very random journaling/diary keeping advice, but since i’ve never had consistency with what i post, here’s some stuff that’s helped me keep a semi-constant journal since 6th grade:

if you’re feeling too tired for sentences, bullet points (like this!) are fun

take note not just what you’ve been doing, but what you’ve been thinking about that day

if you want to, you can revisit past events even if it has nothing to do with the day (just make sure to mark down the approximate date of that past day for lack of future confusion)

write down lists of books/movies/tv shows or music you’ve read/seen/heard and your opinion about them

mix-up your standard format with colorful or unusual pencils/pens, adding in doodles/stickers/cutouts of stuff, writing vertically

every few months, word-vomit about anything that feels significant/important at that time of your life and don’t worry about consistency

occasionally write in 2nd person to yourself

cut up a paper bag and tape together a DIY cover for the book. the shittier it looks the more spirit it will have, and in general, i write more honestly when you don’t have to live up to how professional the journal’s cover looks

swear. it’s very therapeutic.

go back and annotate stuff you’ve written ages ago as if your present self has traveled back in time to meet your past self and challenge/comfort them

Understand that your body needs to be rested, comfortable, nourished and cared for before you can do anything. You may want to be productive all the time, but your body cannot handle it. Instead, ask yourself why you feel the need to be so productive even if it brings you to a burnout, even if it is in detriment of you physical, mental, and emotional health.

I made this a long time ago but for some reason never posted! It is my quick guide to protecting yourself against burnout as a person with ADHD and ASD.

Of course it is all about meeting your support needs at the end of the day, which are completely individual and may vary over time, but this could function as a guide if you have a hard time figuring out where to start! 🫶🏻 💙💙💙

Introduction

Welcome to "poems from around the world" where I aim to read and share poems from every country in the world.

My name is Mack, main blog is @salvadorbonaparte and I'm a translation student.

My plan is to regularly post poems together with its author, country of origin and in an English translation if needed.

Here is a survey you can fill out to recommend a poem from your country. People are very welcome to suggest poems in minority languages and poems that challenge the concepts of countries, nations and states.

Apart from suggestions I'll also research the poetry of different countries to provide a truly global poetry experience. Nevertheless, there will unavoidably be more poems from certain countries than others based on tumblr demographics.

welcome to the ultimate college major showdown!

oh btw one of my favorite things to do when im having writer's block is to uh. get inspiration by. trying to translate something really stupid into poetry or prose. personally i like to see if i can 1. make funny jokes to myself, 2. keep the purple prose to a minimum, and 3. not make it obvious what i'm writing about. but like, these are my rules. you don't need em. the whole point is to relax.

one of the poems i wrote about my pokemon game got published. so did a piece about thanatos & zag from hades. i was recently able to start writing again bc i watched paul blart mall cop 2 and wrote a scene about a shadow man playing piano whilist paul gets his ass kicked in by a bird. i've written about how i used to be able to eat cheese. about how i burned my popcorn. whatever.

but - this is key - set a timer. do not write more than 5-10 minutes. i say this so so lovingly: you are not trying to start another fanfiction. you're not trying to write another book. you gotta stop thinking of your words as only being important if they necessitate longevity. sure, it might be a book later. but the point of this exercise is to have fun, not to get more stressed out bc everything u write "doesn't end". don't fuckin end it. clean it up if u love it. otherwise. like. keep writing about different dumb shit. it's literally so much more fun than forcing yourself to constantly write about stuff that "matters". nothing does, so like. everything does, kids.

Small joys of life: a friend calling me urgently because she needs help fighting a Genshin boss, having long and engaging discussions thru chat with a friend about silly things, and one of my mom’s friends who made some pit-ha (dessert) and brought it to my mom because my mom once mentioned to her that I really enjoyed them.
