I hate these days but here I am, living 'em again; inescapable reality....
What do you do when you don't feel like a person anymore? When all you feel like is an extension to everybody else's life? I like being needed most of the times, but I absolutely hate it in moments when I stop feeling like a fucking valid person anymore, when being needed absolutely fucks up with my personal progress, be it academic, psychological, physical or emotional. When people who need my help feel entitled to it and I feel too exhausted to even defend myself on that stand, when all I want to do is cry about it.
So many posts and blogs i can reblog to talk about this incident, of this extremely immoral and unethical and inhumane misuse of power to oppress women- once again!
The thing is this isn't just ' an incident or another incident ', no, it's just another incident that MADE it to public. It's not another dose of oppression, no, it's being talked about in masses once again only because the existing oppression brought consequences again. It wasn't glaring us in the face so for some time, now another life has been taken, it's a mass movement again.
Incidents of extreme oppression don't just appear, no, people, marginalized masses suffer and then someone among the lot breaks or is murdered and everyone around the globe is shocked!
WHY ARE YOU SHOCKED? WHAT DO YOU EXPECT WHEN SUCH AUTHORITY AND POWER PREVAILS?!!!!!! WHEN SUCH SYSTEMS FOR OPPRESSING WOMEN, BLACK PEOPLE, PEOPLE BELONGING TO ANY MINORITY EXIST?!! DON'T BE SHOCKED, BE ANGRY!! IT'S NOT JUST THEIR WORLD, IT'S YOURS TOO. PLEASE SHOUT OUT, YELL, ACT, TALK, TALK TILL SOMEBODY CRIES OF THE INJUSTICE YOU SPEAK OF, TALK MORE. DO NOT BE SHOCKED, BE ANGRY. IT'S A SHIT WORLD. BE ANGRY.
I loved you, I did;
But I'm yet to see if it was my mistake and sin

The problems I face are not made for any finite state automata model, so to assume a book would solve it is hopeless. But I was born hopeless, so I like this post.
@hezalife I wanted to make a post about this because my answer was longer than what I could put in a reply comment! The comment was about this post I made about the project ideas I have saved in my notes app on my phone!
Okay to answer the question, I get a bunch of ideas from literally everywhere. Here are some of the ways I come up with ideas:
Hobbies/interests I have and think of a way to make a web app/program/web page out of it. E.g. I like playing Minecraft, Pokemon, Stardew Valley, The Sims etc so I would thing of ideas around those games and create a programming project out of it.
Get the stereotypical “beginners” project ideas and expand on that. Calculator? How do I make it better, more advanced! To-do list? Don’t like basic, add more and more features to it. Text-based RPG console game? Make it more complex. Stuff like that.
Same with the other point above but add a theme to it. Hello Kitty version (my go-to theme since I started programming…)
I follow people on GitHub and Twitter that share their projects and I think of something similar or get inspiration from them and think “Okay, how do I make myself and better?” Sometimes not even better but how would I tackle that project myself.
What would make my life a little bit easier - I made TumblrTextTint generate the code needed for formatting colours in text for me. I coded it and I use it. Don’t care if someone in the past did it already, I sat down and coded my own one. It’s all experience and a good feeling in the end~!
Since I’m all for experimenting and gaining experience with programming, I also follow some tutorials on YouTube and from that’s programming blogs online. I don’t like following the instructions exactly, I like to add my own twist!
Get stuck? Use those online generators to give you a prompt on a theme or a whole idea for a next project.
I have a blog and I like to add pages and changes to the theme a bit so I make a whole ass project out of it. “Build a navigation page”, “Build an About Me page” etc.
Things I use a lot and create a project idea from it e.g. I have a lot of Tumblr-related project ideas because I use Tumblr a lot. Find something you use and do a lot and create an idea from it to work on.
Hope this answers your question!! Sorry, it’s a long post!
THE IDIOT; ELIF BATUMAN
I recently started reading "The Idiot" by ELIF BATUMAN. And so far, it's been brilliant. The protagonist- full or intelligence and dry remarks, is absolutely a compelling presence in the back of your head as you move forward within the book!

Hi, I know I haven’t been here in ages! But I wanted to come back and tell you guys I finally picked up Annie Ernaux. I have devoured this and am now desperate to read Simple Passion immediately. I talk a bit about it in my first newsletter that I will discuss more later. In the mean time - how is everyone? Who else loves Annie Ernaux?
Will you stay?
When life says a big FUCK YOU to my face and I become the devil in disguise commiting homocide of million of smiles that may come knocking on your door!
When I become a bigger DICK than LUCIFER himself and start painting a canvas with the the poison of hatred for something I myself am unaware of?Will you still look at me like I am the world to you?Will you still say,"You are my soul broken or not.....I still am yours."?

We all say be brave, be proud, be assertive. But we have to understand too that merely words don't heal wounds. Those who have suffered because of this world's unacceptable discrimination can't simply stand up unless you give a hand and your call to be brave is not a helping hand. Please understand that you telling them something they already know but are unable to do makes them more embarrassed of their own trauma. They assume their struggles make them weak and thus don't talk about it to people. But we need to encourage them to believe they are strong. They don't have to be anything, they already are so much and after what misery they survived they deserve to feel victimized, sad, betrayed and hurt. It's only natural.
