Side effects of excelling in secondary school
I don’t remember which attempt at encouragement
Or which intelligence based complement
Linked my worth to academic achievement
But I know that in my second year of university
I skip class when I don’t feel prepared to answer questions
And refuse to study because failing when trying
Is much worse than failing because you didn’t try at all
And I know that in my second year of university
I cried more about a 9 than a 3
Because it means I don’t get to try again
And that I’m stuck with any sign of not knowing

It's okay to not be hyper-critical of every piece of media
I love to microanalyze fandoms and media that I engage with. I think that it's an important skill to practice before investing loads of personal time, emotional energy or financial support into a fandom or a piece of media
But sometimes I have to remind myself that I don't have to look for something to critique in everything I consume
It's okay to like something just bc of vibes, aesthetic, nostalgia, sentimental reasons, entertainment, etc
And if you're interested in a fandom just for fun and don't want to engage in the critical analysis you see online about it that's fine (to an extent of course)
If seeing something you feel very strongly about be broken-down to analyze online, you don't have to engage with that content. You don't have to respond or defend your opinion. You don't have to doom scroll through an anti- tag. You can just let others critique it on their corner of the internet while you lovingly engage with your side
It's okay to just like something to like it

trucking along through 5-1. i think it's interesting that shinobu (i think her name in the english localization is juniper) is romanized as sinobu in the photo used as evidence. not a common choice, and i wish i knew why they chose sinobu over shinobu!

Happiest of birthdays to the most dearly beloved @sorrydearie !!!
I have written for the occasion, yet again ill-advisedly. For being lovely & being my friend, you get the *checks notes* angst you pitched to me. There is fluff there though, if you make it to the end. (It's like a reward.)
So it takes Andrés a month before he cracks, all because it becomes tiresome, in the end. To tell Martín a story, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it. To watch their plan turn from a near-complete masterpiece to a work still in progress, to witness their greatest discoveries become undone.

[Do you ever, when you play volleyball at PE, just can't stop moving? Like, you bounce from side to side, and do the thing birds do when they get wet, but with limbs? Asking for a friend]
