“Your life will change the moment you realise that no one is judging you as harshly as you are judging yourself.”

The word ‘Mamihlapinatapai’ is thought to be one of the most difficult words to translate. Derived from Yaghan, an indigenous language of Tierra del Fuego, it’s listed in The Guinness Book of World Records as the ‘most succinct word,’ and refers to “a look shared by two people, each wishing that the other would initiate something that they both want, but which neither wants to begin.”

“‘You said I killed you — haunt me, then! The murdered do haunt their murderers. I believe — I know that ghosts have wandered on earth. Be with me always — take any form — drive me mad! Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, god! It is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!’”
Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë
i honestly believe human beings are not meant to live like this. we are meant to live in loving communities and be around nature every day and grow our own food and create art and not work day and night until we die. this longing for another life is not human nature, it’s a symptom of modern society.

Developing your writing style is a continuous process that requires time and effort. Here are some tips to help you find your voice:
Read a variety of books, articles, and other writing to expose yourself to different styles and perspectives. Take note of writing styles you admire and consider why they appeal to you.
The more you write, the more you'll develop your writing skills and style. Write in a journal, start a blog, or write for a personal project to get regular practice.
Try writing in different styles to see what works best for you. Play around with voice, tone, and syntax to develop your own voice.
A good understanding of grammar and syntax will help you write more effectively and with more confidence.
Revision is key to improving your writing style. Read your writing critically and consider how you can make it more concise, clear, and engaging.
Share your writing with others and ask for feedback. This will help you identify strengths and weaknesses and give you a fresh perspective on your writing.
Remember, developing a writing style takes time and practice. Don't get discouraged if it doesn't happen overnight. Keep writing and experimenting, and you'll find your voice eventually. Good luck!
