Artists: Francisco De Goya (1746-1828)

you're distracted again. close the tab or the app and get back to work.

Changing my degree has been a huge step in the right direction. I’m watching more films, meeting new people, and even thought the workload is a lot harder, I’m enjoying the process and excited for the results 💕

Reminder: learning isn’t supposed to make you feel bad. Sometimes the """right""" way doesn’t work and it’s alright. There is beauty to be found in chaos.

Okay, so this week has been intense, in the worst sense, and it's only Tuesday. First of all on Sunday I had to stop working because I fucked up my wrist, I'm a butcher, and cutting/hitting the piece of meat wrong can lead to a sprained or broken wrist, lucky it is just sprained, and today I had to go to class because of some important assignments I had to show my teacher and I got a major panic attack, which ended in me in my towns hospital and some medication that made me drowsy, so I didn't go to class but I got some sleep I actually needed.

Probably the rest of the week is going to be better, but right now it has been like a loony toons episode.

not to be rude but some of y'all need to look on the bright side sometimes. like, yeah sure the world is fucked and people suck and we all die whatever, sure, but like. go outside.

Yes it is, I´m not going to wake up at 4:30 a.m to be at work at 5:45 am(my house and my work are quite far away) be there like ten/twelve hours, have to be there so early because I need to discharge trucks full of gasoline and clean the gasoline tanks, clean public bathrooms, the staff bathroom, do the money counting, attend clients, and not have anybreaks because i´m the only one at the gas station, for 400 hundred euros a month, like I work only twelve hours a week, but it´s a lot of responsability going from being a butcher, well not specifically, it was the charcutery section, but only doing half of that for six hours a day, and divided in sunday, saturday and when it was a week day with festivities i would work but if i did more hours i would either get the extra hours paid or in vacation days. Like no thanks.

one thing that so many students forget is that, a win is a win. if you planned on doing english homework but instead you finished your history essay, celebrate that, don’t be upset taht you didn’t sick to your plan, at least you got SOMETHING DONE. a win is a fucking win and don’t let anyone tell you different.

Isn't it odd how much fatter a book gets when you've read it several times? As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells... and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there too.. a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower... both strange and familiar.
