that comes out

Walking into library and being able to read books thousands of years old that don't even exist here

Meeting cool people who also attend Hogwarts who you don't know from books/movies

Imagen how pretty sunsets will look from high points of Hogwarts towers

All the owls that you can go pet anytime you want

All the secret halls and places you can discover

Sneaking out when the lights are turn off

The magical creatures you will meet

Having a pretty wand

The life you will build there and people you will meet

Finding something unique and special in Hogwarts

Mastering spells and charms

Never having bad hair day since you'll know too many spells for that

Not having to do any chores you hate anymore since you can just do it with magic

Heya!!

Today I revised some stuff (90% of the day lol) and did chapter 10.Chapter 10 is about the scenic viewpoint theorem,Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem for real and complex numbers.

Fun fact: Bolzano- Weiestrass theorem for reals makes use of the scenic view point theorem and monotonic sequence theorem but both of them are not valid in the complex numbers because complex numbers don't have order.

This chapter also discussed about Cauchy sequences (it has to satisfy a condition to be called that),some facts (and proofs!) about when it is bounded and such and finally the Cauchy convergent criteria.

I also did chapter 11.It is about the convergence of series.It initially told me what series means and some popular series ( telescoping,harmonic,geometric etc) and what do we mean when we say a series is convergent.It spoke about some nice theorems (involving series of non negative terms,comparison test,cauchy criteria,absolute convergence) and some examples based on the theorems.I did get one basic doubt and I'm sure my friend will be able to clear that out as well.He really has my back when it comes to these silly doubts ^_^

Heya

I hope today treated you well

So today I did the following stuff

Revised Linear Algebra and revised the anki cards of linear algebra that I made yesterday

Did some problems on linear algebra

The surest way to succeed is through repetition of the material and by solving past papers 📝 So make sure you do finish it 3 Days before the exam.

Peace✌️

my desk setup 💗 still have some work to do but it's getting there!

I'm done with my passion project presentation/proposal idk, but I'm too anxious to share for some reason lmao??? Maybe it's the period cramps or other stuff happening in my life rn but I probably should.... I also finished the painting I talked about, I think I already mentioned I gave my ip6+ a deepclean a few days ago and I believe I can live without WhatsApp and YouTube (f*ck you apple🙄)

I'm looking podcasts recommendations to subscribe to, I spent my day downloading more literary fiction classics and, gonna spend my night downloading my go to songs to store offline while blasting this song repeatedly:

my skin is clear but lately its been getting bumpy (no acne and stuff tho, just bumpy instead of smooth) any tips?!?!?!?! love you gorg xoxo

You came to the RIGHT person BABY 👏👏👏. This is gonna sound abit preachy but I can't praise it ENOUGH. I just know you're gorg too angel 😚x, the world just HAS to nerf us for no reason😭.

Here's How I Got Rid of My Skin Bumps in a Month (No Gatekeeping, Just the Real Routine. WITH PROOF!!!)

You're curious or in need? I got you, no fluff, no 10-step K-beauty marketing fantasy or olive young code to share, just what actually worked for my skin. I struggled with tiny, annoying texture and bumps that refused to go away until I got serious about my routine. Here's exactly what I did and why it worked.

My Routine:

Step 1: Cleanser

CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser

This cleanser is packed with salicylic acid (BHA), which gently exfoliates while cleansing. Wash your face with water first, foam a bit in your clean palms, then massage wash into your skin for 2mins. No stripping, not too much drama, as it should. Just gets in there and preps your skin to absorb what’s next.

Step 2: Skin Booster

Cosrx 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum

I used this right after cleansing to help support my skin barrier and texture. Peptides are like your skin’s support system, they help with firmness, healing and extra absorption of serums after it. I let this dry down before moving to the main event.

Step 3: The Game-Changer

Garnier SkinActive AHA+BHA+Charcoal Anti-Blemish Serum

Listen to me clearly: this serum is the star. AHA exfoliates the surface. BHA goes deeper into the pores. Charcoal detoxes. Niacinamide calms the whole thing down. I started with it every other day (about 4x a week for week one), just to test how my skin would react. No burning, no irritation, I could already feel smoothness beginning to creep in. From week two, I used it daily. By week four? The bumps were GONE, they did not BS with that in the promo.

Optional Add-In:

Cosrx Hyaluronic Acid Serum

I used this only when I felt dry. It’s great, but honestly? The Garnier serum was the heavy-lifter.

