don’t know if you’ve already shared (or if you wouldn’t like to) but i’d love to hear about your resolutions and goals for this year!
Hi so sorry for how late this is!! I have quite a few!
Ins —
Being more decisive. Trusting myself w calling the shots. Just making a decision and sticking w it.
Financial literacy
More reading. Just more.
Attacking things I’m uncomfortable with instead of shying away from them.
More silence. I don’t need to have my earphones in all the time
More time w family!!! I need to put in as much effort to connect w them as I do w my friends
Green tea every night
More pictures. I have a serious problem of just not being incentivized to take any
More scientific literature for fun!!
Piggybacking off that point—making it instinctive to apply things I study to real life situations. This is a niche one but it just helps me process stuff faster and I just think it’s a super dope learning technique
Pushing myself harder. It’s just not my preference to be mediocre.
Nourishing myself w my own affirmations. Cutting out my need for other people’s validation
Educational documentaries
Making more of an effort to connect w my Arab heritage
Being my natural self. It’s okay if I’m not bubbly all the time. Sometimes I just want to chill
Whole foods
Less phone time (I say this every year but like I want 2024 to be the year I’m truly disconnected/using my phone in a healthy way)
Body oils!
More tennis dates w friends!
10k steps a day
Sticking religiously to my hour by hour schedule
Keeping promises to myself as ardently as I keep promises to others
Being more bold w fashion!!
Hitting the gym 5 days a week
Reading more literature in Arabic and French
Learning how to cook. I cannot live off Siggi’s for the rest of my life lol
Exploring more music genres
Learning the piano!!
No longer feeling guilty for withholding information. Privacy is not a bad thing.
Getting more and more independent!!
Becoming the friend I want to be. Other people need to show up as well, but I can’t hold people up to standards I myself can’t reach.
Outs —
Centralizing luxury brands. Thinking that price equates to quality. The fact of the matter is quality equates to quality. Price is irrelevant.
Relying on snap judgment responses to situations. I need to learn to wait at least 15 minutes. I can be impulsive asf
Jumpiness. Nervous energy. I just want to be more calm and controlled in how I carry myself. I want to exude self-assuredness
Checking my phone first thing in the morning!!
Drinking less than 3 liters of water a day
Being available all the fucking time. If someone has an issue w me for being busy, maybe they’re not someone I want in my life in the first place.
Being too forgiving. Not immediately allowing someone back into my life doesn’t make me a bitch. Immediately running to fix things w someone doesn’t make me selfless. Being the bigger person in situations where I was nowhere near in the wrong doesn’t make me mature. It’s just symptomatic of a lack of boundaries.
Consuming dumb shit in the name of “keeping up w pop culture.” I don’t care about celebrity controversy #7282727. I don’t care about celebrity selfie #827226. It doesn’t elevate my life in any way. I legit just don’t care. And this goes for real life gossip w friends too
Taking too long to text back!! A day is fine, but sometimes I take longer and I think that’s a shitty trait to have. I can absolutely afford to respond to people faster.
Too much chocolate!! I’m a sweet tooth but I must preserve my skin/overall health
Motivation over discipline. I need to be attuned to discipline always.
Control freak antics. I can’t control people. It’s not my responsibility. They’ll act how they act. All I can do is control my reaction to it
Rumination/unhealthy venting. When I’m done w something, I’m done w something.
Overcompensating for other people’s shortcomings. It’s not my responsibility to coddle others. It’s okay if something is too much for me.
Having no boundaries w others. People aren’t entitled to private information. It doesn’t make me deceptive to withhold things—it just makes me selective. People need to earn private details about me.
Curating things I like. I simply like what I like. It’s not that deep.
"The FEI has apparently rowed back on its own proposal to sanction national equestrian federations with a “prevalence” of doping. If the measure had gone forward it would most likely have penalised the sport’s wealthiest benefactors; Middle Eastern endurance racing still returns more positives than any other region or any other FEI discipline.
New sanctions were suggested last year following a significant spike in positives in Saudi Arabia. But despite enquiries by HorseSport.com over the past seven weeks, the FEI has declined to confirm if new sanctions are in the draft EADCMP (anti-doping) rules for 2025, slated for debate at the FEI Sport Forum on April 29-30.
The FEI already stands accused of succumbing to “sportswashing” through allocating this week’s World Cup jumping and dressage finals to Saudi Arabia. Three leading equestrian news organisations, The Horse Magazine, Reiten St Georg and WorldofShowjumping.com announced a boycott, largely citing Saudi Arabia’s attitude to human rights.
The FEI is, however, is challenged in finding hosts for their major events which is a topic of discussion at their Sports Forum next week. As of now, the FEI has not yet received an application to host next year’s European Jumping, Eventing, or Senior Para Championships. The announcement about Saudi Arabia hosting these Finals was announced at the end of 2019 (four and half years ahead of the event) and it’s not clear whether any bidding took place. Typically, the FEI offers the chance to bid on hosting the World Cup Finals three years in advance.
Simultaneously, HorseSport.com has pressed the FEI on the contradiction of allocating “big-ticket” championships to countries with known equine doping and cheating problems at a time when the FEI is focussed on public concern about sport horse welfare and the Social Licence to Operate (SLO).
