“Life is too short to spend it at war with yourself.”
— Unknown
Too many days and nights passed through the body and slowly took the body away. Where is that child? Where is that childhood? I drift in the tides of time and lose myself wave after wave.
I remember this from a fortune cookie I received after dinner some odd years back.... Can you say foreshadowing?
You’re hopeless, but I’m still hoping..

I'm not gonna lie.... I do feel this. From when I was kid, I'd always mimic the MCs in anime and cartoons. I personally loved the timeskips because for me, it was like I'm growing and learning along with them, showing off my newly acquired skills and feeling like others as well as myself could see those changes. But now... I'm moving faster than them... too fast but also too slow. There's now a disconnect in what I watch and its a quiet heartbreak that I've aged past them... Damn.
the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

Also unlearn seeing yourself as the bad guy...
Unlearn self-shrinking.
Unlearn over giving.
Unlearn overthinking.
Unlearn always anticipating the worst.
If you ever want to see the true side of humanity.... Be a host for Airbnb. People are such fucking slobs in other people's homes.
It’s ironic, isn’t it? Distancing yourself from the one who came closest to your soul.
this is a poster i made for my call to action assignment in humanities! it's a bunch of basic and easy stretches for people who sit and work at a desk all day (me)
the idea is that you'd put the poster up above ur desk and do the stretches every 30 minutes or so,, the whole routine won't take more than about 6 minutes to complete and when done regularly it can prevent wrist, shoulder, neck and back pain! :)
all these stretches can be done while sitting (although i HIGHLY recommend you stand up and move around while taking a break from working)
