Hope for the best, expect the worse.

Speak from the heart and you’ll never have to rehearse

Made it through another week

“I did my best, I have no regrets.”

Randomly I quote the npc’s from the nugget bridge in Pokémon RBY

Off to the capitol to fight for our voice

Joy and pain… are like sunshine and rain.

“What church do you belong to?”
Nigga get me tf out of this conversation 😭

My life has been in shambles all year.

Gentle reminder that not every day “has to count.”Some days are about just making it to the next one. That counts too

For I’se still goin’, honey,
I’se still climbin’,
And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.

But all the time
I’se been a-climbin’ on,
And reachin’ landin’s,
And turnin’ corners,
And sometimes goin’ in the dark
Where there ain’t been no light.
So boy, don’t you turn back.
Don’t you set down on the steps
’Cause you finds it’s kinder hard.
Don’t you fall now—

Well, son, I’ll tell you:
Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.
It’s had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor,
Bare.

But we are not them, and the standard of enslavers, colonizers, and villains will not do.

“Though we do not wholly believe it yet, the interior life is a real life, and the intangible dreams of people have a tangible effect on the world.”
-James Baldwin

I feel like I often underestimate myself… I’ll try not to do that.

At a job fair and one of my fellow applicants just said “I hope they go through with dismantling the dept. of Ed so they can get rid of all these certification tests!”

“Often, private companies are actually opposed to such efforts because it means they cannot have the monopoly on selling you the solution to the problem that the system they inhabit has caused.”

“The modern world is facing complex problems that cannot be solved with a holy grail, they require coordinated group-effort on multiple fronts.”

I honestly don’t blame innie Mark 😭 His whole existence is due to an act of selfishness, he deserves his happiness and selfishness as well. I’m just glad my girl Gemma is out! #Severence

“The work is mysterious and important” and I’m ready for the finale tonight #Severance

Even the grandest music must have
punctuation… that moment of complete silence, in which one mood fades so another may flourish. Also in our lives there must be the period of silence and assessment in which we prepare for the reward of our activity.

But most likely because she’s a mysterious Black woman who doesn’t take outie Mark’s sassy remarks lying down

I guess I’m the Asal Reghabi defense force because majority of the internet has decided to hate this character with literally 3 minutes of screen time based on assumptions

Looks like my birthday gift to myself this year is employent

Stepping away from grad school has relieved so much stress even though I’m cooked financially at the moment

Depressed but what right do I honestly have to complain when I’m sheltered, alive and breathing