Since 2019, FEI endurance racing has been heavily promoted at Al Ula in Saudi Arabia. It has staged the world’s richest annual race ever since the Al Wathba venue in UAE pulled the Presidents Cup from the FEI calendar in reaction to the stricter FEI endurance rules effective from 2020.
There have always been multiple doping positives from Al Ula, involving cocktails of up to seven different drugs, highlighting the ease with which routinely doped horses progress to top level endurance sport. In 2020, the FEI disciplined three senior officials for “failing in their duty” after a large number of field-of-play violations at Al Ula were not not acted upon.
Last November Al Ula was allocated the 2026 FEI World Endurance Championships, despite having recently returned the greatest number of positives (14 Saudi owned and trained horses out of the 33 sampled) at any single show or event in equestrian anti-doping history. One rider-trainer received a record seven-and-a-half-year ban. Sampling returns from the big 2024 Al Ula fixture are notably better, but could not have been predicted last November.
Not surprisingly, the FEI seems reluctant to answer the question actually asked regarding Saudi Arabia by any media organisation."

Happy New Year and many blessings to you all!! 🎉🎉🎆🎆
This is my first post for 2024 and I couldn't wish for a better one to share ❤️
Not Annika helping him with his weak Fjerdan 🥹🫶😭
He's so excited about the fact that he gained new friends, so hopeful and thrilled with this new turn of events. But he can't help but worry about his mother's reaction once she finds out what he did to Lev.
What if she gets angry?
Or worse, what if she takes him away from here? From the place he found happiness and company after months (or years) of loneliness and melancholy.
This shows to me an extensive anxiety and fear of the prospect of losing everything (again). Losing his friends, his home and his hope. He's so desperate to grab and hold tight this new opportunity that he gets intimidated by his thoughts of his mother and her anger.
Imagine hating your fake name but then growing fond of it because it sounds so good coming from someone you like.
So let's get down some notes 📝
- He doesn't like northern food
- He doesn't like onions
So he probably doesn't like cold foods (cold soups, for example) and bitter ones either.
This is so sad. No one had ever asked him what he liked to eat best. Not even his mother😭
She probably shoved any food under his nose, said "Eat it" and that's it.
Not that I expected for them to eat luxuriously but, man, they've travelled in all those places. Passed in front of many markets. Hadn't she ever thought "Hey, what do you like most from these?"
(also both me and Aleksander having a sweet tooth like 🤝)
He wants to tell those things.
"Oh yeah, I tried that cake once. It was awesome!"
"Those candies were *chef's kiss*"
But he can't. His mother's instructions are clear. "Don't talk about our travels, what we've seen and done. Lie about your life."
So he lies and he only reveals the truth by talking to himself internally. 🥲
In a nutshell:
Eryk: "I like everything"
Eryk internally: *gives a vivid description of a cake he once ate and an accurate number of how many cherries were on top. also starts remembering those dope candies he once ate in Shu and fell in love with*
Would love to gift him ten boxes of those Shu candies but I think he would be capable of eating them all in a day and then would lie on the couch and suffer from a stomachache or something 😭
One of the best quotes in the whole Grishaverse, if you ask me.
His love for bright, vivid colors contrasts the nature of his power and it's something beautiful and telling of his character.
"Deep blue like the True Sea" = Etherealki keftas
"Red like the roofs of the Shu temples" = Corporalki keftas
"The pure, buttery color of sunlight - not really yellow or gold, what would you call it?"
Alina. It's Alina, Aleksander.
Alina was his favorite color. His light and his favorite shade of yellow.
He was destined to fall in love with her and her power never scared him. Never made him leave or turn away. Because it reminded him of his favorite color and she represented it.
(so even though he could dress himself in vibrant yellow cloaks he chose black basically for the aesthetic and image)
Eryk: "Wait. That's awesome!"
"Do you want to tell me?"
PROTECT THAT BABY AND HIS KINDNESS FROM THE CRUEL WORLD
"My father is dust. You all are."
Baghra when I find you.....🙂🔪
He has already made his decision to stick with her instead of that bully. As a child he wasn't attracted to power or strength, but to compassion and kindness.
But he still has that insecurity that his mother will take him away.
(BAGHRA LEAVE HIM ALONE FFS!!!)
Random. But somewhere down the line after this passage, Eryk thinks "I'll have to tell her. What happened with Annika. That she knows I'm an amplifier".
And that shows me that his mother doesn't allow him to keep any secrets from her.
He could say "I'm not going to tell her anything. If I do she'll drag me away again. So no."
But he sounds like he has no choice. He HAS to tell her. So she's very strict with him in that aspect too and has him say everything to her.
He wants to belong. He hopes he will. Instead of travelling here and there, without any fixed destination.
"maybe even friends" HE'S SO SCARED TO HOPE FOR THIS 😭
"And friends went on adventures. They broke rules together"
He wants this SOO much!! To taste it and see how it's like. To behave like the child he is and be mischievous and carefree. To break his mother's rules ('cause he wants that too).
Just like he said in S&B: "The problem with wanting is that it makes us weak."
He wanted to have friends and play, gave in to that desire and eventually it compromised his safety. Therefore, made him weak and vulnerable.
(gonna make an analyzation of that quote in the future actually. So many things can be drawn from it as well)