Why It Worked (The real science according to my research):

Exfoliation was key. Most textured bumps are clogged pores, dead skin, oil, debris. AHA and BHA exfoliants remove that without over-scrubbing. Although I did use a rough face towel like once a week with the cleanser 🫣.

Consistency did most of the work. This wasn’t a one-and-done miracle. I showed up for my skin and it showed out for me.

Testing slowly helped prevent reactions. I gave my skin time to adjust.

Here's my proof to show I'm NOT making shit up:

Extra Tips I Searched:

Don’t skip moisturizer. Even if you're oily. These ingredients can dry you out.

Use SPF during the day. AHAs and BHAs make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Don’t undo your progress. I used a sunscreen with vitamin C to help brighten at the same time.

Give it 4 weeks minimum. Skin cycles take time. Don't expect overnight results.

This routine isn’t about perfection. It’s about tuning in, being gentle but consistent (tbh I was impatient but I pulled thru it😮‍💨) and letting active ingredients do what they were made to do. The Garnier serum? She’s the girl she thinks she is. Budget-friendly, effective, and no BS. LIKE FOR REAL.

If you're dealing with those stubborn bumps and want a routine that works without overwhelming your life or wallet, try this puhleaseeeeee. Let your skin breathe. Let it glowwwwww!!!!

Today was very productive actually, I'm 80% complete with the project. Anddddddd I'm going back to writing too :D.

I ate the pancakes I made at midnight for breakfast, they were yum as usual :p.

Stuff I consider productive that I did today:

I cleaned my email inbox.

Unsubscribed from random sites I forgot about.

I took 3 coding lesson practices, which lasted a good chunk of my day.

Deleted books and videos that I had saved and I enjoyed but I would actually cry if anyone came across them. This is an attempt to quit that stuff.

Curated podcasts to listen to (I forgot that podcasts on Apple were free).

I downloaded classic books to replace the old ones.

Read and learned about art history instead of doomscrolling or watching the videos I want to keep away from.

Put 1.5hrs to study italian 😝

Great now I have to think of other courses to take urghhh🙄. Other than that I've made progress with my baby cherub (ehem, passion project) I'm in that stage of contemplating everything I've written 🤣ha ha...

I think something is wrong with me, coz why did I eat 2 dinners smh... See this is why you shouldn't eat dinner early, coz I made a different meal 2 hrs after the first one coz I got munchies 😒. And look, I usually stop at one, duhhh.. But my mouth felt bored today I guess, anddd I have discipline... Maybe its coz I fasted, oh well.

Thinking of making pancake batter rn, or may be even making pancakes for tomorrow so I don't wake up to make them 💔

Anyways, gn.

Today, not much happened. I babysat the whole day, helped with 2 posters for an assignment, baked thumbprint jam cookies 😻, and had my hair done in cornrows. Overall, it was a decent day, to be honest. Now I'm tucked in my blanket, all giddy and filled with warmth. I ate the last batch at the top that got scorched, don't worry 😭.

I know I just posted this, but writing that made me feel so eerily calm that I got scared for a second, I hear the constant ringing of the night and quiet, the occasional chirps of crickets or other living things I probably don't know about. No music blasting in my eardrums from trying to drown everything to feel functional, just the reassuring sound of snores coming from the room next to mine, my ringlight casting a dim warm light in my room, my blanket feels just as warm it feels silly to have my heater in the room. I feel aware, and I'm loving it.

Please, angels in the four corners of my bed, don't take this feeling away.

Passion project...

I think I outdid myself yesterday lol, but it was worth it, I just missed the sanctuary of my bed toooo much after those 2 hrs I spent eating, musing, and drawing in public. Today I tried to search 4 unis, the one I was eyeing needed A level results, and wellll..... I cant provide them, and they don't offer bridging courses to their diplomas, infact all their diplomas need A level certs lol. Idk if I can call another uni to ask some stuff tomorrow but I'll try (oops I procrastinated abit too hard-don't learn that from me)

I have been thinking of my passion project lately, and I want to make it real instead of a silly little idea in the back of my mind that I use to distract myself when pressure becomes overwhelming. I even have a pre-project idea for it. If I had half the enthusiastic audience (my angels x) I have here but on TikTok, I think I would've started already and have much support and encouragement to bridge to the actual big project :')

So yeah, I've been brainstorming and pouring my soul into it for years; it keeps beating harder as my skin thickens and my heart feels more alive.

Maybe one day I'll share my plans with you guys, and if Tumblr isn't only about the teens in this mess of life together, then maybe it will become something big and real.
