Interviews that strike a chord and contain important thoughts and truths -- in this case, about work-life balance, or rather about life -- and work sometimes being too costly, even if it's very satisfying, rewarding, and bringing opportunities and fun.

#danielle collins #tennis #bbc interview #chronic illnesses and their impact #work and it's impact on other areas of life #and the important truth about finding the balance not in the “objective” equilibrium of time and effort but in balancing the things #those less and more important #important things

Okay, I admit that I was wrong. Apparently one does not make bets when Pole is on the line. Or one should not go in against her when the third round is on the line either. (Because, in this very scenario, both options work).

#i doubted but she won in the end! #wow #the fun moment when you want to check the quote. and realize that you can just take the source off the shelf #cool. (: #lines this line that/ but after all/ that one double error/ (and the lines)/ were in 1's favour #okay now this is just dumb #any resemblance to haiku or other poems is accidental #and purely coincidental

This. This right here. This is why 𝘕𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘞𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩 makes me cry 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘯 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 I read it. This is why Sir Terry's books have always meant so much for me. Because Sam Vimes is far from the only character to, in a moment of ultimate choice, go 'what is RIGHT and GOOD is more important than anything else and I wouldn't be who I am if I didn't act on that belief'.

And because Pratchett 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘵.

𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵. 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗺. 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲. The ideals. Yes, we should fight for them. (But let's all remember Death's words: they're just stories humans tell ourselves so we can be human. They only matter so long as we 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 in them. Grind the universe down to individual atoms and there won't be an atom of justice to be found. So 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦.)

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲. The practicals. The seamstresses of the world need to make a living too and 'free love' will put them out of business, so let's find a compromise.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱-𝗯𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝗴𝗴. Because when everything's gone to hell, when the world's gone absolutely Bursar and you don't know what shape tomorrow is going to come in, if it comes at all, when the people around you can't agree on what's important and what isn't... the small things matter.

Now if you'll excuse me I have to go use my towel to wipe up my tears while I reread what may be the best Discworld book of all.

Patrząc na to, co powinnam osiągnąć w tym tygodniu, co chciałabym osiągnąć, co jestem w stanie osiągnąć i co "muszę" zrobić, nie mogę pozbyć się uczucia, że to 4 osobne (mentalne) listy.

#będąc w takim stanie nie powinnam nigdzie jechać bo wrócę wykończona i rozchoruję się bardziej (ze stanu “prawie zdrowia”) #mam dużo emocji związanych z tym wyjazdem i tym że z większością będzie mi miło się zobaczyć. ale z innymi to już wystarczy podróży #i osobistych wycieczek #ale jeśli coś jest mi w stanie poprawić humor po ostatnim czasie w pracy #to tym czymś jest wyjście na piwo z przyjaciółmi znalezionymi po drodze #that's it. that's the real treasure #dobrzy ludzie. w porządku ludzie. i dobre rzeczy których się nie spodziewałam w swoim życiu. #minusy męczą na co dzień ale w sumie może to się zgadza. w sumie. he. he. ech. #i'd very much like to write or say sth in dansk but my skills are still very limited. time to check i guess!

Not what I expected coming from John Green

I repotted the plants and I did NOT think this through

#hello there. i'm zuko #long overdue but done #małe sukcesy #strzepywanie ręcznika nad wanną w której akurat stoją świeżo przesadzone kwiatki było zdecydowanie bez sensu #ziemia. ziemia wszędzie #może da się ją zmieść z listków czy coś #tylko gdzie ja je teraz postawię #hmpf

Had a dream where mini golf was added to the Olympics. And one of the Olympic mini golf athletes lost the gold because she hit the windmill.

And she tweets with a picture of the windmill and the caption “bout to go through my Don Quixote phase” and honestly I think that’s the funniest thing my brain has ever come up with.

I will never get over how weird it feels to have tragic and emotional chapters of your life where you just also still go to work, and the grocery store, and see funny videos online all while feeling such paralyzing fear and heartache

life just goes on no matter what

#2016 #the dread was unbearable (but having support and working helped)
